Because they are treated in a decent way.

Yes, they had to fight for their rights, but if men had not finally agreed to their cause, things would not have changed.
Many men like John Stuart Mill actively supported women.

How to praise them ?

At least once a day a woman should look at a man in the street in a friendly way. Or with admiration and gratitude.
