The use of phrase "I treat you like a lady" is hypocritical in the modern western society

I'm surprised that Pro has referred to gender inequality when the example she gave was of a woman saying that she treated my opponent "like a lady". We might interpret the comment as being about gender: she treated Pro like a lady [rather than like a gentleman]. But of course, unless Pro's gender is in question, or there was some explicit reason to compare her with men, it seems unlikely that Pro's friend was making a distinction, but was referring only to class. That is, she was treating Pro like a lady, rather than like a common woman, skank, tramp, or hag.The distinction is one illustrated best by the fairytale The Princess and the Pea. In the tale, the Princess cannot sleep because there is a pea under a pile of mattresses and it disturbs her. A common wench would not have minded a pea, obviously, and would probably have slept comfortably on a sack of nails. Along these lines, then, I think to treat someone like a lady means getting out the best plates, because a lady would be offended by crude designs or chipped crockery, and fussing about with details such as flowers, presentation, good wine, etc. This is not about distinguishing men from women. It's about distinguishing ladies from the commoners.Pro objects that the term "lady" is outdated, and yet I challenge her to provide a modern term that encompasses this idea of delicate and refined treatment. You could say, "I treated her like a princess," but it's not ideal because it might imply that her guest behaved like a "princess" which is not very complimentary. Please compare these definitions of "princess" and "lady" from urbandictionary:Princess: (1)A girl that has been pampered, sheltered and spoiled her whole life to the extent that she has no friggin idea about the real world. a girl who is stuck-up, snobby, and thinks she's perfect, but actually she's annoying and you wanna slap herLady: (2) a masterpeice created by god... One of the best things in the world. A female who you really care about. An elegant and good-hearted woman who uses her femininity in the most dignified and endearing way possible.HypocrisyIn some circumstances, it could be hypocritical to talk about being treated like a lady. For example, a radical feminist who spent all day railing against the patriarchy and sexism would be hypocritical if she complained that her boyfriend wasn't treating her "like a lady" because it would imply that she wanted special treatment which would be in direct contradiction with her stated principles.However, Pro is arguing that ANY westerner who uses the phrase is being hypocritical. However, a woman treating another woman "like a lady" is not necessarily being hypocritical because she may mean the term to differentiate between classy refined treatment and coarse common treatment. In any case, a lot of people are anti-feminist. On this site alone, there are scores of people who advocate for gender roles (for example (3)), and for them to use terms such as "lady" would be entirely consistent with their stated principles, and so it would not be hypocritical for them.Apart from that, I'm honored to be part of Pro's first debate on this site, welcome, and thank you for initiating this interesting topic.(1)http://www.urbandictionary.com...;(2) http://www.urbandictionary.com...;(3) http://www.debate.org...;
