I would say yes. IRL you need to use context clues and mannerisms to decide how that person wants to be treated and then do your best to treat them that way within your own comfort zone.

Nope.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

If you're in a building of worship? Do you think both women should be treated equally even though one is disrespecting the religious values of a place people may consider to be sacred?

What if you're in a stuck elevator and your police scanner announces that there may be an armed suspected murderer stuck in the elevator?

What if youre at a nude water park?

What if you the naked lady is brushing her boobs against you every time she walks by?

What if the burka lady is doing the funky chicken?

We treat people differently for different reasons all the time. The question in the OP is poorly worded at best.

Actually this is how my wife decided how her  and I would resolve heated discussions.  When the conversation gets heated or unpleasant she starts undressing.  It is actually quite difficult to converse with someone that is naked, at least for me.  

It has been an effective method of conflict resolution between us.

I have adopted the same strategy, and it works like a charm. I undress; my wife points and laughs. She just can't stay angry with me.

It seems to elicit the same response even if we're not arguing.

I get what you're saying, but I don't believe the spirit of the question was meant to be so technical like that. (Obviously, being naked in public, for example, is illegal, so someone walking around naked would get arrested while someone wearing a burka would not, and etc etc.) 

I think the question was meant to be about whether or not a woman's value, or how much we respect her, how well we see her as a person, etc, would change in our eyes based on how much she is showing her body. To that, I answered no. But I suppose the OP should jump in here and clarify exactly where the spirit of the question was at.

Agree. I get naked a lot, and don't care if I am naked in front of other people. I'm still the same person and expect to be treated as such. My clothes don't define me, but I recognise that society generally does place demands on how women dress and define them accordingly.

You might say I'd treat her with more respect if she was naked. At least I wouldn't be undressing her with my eyes. (Voted no, duh.)

Wait a minute.  Not so fast.

um,

with my raging homo thing, I'm unlikely to notice either woman


sorry
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
