No, I am truly puzzled, and acting in good faith. What do you, as a woman, want?
If you say, "I want you to act the same way towards everyone, but in a way that is more balanced between the way you should act towards men, and the way you should act towards women", then that is illogical, as I explained above. It assumes both that men and women are the same (hence we should treat them the same), and that they are not (hence we should adjust our behavior to be somewhere between two gender-specific optimums).
Your logical questioning is reasonable. Your mistake is in thinking reasonableness or logical coherency is important in matters of politics.
