What if, instead of benevolent sexism, we were nice to everyone all the time, regardless of gender?

Everyone think that would be manageable? Would that be too much to ask? I mean no one is saying don't be nice to women, but you should never be nice to someone BECAUSE they are woman.

I really don't think either side is being that unreasonable here.
