As somebody who has worked on both sides of the camera, I can honestly say that I have not once been disrespected (to my face, anyway) since crossing over to the "clothed" side. When I used to go to the shows as "content", that was a different story. I was never outright disrespected, but I could feel that the respect was not there.
For most women in the industry who aren't content, I don't think respect is really an issue. I think that the few women in this biz who DO know their shit are generally treated with more respect than most men are. However, it takes a special kind of woman to stay in this extremely male-dominated industry for any length of time, and not lose their respect for men. I personally see very few men at industry conventions and parties who possess the kind of qualities that deserve respect.
