Egalitarianism And The Oppression Of Women

Improved Essays
Egalitarianism (as it is applied today) is actually simple: the belief that every group is the same. Why do you think they created all the censor words to disqualify anyone who doesn't hold this believe from speaking (racist, sexist, misogynist, homophobe, etc.)? They want this belief accepted without debate or discussion.

Why? because it allows them to confuse equal opportunity with equal outcome. If you say that equal opportunity doesn't lead to equal outcomes, then they can disqualify you from speaking (you are a sexist, racist, homophobic, Nazi, hater). And, thus it allows them to justify unequal treatment because unequal outcomes MUST be the result of either sexism or differences. Well, they already established (by censorship) that every

You see women make difference choices because they are oppressed, and so we need to give them more help, more resources, more money, more incentives, and essentially lower standards for them (i.e. favorable/unequal treatment in women's favor) to push women into making the decisions that will get an equal outcome...thus overcoming "the oppression of women".

Egalitarianism is about hiding differences between groups so they can justify GIVING to groups that which those group cannot earn in fair competition. It is handicapping, plain and simple.

The irony of this handicapping system is that the narrative of "oppression" prevents the handicapping to become universal because it establishes fixed "victim groups". So, if women are doing better in school, we can't handicap the system to favor boys...because women are the oppressed victim group. Recognizing boys as being oppressed would cause the whole narrative to fall apart under examination of this handicap system. It only works if no one is allowed to question it. That is why victim groups lose their minds trying to disqualify (censor) anyone who questions egalitarianism (the belief that all groups are the same....thus any differences in outcome MUST be

    Hi Rich, I agree that equal protection is the check and balance for race-based classifications. It could ensure that an action does not create inequality when addressing one type of racial discrimination. The intent may not be there, but as you stated as long as there is some sort of insurance that the programs created are not violating the equal protection clause. Although, the strict scrutiny standard of review may not always work on all racial classification cases, as seen in Korematsu v. United States, it is a viable method to determine the restrictions placed to remedy racial classification is evaluated for constitutionality (Chemerinsky 724).

    Looking at Contrast between Equality and the Council, by the end of the story, it’s found that their beliefs are close to polar opposites. For example, Equality values himself and his possessions over the need for ‘the best for the whole’ mentality much like his life under the Council along with their disagreement with the individual and making decisions by one’s self more so than what’s good for the city. Secondly he begins to influence his peers and others around him to change and begin to value themselves like the his female companion did near the end of the story. Additionally, when looking into his views more thoroughly, it is seen that his morals resemble that of an individualist, more so than the futuristic dictators that are ruling…

    In the debate between Sam and Diane about egalitarianism and loyalty, I am going to argue for Sam’s view that loyalty is more important than egalitarianism. Sam has been working in that bar for ten years, and has developed a relationship with his regular customers. He sometimes gives them free drinks as a reward for their stewardship, and they tip him well. Over those ten years, he has learned about their lives; he knows about their families and careers and they know about his.
