That's not how the terms have been used in the past decade. "Equality" has always meant a level playing field (everyone judged based on what they bring to the table), whereas "equity" in present-day discourse means everyone is literally treated the same regardless of merit. If you want people to listen to your ideas at the table and accept or reject them based on merit, that's equality. Everyone starts off from an equal standing. If you want your one vote regardless of what people think or how grand or stupid your ideas are, that's equity. Among N people you always get 1/Nth the attention, reward, impact, etc.
