Are They Really After Equal Rights?

Feminism. Equal rights for this group or that. Special treatment for different classes of people. Unisex bathrooms.

It's getting crazy! And it is the intentional push by the mainstream media and the left to muddy the waters as much as possible, to cause so much confusion - and guilt - that it becomes easy for them to get their liberal agenda through, because confused people, riddled with the guilt imposed upon them, will throw their hands up and surrender.

The purpose of this post, however, is to make a single point that clears all the mud from the waters.

Let's start with the fact that feminists do not want equal rights - they want more rights. They want equal pay (fair enough) but refuse to accept that Daddy can get custody of the kids, and think women are entitled to special treatment, such as when they break the law and resist arrest, the police should not use physical force to subdue them, if necessary. And feminists do not want equality for all women - not one speaks out against the abuse that some nations impose on women, nor do they stand up for any conservative women. If the woman is not an American, and a liberal, feminists are not interested in protecting their rights. So, feminism is a farce - a creation by a far-left liberal to push a liberal agenda.

The same can be said for other groups that claim they only want "equal rights", when in fact, they want to be recognized and treated as special. Whether its "safe spaces", or a desire to erase history they do not like (i.e. taking down monuments, flags etc.) or stifling free speech that they disagree with, those groups are also pushing a false agenda. They want their free speech, but do not allow for it from others.

So here's a simple point: everyone, regardless of age, gender, religion, race - whatever - everyone should be treated equally. Not better. Not worse. If Martha Stewart goes to jail for lying, so should Hillary. If a Navy recruit goes to prison for a minor infraction of national security, then so should Eric Holder (Fast & Furious). If a man can be physically subdued for breaking the law, then the same should hold true for a woman. And if that is not acceptable, then NEITHER should be physically subdued for breaking the law. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. Equality does not allow for exceptions.

Equality is not always nice - but it is always fair. It is why the statue of Justice wears a blindfold.

Each of us must make a choice - believe that either we are ALL equal, or none of us are. No special treatment due to your class, race, gender etc. Respect the rights of all people, or of none.

That said, equality is a figment of the imagination. It does not exist in nature, nor does fairness - any equality or fairness that exists must be imposed by the strong to protect the weak. Does anyone believe a child born deformed and mentally challenged could ever truly be equal with brainy, athletic people?

And one final point of fact - EQUAL is not synonymous with SAME. Males and females are not the same, and therefore can never be completely equal - at least not until men can experience child-birth, and women no longer have an extra rib. Ethnicities can be equal, but never the same.

Try not to miss the point - we are either equal or we are not. We can't have it both ways. Equality is not a part-time thing that applies over here, but not over there. If you think it is wrong to treat one person a certain way because of their gender, race, religion etc., then it is wrong to treat anyone that way. Always put the shoe on your own foot - would you like to be treated that way?

It's time we stopped letting the left muddy things up by telling us we all need to be not only equal, but the same. We only need to accept each other for who and what we are as individuals.
