Quote: That's not true at all. Some of us are indeed born with diagnosiable and recognized learning disablities that keep us from learning in the only way soceity teaches our kids. If you cant pick up what is being taught, you are quickly left behind with no hope of ever becomming a productive member of soceity, less devinne intervention.Having a learning disability is not the same as lacking education. Having a learning disability might be used by some people to define others' roles in society, but as we've established, this isn't right.
Quote:But, again how are these controlling factors any different from any other?
They're different in the sense that one has no choice in these statuses, AND the fact that these statuses don't affect one's ability to fulfill any given role, which is the entire point of equality, trying to ensure that the most qualified person performs the role regardless of irrelevant statuses like sex or race.
It would be like saying someone's role is to stay at home and cook just because they have a penis. It doesn't make sense, and it doesn't have any bearing on their ability to cook, so why even consider that as part of role-defining?
