The song received positive reviews from music critics who wrote that it finds Stansfield at her best and called it a "more feisty affair, full of texture and whit."[2][3] At first, "Treat Me Like a Woman" was set for release in the United Kingdom as a double A-side single with "Easier." ZTT Records set the release date for 4 October 2004 but the single was withdrawn at the last minute.[4] Later, "Treat Me Like a Woman" was selected as the lead single from The Moment in Europe and was issued on 14 February 2005.[5] It peaked at number thirty-six in Austria and forty-three in Germany.[6] The song reached number nine on the list of the most played British songs on German radio in 2005.[7] An accompanying music video, directed by Kevin Godley in 2004, was also released and included on the enhanced CD of The Moment in 2005.

gollark: There is apparently work on accursed optics things for the displays, and batteries... are harder, but maybe minimising power use with more efficient hardware can be done.
gollark: Enough minor conveniences stacked together gives a useful product. And you can fit smartphone SoCs into slightly bulky glasses - there are already AR devkits doing this. The main limitation is that the displays aren't very good and it is hard to fit sufficient batteries.
gollark: Also, you could sort of gain extra senses of some possible value by mapping things like LIDAR output (AR glasses will probably have something like that for object recognition) and the local wireless environment onto the display.
gollark: Oh, and there's the obvious probably-leading-to-terrible-consequences thing of being able to conveniently see the social media profiles of anyone you meet.
gollark: Some uses: if you are going shopping in a real-world shop you could get reviews displayed on the items you look at; it could be a more convenient interface for navigation apps; you could have an instructional video open while learning to do something (which is already doable on a phone, yes, but then you have to either hold or or stand it up somewhere, which is somewhat less convenient), and with some extra design work it could interactively highlight the things you're using; you could implement a real-world adblocker if there's some way to dim/opacify/draw attention away from certain bits of the display.
