I always treat women with the same respect as the men on the course.

Today we were paired behind a group of 4 women, I would say all in their mid 40's(not relevant but just setting the scene). The starter sent us down to the tee to tee off behind them and the two guys we were paired with pulled up to the middle tee while the women were on the forward tee, my buddy and I stayed back further to properly "give them the tee". The guys walk over to us and are talking loudly as the women are teeing off at which point I shhhsshh them and point to the ladies teeing off.

I had the "honor" on most holes and was the longest hitter of the group and I made sure the women in front of us were WELL out of range before teeing off, or on the green on par 4's. But yet we were slightly waiting on them most holes with no one in front of them. At the turn we were well back waiting for them to tee off, and one of the ladies turns around in her cart and says with a little attitude, "you might as well go ahead of us, you've been on us all morning". So we did, and all of us said thank you several times and got no response from them except one lady may have given a casual wave, or she was swatting a fly, not sure which. But now in thinking about it, we never pressed them and waited until they were WELL out of range or gone off the hole before hitting!! But yet we still got attitude from them as if we were hitting in to them or rushing them.

I'm not sure what the point of my rambling is, but I guess I could stereotype women based on the group in front of us today, but I won't. I felt we were respectful to them as a group and never pressed them, but apparently that wasn't good enough as they felt compelled to give us attitude when they let us play through.
