It's not that they "should react the same", it's that - ideally - they shouldn't have to act differently to be treated equally.

I'll concede that imperfect but effective solutions are probably necessary to help foster this sort of equality in the long run, though, and the more people who step up and take responsibility for pushing the change (regardless of gender), the better.
