How I feel about clients: "Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it." - This quote by Confucius describes how I feel about every client. It's not always physical appearance in a man that makes him a beautiful person. By truly keeping my eyes open I often see beauty in a man's wit, his intelligence, the caring and gentleness of his touch, his sincerity or sense of humor. There's something beautiful about every man and by finding it, it means he and I both have a more enjoyable and satisfying time together.''
Actually, the quote I gave does not seem to be in the "Analects," which is considered the best source of authentic Confucian statements. So I will withdraw it as suspect or from a disciple. However, the main quote about women in the Analects isn't much better, comparing women with unruly servants, depending on the translation.
BTW, I don't mean to get into a tiff with anyone. I just want to point out that the Confucian tradition places women in a subservient tradition--"Confucians taught that a virtuous woman was supposed to uphold 'three subordinations': be subordinate to her father before marriage, to her husband after marriage, and to her son after her husband died." Men could have concubines and see prostitutes, but women were meant to be chaste and never marry or even have sex after the death of a husband, even if the wife was still young. And so ends my lecture. 
As far as equality, I think men and women can agree that there should be full equality under the law, and equal access to education and the business world--no glass ceiling. As far as interpersonal relations, one is always dominate, either male or female. In that world, well, I'll let couples sort that out for themselves.
