Things that are not equal should not be considered equal. You can give people an equal opportunity, but that's different than believing they are the same inherently. That is equity and it's why people are saying men and women are identical.

Simply don't shy away from stereotypes, especially when they coincide with reliable data.

I get that. What I don't get is why anyone should care about anything after equal opportunity is established.

Because people that preform worse still want more. And since they lack the ability to preform as individuals. That means they likely will work more in a tribal manner to ensure they get ahead compared to others, even if they don't deserve it as much.

Yeah, Tough shit.

And since they lack the ability to preform as individuals. That means they likely will work more in a tribal manner to ensure they get ahead compared to others, even if they don't deserve it as much.

That explains why people care. It doesn't explain why anyone should care.

Because if they're smart enough they will lie, subvert, and parasitize the society. When you have many strong individuals they will underestimate the power of working together and undermining powerful institutions. Some key areas are banking, news, and education.

They will act as gatekeepers and prevent those strong individuals from rising to the top, because they do not have a support structure of other people looking out for them. This is how a meritocratic society no longer becomes meritocratic.

The best way to demonstrate the importance of differences is male vs female. Women are being raised to believe that they can be just as strong, just as fast as men. They cannot. It's not possible. Their very biology won't allow it. Maybe the top 1% of women could breach the bottom 10% of men, but even that's unlikely.

As a result of these lies, women are becoming soldiers. Firefighters. Cops. And when they do, they put lives on the line. If you're trapped in a burning building and a female firefighter comes to save you, you'd better weigh under 120 pounds or you're most likely dead. If you call 911 on a psychopath with a knife, you'd better hope he doesn't get the female cop in a grapple hold, because if he does she's dead.

Acknowledging tangible differences saves lives.
