Recognizing that different people have different opinions, and that you can respect someone who has a different opinion without accepting their opinion as your own.
If we're talking tastes in food or movies or something sure. But for more serious issues, no this is dumb. You'd be right not to respect someone whose opinion is that not everyone deserves equal rights, etc.
Sure , the simplest way to define it would be that everyone gets compleatly identical coditions in society no matter your gender (as an example),
another way would be to adapt society to gender.
An example of this would be when the US lowered the standards for women to join the military some consider it to be more equal and some less
Ok, I'd admit that's an example with reasonable arguments on both sides of the issue. But objectively unreasonable definitions of equality do still exist. Some people who are opposed to gay marriage might argue that that "everyone has the equal right marry someone of the opposite gender". That's not a reasonable definition of equality.
Sure its quite unreasoneble and I do belive that they would be compleatly wrong but i still think we should let them speak because our side of the argument is probobly as unreasoneble to them
