I bet that in the past few months or maybe even years you've seen many people protesting for equality between people of class, gender, and race, multiple times. You hear the repeated out cries screaming its classist, sexist, or racist, to say that success only happens when you work for it, when you say that there actually is a reason that woman get paid less, or when you say that refugees commit more crimes than average citizens. But in truth, those are all true statements.
A lot of rich people came from poor backgrounds but worked their way to the top. Females do get paid less for a reason, employers don't actually give a shit about your gender, but females, especially older, middle aged ones, take maternity leave, and since they need to get paid still the lower salary compensates for that, even then you could say it is sexist to assume the girl is the one that is going to go on maternity lave but 95% of the time that is the case. And now I know swedish people and dutch people are really defiant on this type of statement but I honestly don't think we should just leave them alone saying that they're just victims. They do commit crimes, sometimes even passion crimes, and they are way more likely to do that, now call me racist, a bigot, I don't care, its a fact, I'm not saying I hate them or they shouldn't be allowed, I'm just stating a fact.
Now people always go and say that we should be equal towards everyone and not care about our differences and just treat them the exact same way we would treat anyone. And honestly, that is the worst protest purpose that I've heard in a long time. You can't treat a person on the Autistic Spectrum the same way you would treat an NBA player you like and you can't treat a highly esteemed investigate banker the same way you would treat them. Everyone has different needs so its stupid to try to render equality into how you behave with them, instead you should try to use equity in your interactions with them. Equity meaning giving people their specific needs, needs to achieve success, needs on your interactions, needs on anything that they need to have fair opportunity for all.
That may not seem to make any sense but think of it this way. Four sprinters are racing around an oval shaped, standard four-hundred meter track. Now would you make them all start side by side and expect to have equality? No! The ones on the inside have the advantage because they need to travel a little less distance than the other four. Here you need to apply equity and give the ones one the outside each a little more of a head start than to the people to their inside.
Now everyday equality is being applied and because of that so many lives are being negatively affected. Equality only works if both people come from the same start point and are given the same opportunities. Only after we ensure equity can we enjoy equality.
