Recognizing genuine differences?

Doctor Damage writes "Apparently the answer to the question in the subject is "equality". At least, this is what the president of Australian Women Lawyers, Jennifer Batrouney, SC is quoted as claiming in this article at the Sydney Morning Herald.

The whole quote goes like this:

But the president of Australian Women Lawyers, Jennifer Batrouney, SC, says affirmative action is needed because "equality involves the recognition of genuine difference and, where it exists, different treatment".

I keep seeing this stuff and like the feminists of the 80s used to do, I just shake my head and say: they just don't get it.
When are they going to figure out that equality does not involve the granting of priveliged status for favored groups?"



Anybody else notice how she says equality and different in the same sentance? Oh yeah, no double standards there *rolls eyes skyward*
