And also equality of opportunity. Which is an important part of the equation. Because no one is saying men and women should be EXACTLY the same as individual people. It's about treating women equally to men, and ensuring that they have the same opportunities as men. There should be nothing that a man can pursue that a woman can't also pursue.
I agree there should be equality of opportunity. However I think sometimes there is too much emphasis on the negatives of inequality than on the positives.
For example I think that it is a good think that men and women don't compete against each other in certain sports. I say certain sports because I firmly believe that there are some sports women can easily compete with men in, not all but certainly some! Which I don't think it's sexist to say, as you only need to look at some sports to see the difference in competitive times.
That being said, if there was a woman who was faster than Usain Bolt in his prime but a committee ruled she couldn't compete with men if she asked to just because she is a female. Well then I would expect people to be up in arms!
No, because you shouldn't be hitting anyone.
