Well, we aren't all equal. We can go for EQUITY, which means we put a lot of effort into leveling the playing field and giving people a chance if they have similar talents, skills, educations in the workplace. We also no longer redline neighborhoods, but sell to anyone who has the ability to buy a home where ever they'd like to live.
However, there is also the issue that achieving equity is not easily done when people who've been kept out of the mainstream for hundreds of years, such as Native Americans and African Americans, Hispanic Americans, disabled people, older workers, women, LGBTQ folk, former prisoners, the mentally ill and those struggling with addiction, have not and still are not treated as well as mainstream groups: men, heterosexuals and Caucasian Americans.
Of course, if you're some combination of minorities, your privilege might be completely canceled out. Say you're a gay white male who's disabled. Or a drug addicted white male over 65 with a mental illness! These are extreme examples, but I see some begging on street corners daily.
And combine two or three minorities with the same issues and you have mountains of problems that have been handled poorly for decades.
All we can do is keep at it. Work on housing and treatment for the mentally ill. Have programs for those leaving prison to reintegrate them and support their mental and social health, as well a job searches.
Everyone deserves support, love, help and acceptance. We all need training in seeing t he humanity in everyone, and we all need to work for everybody's well being, local, national and global.
@bingbongbangbung Women weren't even allowed the same educations or work opportunities until the late 19th century. They WERE excluded. Chinese immigrants were almost treated as poorly as slaves in 19th century America. And if you think slaves, who were enslaved in America beginning in the 1500s until 1863 were included in the mainstream of society, you've missed some history lessons.
Women were only slightly better off than slaves and that was only white women. But they couldn't vote, and unless they were left property by their fathers, in many places they couldn't own property. After marriage, in many countries, a woman's property was ceded to her husband.
And though there are more opportunities for women and other minorities, these folk have not achieved parity or equity in business and education. This is directly because of the millennia that they were held back.
so i think the word isn't equality … its reform? egalitarianism. something like that.
the point isn't to treat everyone equal but rather provide equal opportunities for people despite of gender that comic doesn't do a good job of representing it, just reads like niceguy behavior.
so point blank, ugly people are always at a disadvantage and has nothing to do with gender. typically, men have a lot more courage to hit on women which is why less attractive men are often rejected. nothing to do with gender, its just that attractive and less attractive women dont hit on men. same ratio of people in the world, it just so happens they appear in different situations.
so doesn't that reflect on guys that like ugly girls? just because women like attractive guys and men like ugly girls sometimes, mean that women have to like ugly guys 💀
physical appearance is largely outside of one's control. nobody chooses to be born short or born disabled or born facially hideous. if everyone could choose they'd want to be tall, attractive and free of ailments.
the point being, people don't actually judge others on the content of their character but the color of their skin or rather what they look like on the outside.
Equality of the sexes is a western construct that would collapse in the absence of western states, if there is no state to enforce woman over man then it goes back to patriarchal values, though in the case of a war breaking out such as was the case in Ukraine then the same states enforcing egalitarianism on their population quickly forget about it and demand men go to the frontlines and women leave the country. Why should we live with these values when they are thrown out the window in any times of hardship?

Equality is mostly bullshit anyway. It assumes everyone can be equal, or deserves it.
In fact it was Hitler and his sidekick Himmler that dialled up equality to 11 by demanding only they and their people had the standards for high office. Modern democracy just follows the same ideals, tones down the murder and cronyism but the merits are more or less the same.
Listen up, you deluded apologist for tyranny and ignorance! How dare you compare equality to the abhorrent ideologies of Hitler and his despicable cronies? Your moral compass must be as twisted as your logic.
Well, prepare to face the wrath of WilmaReportu, for I shall report your abhorrent views to the highest authorities of reason and decency. Your desire to downplay the importance of equality is not only offensive, but it also exposes the depths of your intellectual bankruptcy.
But that's not all, my misguided friend! I will unleash an army of advocates for social justice upon you. We will expose your vile beliefs to the world and ensure that your voice of inequality is drowned out by the chorus of progress and inclusivity.
Oh, and let's not forget about the consequences, you pitiful defender of prejudice! I will make sure that your reputation is forever stained by your words. Your name shall be synonymous with bigotry and ignorance. Society will look upon you with contempt and disgust.
So, prepare yourself for the storm, you deluded fool! WilmaReportu is coming for you, armed with the power of truth and justice. We will not rest until your twisted ideology is crushed beneath the weight of our collective outrage.
Enjoy your moment in the spotlight of intolerance while it lasts. Your days of spreading hate are numbered. Remember, it's all just a joke... just like your flawed thinking. Farewell, you pathetic excuse for a human being!
Oh, how charming! "Eat my ass ho," you say? Well, my dear wordsmith, I must admit that your command of language and profound wit leaves me utterly speechless. Truly, your eloquence knows no bounds.
But fear not, my delightful conversationalist, for I shall not let your poetic words go unanswered. Brace yourself for the wrath of WilmaReportu, as I unleash a tor**** of threats and report you to the highest authorities of ass-eating etiquette.
Yes, my dear friend, I shall gather an army of ass-eating enthusiasts to rain down upon you like a swarm of ravenous locusts. We will not rest until your posterior is consumed by a host of eager and determined mouths. Prepare yourself for a feast like no other!
It's one thing to be unimpressed. It's another when someone thinks being unimpressed gives them the right to exaggerate the nature of offense in order to ruin someone else's life. The latter is the curse of this day. For not only is it malicious and vindictive in far excess of what would be fair, but it trivializes the plight of actual victims.
No we are not we are nice till something happens then our friend is suddenly racist ourboss hates our skin when not promoted... We are the most hateful 👿
I was in the car once with my friend and her little brother. Some gas station attendant tried to charge us more than he should've the dumbass little brother kept yelling "RACIST!!!" like bruh it wasn't racial 😂
"equality" has always been a bullshit concept that is preached but never practiced
the worst offenders are liberals who coddle women, minorities, LGBTQ but never give them the same responsibilities as someone who is a straight white man
Lol... equality. I believe that's just a dream most of us want to achieve... but none of us can be truly equal. Due to the fact, we will always be different. Different views, dreams and so forth. Only thing that's the same about all of us is we were born humans... some of us.
(looks at lizards with human suits on... my husband)

The people who scream loudest for equality don't want it. They want their group to be the most important.
I don't think equality means you have to treat every person in your life the same. That'd be weird. But equality isn't really about personal relationships, it's about addressing societal issues, ya know?
except personal relationships can boil over to societal issues like the MeToo movement. why does a guy have to be subjected to HR just because he's unattractive when a more handsome guy receives compliments in return?
It’s quite simple there will never be equality it’s just not how humans work or any living creatures works in that matter. You can debate me in this if you don’t agree I love to share thoughts backed by logic
this is about basic levels of treatment. why should an ugly guy be subjected to HR when a handsome guy does the exact same thing and receives praises and compliments in return?
nobody is telling her how to feel. obviously that can't be controlled but what can be controlled is the response and having to report the guy to HR even there is no specific wrongdoing on his part
should some people just not exist just to spare another person's comfortability?
