RE: Living in a society where there's no gender would be a nice approach
Why do we all need the same IQ for it to make a difference? It is not necessarily the goal to give the same life to everyone, that would be a debate about communism. The issue here is that people do not get the same chances in life because of gender. There are undoubtedly differences from person to person, but similar personalities should have the same chances in my opinion.
:)
Even people without similar personalities. No way to really test ability. Give people a shot. Let them fail, or succeed, based on merit.
Indeed you should treat everyone equally, but if their capabilities show to be lacking you should be able to fire him/her, or he/she should start another education for example. They should have the same chances disregarding gender but not be te same because everyone has a different personality.
Merit should rule, not a predetermined quality. I agree. It's just that, having had a hand in education (professionally), I'm fully aware that assessments are not accurate. Many abilities are not measurable. Just give people a chance to prove themselves. If they cannot perform, they must be redirected. Not only are many abilities not measurable, but bias inevitably enters into every assessment. Just give people a chance to fail--or succeed. I've seen some surprising outcomes in my time.
