Equal = Equity?

Equal=Equity? ….
By Sadje

Sadje's avatarKeep it alive

It happens to be the theme for International Women’s Day 2023. The idea is to not just stop at equality. The images will clarify the idea.

➰➰➰

Women aren’t equal to men in life

They are superior to them in many aspects

But when you look at the rights given to them

In this society of ours, they are lagging behind

So now we women don’t just want equality we demand equity too!

Now we demand to be treated fairly and given equal opportunities

Just like any other member of the society

We shouldn’t be handicapped from the start of the race

By tying weight of our womanhood around our ankles

By loading the dice against us because of our XX- chromosomes

We do more but receive less both in acknowledgment and money

Always remember, without women the society cannot exist

For we are the mothers that birth the sons…

My friend cribs about her tough life in a sales job, her monstrous boss and unfair incentive schemes. Clearly, she does not enjoy her job - nor did I. But being conversant with something helped me navigate the downturns better. I steer the conversation to what she’d like to do – lounge around in pyjamas, … Continue reading On the other side

Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #271 – Embrace Equity &
Moonwashed Weekly Prompt #133 – Conversant

all women are conversant
with the inequality befallen their sex
millennia of injustice
every generation fighting

all human beings
if they’d only embrace equity
acting as a collective
what a glorious world we’d be living in

Equality and equity for all women, and disabled people!

Equality and equity for all women and disabled people …. by Carol Anne

Carol anne's avatarTherapy Bits

I am disabled

And I am a woman

I deserve equality

And equity

Most disabled people

And even most women

Don’t get this

But we should!

I strive

To inform

The world

That

Women are strong

Its not the end of the world

To be disabled

Disabled people are strong, too!

Please treat all women

And all disabled people

With respect

With equity

And as equals

Equality in Everything

Equality in everything —- by Jim Adams

newepicauthor's avatarA Unique Title For Me

Does making things equal for everyone go against the law of survival of the fittest?  If everything were equal in this world, what would happen to competition?  Motivation is a driving force of human life and without it, nothing would ever be accomplished.  In Animal Farm, George Orwell said that “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.”  Power is always abused and there is no such a thing as an honest politician.  Most people are destined to be followers because they lack ambition and the determination to be in charge.  It has been said that “Equality is giving everyone a shoe.  Equity is giving everyone a shoe that fits.  Justice is when we don’t need to give everyone a shoe because they can get their own shoe and that shoe will fit.”  Equity is the quality of being fair and impartial and that is more…
