In other words, "they" believe in equality even if it isn't fair;
Actually, they don't.
They believe in equality where it benefits women or doesn' t harm women. They don't believe in equality where it harms women. For example, they don't advocate for one PGA tour with both men and women playing by identical rules. They don't advocate one pro basketball league with women and men equally competing for position on the same team. They don't advocate unisex events at the olympics (marathon, pole vault, high jump, etc.). They want to protect women from competition in those areas where men are physically capable of performing better than women.
That's not true equality.
Most of us accept that women and men can't and shouldn't expect to compete equally in every venue.
I mean, what woman can pick stocks as well as a man can? <ducking quickly. Ha, you missed me!>
But seriously -- if we acknowledge that there are physical differences in musculature, in bone structure, etc, which require the separation of men and women in some physical activities, why are we so totally unwilling to accept that there might -- I say might, not are -- some physiological differences in brain structure which would make it unfair to require men to compete against women in some mental activities? |
