Some people have criticise equality as part of the Marxist philosophy. Knowing this, it's near inescapable to internalise what Vladimir Lenin had once said, "To control the opposition, we lead it ourselves". So, those who reject feminism and espouse equality are falling into the same Marxist trap. What do you think?
I think one can advocate for equality before the law and equality of opportunity without accepting Marxism; definitely not equality of outcome. Each person should be able to bring their gifts and abilities to the world without hindrance based on race, sex, etc. (unlike our modern day affirmative-action injustice, whereby white men are consistently discriminated against). We need to accept that there will be differences in outcome because people are different; some are more ambitious, smarter, more beautiful, more dedicated, more driven, more talented.
But how is this concept of equality going to work out when whites become the minority? Do you think blacks in South Africa extended the same treatment to the whites? In case you didn't know, racial diversity reduces trust and social cohesion. Read Robert Putnam's 'Bowling Alone' on this.
Then again no civilisation is built on equality - let alone be sustained by it. To me equality I'd just another woke idea.
Now THAT is another matter altogether. I'm thinking about the ideal in white-majority countries, which are where I would prefer to live. I don't believe that equality should be the highest goal; I believe that merit and truth should be. It seems undeniable that racial diversity reduces trust and social cohesion.
Still, I'm sceptical, just because a women fits the qualification, doesn't mean her nature, especially her sensitivity, is gone. Even you wrote about this in your blog, 'I hope the future isn't female'. The West was at its best prior to the 1960s when the gender roles were clearly defined and had taboos on what the sexes can or cannot do for the other to fulfill in marriage. This collapsed, now everyone is just an individual. I personally know women who argue that women shouldn't have voting right and be able to engage in politics, arguing that it's a space that should be left solely to men.
I really do think the West is on its way out. After all rise of women into the work place isn't new. It happened in Greece and Rome when they were in decline.
