    Consider this example: All of the prisoners are to be shot in the heart with 3 bolt action rifles. Order will be randomly selected and all corpse thrown in the same ditch. These prisoners get equal rights (not many). There is no discrimination based on gender, age, race, religion or marital status. Feminists should be opposed to firing squads and/or massacres. An equal rightist would be concerned whether the massacre targeted a specific demographic because the targets were in that demographic.
    Equality is impossible plain 'n simple and in fact should not ever, even be attempted IMO. I think people need to study the difference between equity and equality.

    The other hurdle we have is getting over gender bias. If employer for example has a legit reason to discriminate against people based on physical fitness, he should come up with a test that legitimately, and reasonable, weeds out those who are not fit enough... and it should not be based on gender, because, not every man out there is stronger than every woman out there, and vis versa. (That is I borrowed with brevity the age old topic of men vs women based on physical fitness).

    Edit: I think the reason we need to aim for equity is because in my exp in all cases that I can tell, men are treated equitable (to a degree), that is there is very little thought given if they are physical fit or not. -- I feel it ought not _need_ to be highlighted here but that if I do not I will regret not having done so, that is: I'm not about to write a entire theses paper here, I pulled one classic example in a sloppy fashion and to share that is all.
