Contrary to a lot of people around these parts, I have no problem with respecting women equally to men. It’s just that she requires equal accomplishments.  Feminists can easily hit those heights of respect and admiration by doing the same work men do.

More seriously, I don’t respect everyone equally from the outset (who does?). I’ll give basic civility, but the amount of respect – to man or woman – depends on the person’s actions and behavior.
