Did it occur to you that a better alternative is to provide a safety net for both men and women, instead of taking the response "if i can't have it, you can't either"?
Engaging in a race to the bottom, ensuring everybody is equally bad off, is maybe not the best strategy to ensure equal treatment. (yes, it works. It's just not very productive)
- laurent92 5y agoYes. What if neither is possible? - People do not want to provide this safety net for men, - People psychologically resist to remove it from women. Equality is not possible.
- groby_b 5y ago"do not want" isn't "isn't possible". It takes work to effect that change, but it isn't impossible. As for the second statement: Removing a safety net from somebody else for equality's sake is the equivalent of a three year old smashing their toy so their brother can't play with it either. Yep, equal outcome is guaranteed now, but there's a more adult way to handle it.
