Should a woman be treated differently if...

Respect as a human being, yes. Being a bad person, or wearing some sort of hateful message, doesn't take away someone's humanity... or their right to be treated as such. 

This doesn't mean I'll address a man who approaches me in the street wearing a policeman uniform the same way I'll address a man who approaches me in the street wearing a regular t shirt and shorts, for example. As I said before, and as the OP confirmed, this is not the context of his question.

Sure, we live in a fallen world after all where people will often mistreat others based on many things, including treating a woman in a disrespectful or objectifying manner because she is showing more skin. The question is about whether or not we should treat them that way. If your answer is yes, then, as I said before, we will just have to agree to disagree. I don't think either one of us will be convinced by the other's views on this.
"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."
