Many women degrades womanity, how about you? how do you value a woman/yourself?
Nobody should take away someones opportunity to be whoever they want to be. You shouldn't stay in their way if it doesn't affect you. You don't choose how you were born.
This doesn't mean people are equal of course, no one is. Respect needs to be earned by everyone individually, since we are all different.
Only thing you should do differently when it comes to women is that you should be more careful with them, just in case, since vast majority of women aren't built neither physically nor mentally for violence as much as majority of men are. So be a gentleman, but don't tell them what they should do or be, that is every humans right to choose for themselves. But when it comes to relationships, it is up to you on what type of woman you want to be with, but there is no reason to not treat them equal as yourself if they deserve it like any other human being.
