Equality doesn’t necessarily mean that people should be treated EXACTLY the same. It’s about equality of opportunity.
in terms of validity of opinion, would you give equal weight to the opinion of a leading epidemiologist and that of someone with no training in the field on the subject of pandemics?
There are going to be things that you aren’t going to fully appreciate because you don’t have the experience.
My opinion on women’s rights just isn’t as valid as the opinion of my wife as I’m not a woman. I can be an ally, I can *have* an opinion, but my opinion isn’t as valid on the subject of women’s rights.
Just as my opinion of racism isn’t as valid as the opinion of people of colour.
Society will never be equal until we stop categorising people into groups when we see fit.
I just find it tedious how if you're a white male in western society you have some imaginary crown that gives you unlimited power and can somehow never face discrimination.
Yet how many times do you hear women call men "players" or "dogs" "all men are the same" yet if a bloke calls a woman a derogatory or stereotypical term they are a sexist pig.
You hear "if you're white your opinion isn't valid on this matter" yet if a white person said "if you're asian your opinion isnt valid on this subject" they would be seen as a bad racist.
Being a white male isn't this magical thing its made out to be when you are attacked for all of society's ills and can not have an opinion on anything unless it fits a specific narrative.
