So your saying that we all should be equal across the board?
Haven't given that much thought have you? You currently enjoy a life style provided to you by literal slaves. All the cheap merchandise you buy (All your electronics, textiles/cloths, Food, cars, housing and everything else you can afford and enjoy, has been built on the back of really cheap labor. Labor so cheap that one can not manufacture these products in western soceity and afford to remain in business, so they take manufacturing to a country that allows for slave wages (A wage less than the current cost of living, which endentures the worker to the company who employees them)
Now if we are all truly equal then 'affordable products' get taken off the table. because soceity can not bring everyone up to your standard of living, so that means your standard of living must be brought down to near the poorest of the poor.
Is this the equality you really want? If not then please explain the difference between the social ecconomic status you enjoy for being born to the right parents verses the status someone born in to an indian or chinese factory enjoys, and the gender seperation outlined in scripture?
