"Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”

and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”

and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay."

This is so well put I am stunned

@mxsparks @DionRa on the IA, the link to the original blog post redirects to the login to tumblr page. Maybe Abby made the post seeable only to logged in users at some point. idk.
