You can be polite about it and not confrontational.

Really important. Coming from a place of mutual respect is a really nice - even underrated - way to make progress in the privacy space!

I agree to be polite. Respect has to be earned, though.

This mindset is ridiculous to me. If you bump into a person on the street are you going to put them through some weird test to make them earn your respect before you apologize? Should a child in school just disregard teachers instructions until they’ve earned his or her respect? How about we all just respect each other. This doesn’t mean you have to kneel down and worship everyone who crosses your path.

Depends on the definition of respect. It ranges from “not being an asshole to them” to putting them on a pedestal.

Being a teacher (or just being older) does not automatically mean you should be respected. All of my teachers in schools were worthy of respect, except two. One of them was a spiteful hag.
