Gender Equality

Journal by The Mighty Buzzard

It will never be a literal thing, only a useful fiction, sorry. You want proof? Tide doesn't make laundry soap that smells like bacon or WD-40.

    If you parse 'equality' as meaning equal in every conceivable way, then no two people are equal.

    The sort of equality relevant to people is in the context of politics. Politically equal. Legally equal. That's all.

    It doesn't mean one person isn't smarter, or stronger, or better looking than the next. But regardless of any inequalities in other areas, each of us gets one vote, and it should be the same law that applies to everyone, no matter who or what they are.

      That's a warning, not a handbook.

        You'd think, but then again so was 1984. Yet we have so many people trying to institute a Ministry of Truth right now that it's fucking insane.

          Ah yes, like the president pushing blatant lies, barring journalists, and telling you reality is false while saying he can break the law with impunity.

          That IS what you meant right? RIGHT? I mean if buzztardo meant anything else I'd be SO SHOCKED!
