This isn't mine, I got it somewhere and don't recall who said it:

Sometimes people use "respect" to mean "treating someone like a person" and sometimes they use "respect" to mean "treat someone like an authority" and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say "if you won't respect me I won't respect you" and they mean "if you won't treat me like an authority I won't treat you like a person" and they think they are being 'fair' but they aren't.
