"You treat a lady like a dame, and a dame like a lady"

[Anonymous]

Older quote but what do you think about it? Is there any amount of truth to it?

[Rick56]

It means treat a women who has status like a vulnerable woman(protect her treat her nicely and defend her even though she doesn't need you to.) And treat a woman without status with respect as if she does. Its just a sexist(female sexism not male) way of saying treat people the way you want to be treated. Human in a sense.

Treat em mean, keep em keen.
