Presented here are all the issues, ideas, philosophies, or beliefs involved in deciding whether you believe in what is promoted by the left as Gender Equality.

Overview

My friend said "Gender Equality" was a no-brainer, but her partner said he was not a believer.

We think we know what they were thinking, but here I want to detail the topic so we can be sure of where they agree and disagree, and why their overall conclusion is at odds.

The Pros and Cons is a concise but harsh presentation of arguments. The discussion has more conventionally presented arguments.

Con

• Men and women are not the same, so many factors other than misogyny cause unequal outcomes
• Identity politics is detrimental to politics that attempts to improve lives for everyone
• Meeting a sexual partner at work may become difficult or punishable
• It will benefit women at the expense of men (or not)
• Reasonable comments may be considered disrespectful, and unfairly punished

Pro

• It will benefit both men and women; society will be better
• Men exert their power over women
• Men are in power and a majority consider women inferior
• Men are in a position of privilege so women are disadvantaged
• Disrespect for women will be punished

Facts

• There is a big biological difference between men and women
• Women suffer more discrimination
