Do you want me to see you as my equal or as a woman

It is very hard to respect a person who on one day wishes to be looked at as my equal. On the next day when things are difficult she wishes to be looked upon and treated like a woman. This is very complicated but it is making men like myself very reluctant and uneasy around female counterparts.

Also I saw a news story where a woman slapped a man and spit on him while he was eating. The man stood up and punched her one time he broke her jaw. Everyone is angry at the man they say he has abused a woman. Unfortunately in the world that I live in if a man slapped another man and spit on him he would expect to get punched. This once again brings up the question do you want us to look at you as ladies or do you want us to look at you as equals?

I can see your point. I, for one, just want to be treated with respect. I don't expect men to treat me like a dainty little thing. AT the same time a lot of men disrespect women by expecting them to wait on them hand and foot just because they are men I won't let then get away with treating me like an inferior servant.

@Cloud7593 I can totally understand where you are coming from. I think the biggest point that I am trying to get across is that many women want equality but then complain when you give it to them. Thank you for taking the time to respond I hope you have an amazing day.

I agree some women are like that but most of us now recognize equality means accepting the rough with the smooth. One can't have unequal equality, nor can we have the same rights as men unless men have the same rights as we.
