Your golf example is terrible. Golf is a sport. Get better, there is no reason to expect "equality" in Golf. Learn 2 play and all that jazz.
It's no that simple. It's certainly not that simple in this particular case. For example, how would you redress inequality here by "simply" removing some restriction?
In this particular case ? Which inequality are you referring to exactly ? Last I checked, there is no inequality here. There's a lack of participants in STEM, not a barrier for women or minority groups to actually get in STEM. That women and minorities don't sign up to STEM programs doesn't mean there is inequality.
I mean, are you also going to contend that Nursing needs to be redressed by giving preferential treatment to men ?
In your gay marriage example, it is a simple matter of permitting marriage. (Though the process certainly wasn't simple, nor does it address discrimination and other problems that particular group faces related to marriage.)
Which is exactly how you address ALL inequalities.
I don't get your point. First for STEM, you seem to be arguing for Equality of Outcome, then for gay marriage, you accept Equality of Opportunity.
Which is it ? Because women in STEM have right now equality of opportunity, same as now gays with legalized gay marriage have equality of opportunity. And that is true equality.
Equality of Outcome, what you are apparently preaching for in STEM for women, is simply Diversity quotas, where you discriminate people based on gender/race to fill quotas so that you end up with exactly equal pie slices on your chart. That is exactly what Equality isn't and exactly what I'm saying is the wrong way to address equality issues.
You called the OP bigoted, but by pushing your Diversity quotas and your discrimination policies, can't you see how you could sound bigoted yourself ? That's why I said Ad hominem, it's simply an insult that brings nothing to the discussion. A difference of opinion is not bigotry necessarily.
