This is exactly why this conversation is so goddamned frustrating. It's almost as if you're deliberately missing the point.
So...no one was arguing that everyone should be treated the same?
Every time someone gets close to figuring out what the actual point we are supposed to address is I get so excited. Yeeee...oh nope that's not it either. Hmmpf
No, if you reread what I replied to, you'll see that the quote addresses the state of being of people ("And so when Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal," he did not mean "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are clones." [emphasis added])
I certainly wasn't arguing that men and women are exactly the same, and that makes that quote pretty irrelevant.
