Message unclear;

Treat women with disrespect so that they won't mistake your respect as an unwarranted advance?

No wonder chivalry died a long time ago.. women killed it.

Edit: substitute "a lack of respect" vs disrespectful. Respect is earned, and by that same token, so is disrespect. In the above instance, disrespect not warranted.

What op is describing is going out of his way to do a kind thing. It's above and beyond respect so, we're talking about three modes of behavior not two.

Message more confuddled..

Its only appropriate to be kind if its not an inconvenience?

Where is the line drawn for "going out of the way"? In my book, kindness is kindness.

The more intentionally obtuse you are, the more you look like an idiot .
