In 2015, Username “stimmyabby” posted the following on Tumblr:

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

and sometime 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.

A grand view across a large wetlands pond — tall, green cattails in the near foreground and green trees on the far side of the pond, the still waters of the pond reflecting the trees, white puffy clouds, and blue sky, with the hazy outline of mountains in the very far distance on a warm, summer afternoon.
