Gender equality makes no sense
|
I understand where you're coming from and where you're going but I think you do unintentional harm getting there. Analogies would be: Saying racial equality makes no sense because physical and mental abilities do vary between the groups. Saying freedom of religion makes no sense because some religions contain more good to society and the world than others (Christian vs Muslim, Hindu vs Santeria, any Arabic based religion vs Satanism) Aspiring for things to be equal has its own value even if results vary. Saying they simply cannot be equal just allows excuses for those who want to be jerks about it. "Equality and equity are synonymous" Yeah you're right I didn't phrase it very well. I mean that to expect or enforce equality of outcome doesn't make sense. "what I meant is that gender equality makes no sense" You've made the same mistake I did, we both mean expecting or enforcing equality of outcome makes no sense. but you can't fight inequality as nothing can ever be equal. Hello s: It's true... But, that's NOT what liberals strive for.. Oh, it's what right wingers THINK liberals strive for - hence your post, but it's not.. If I thought that libs were trying to make everybody equal, I'd make fun of them too.. What liberals want is equality of OPPORTUNITY. That's not hard to understand, is it?? Ok, maybe it is.. excon 3

What liberals want is equality of OPPORTUNITY And yet we have throngs of rich minorities and women. And notice, women looking for middle class jobs never apply for the laborous jobs. I don't know if I've ever met a female who tried to be a plumber, electrician, or machinist. Hell, what are we supposed to do, force them to do jobs they don't want to do in order to be equal? Of course I'll say that, and the left will rotate its head back into zombie formation and demand equality while I'm looking at them with a blank stare. The average woman wants to be "equal"? Go get dirty for a living. Go fight for your country. Go to a technical school. Fix a car. Until then, guess what... What liberals want is equality of OPPORTUNITY Not across the board though, only for favored groups. Liberals want more opportunity for women in STEM sector jobs because they are significantly underrepresented there. This unequal outcome is presumed to be due to unequal opportunity. So we have grants and programs to give women more STEM opportunities. We do not, however, encourage to acquire more labor intensive tades which build middle class wealth, even though they are under represented there as well. Are there less women welders due to less opportunity? Furthermore, no one at all cares that coastal residents are significantly privileged when it come to sea fairing jobs. There are no government programs to move landlocked masses to the coast, even though there is essentially 0 opportunity for them to get ocean going jobs. I have to wonder, do you really want equality of opportunity? |
