When women say they wish they were treated, "you know, like a person" , well this is how "people" (meaning men) are treated. You wanted to be equal to a man? Here it is, this is how men are treated. Less powerful men are setup to fail, and are to fall on their swords for their errors of their superiors all the time.  You're lucky you don't get the full treatment and are simply ignored and then tossed in the refuse pile once you are deemed to longer be useful.

Maybe instead of singling our one group and giving that group special considerations, we should better the lot of all of the "little people" for lack of a better word, and then there would be a higher base line of "giving a poop about others"
