The same. A lot of people assume that someone not respecting someone else is because of the person thinking the two of them are not equal, when really everyone is equal, yet people still have good reasons not to respect people they don't respect.
The girl claimed to believe in equality, but held nothing sacred, including what she believed in. She would never really respect anyone or anything enough to hold anything sacred, but still expected the people she thought were uptight to respect her. By saying they were uptight, she was judging them, but expected nobody to judge her. She could see their double standards and hypocrisy, but not her own. She wasn't really trying to be equal to anyone, when she wasn't trying to be somebody else, she was trying to outdo them, which meant she was trying to be better than them, not equal. She was uber competitive because she wanted to be the best, not because she wanted to be equal to everybody else. Someone who really wants to be equal to everyone else isn't uber competitive, and also isn't always desperately trying to outdo somebody else.
