My point being that you should learn that women just like men are human beings and as such there is no special treatment in the context of the original tweet. The way it’s phrased implies that there is a special treatment for women that needs to be learned separately from how to treat men. If the tweet was in the spirit of “she taught me that women should be treated with the same respect as men” I wouldn’t have made my remark.
My point still stands. A general lesson about how to treat other humans is not enough, parents need to teach especially boys how to treat women, because the society will teach otherwise. You don’t need to teach that men are humans; unfortunately we have to teach that women are too.
I think this comment frames it best. Not all “lessons” your children receive can be controlled so you need to make sure to account for the incorrect lessons they’ll get from others.

So yes, let’s teach our sons how to treat women.
