From Wikipedia:
"Egalitarianism is a school of thought that prioritizes equality for all people. According to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Egalitarian doctrines maintain that all humans are equal in fundamental worth or social status.According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the term has two distinct definitions in modern English: either as a political doctrine that all people should be treated as equals and have the same political, economic, social and civil rights;or as a social philosophy advocating the removal of economic inequalities among people, economic egalitarianism, or the decentralization of power. Some sources define egalitarianism as the point of view that equality reflects the natural state of humanity."
In the age of 3rd wave feminism, people may tend to shy away from identifying as a "feminist". Despite this, I suspect many here who hold positions similar to that of 1st and 2nd wave feminist. As such, this term appears to be trending. What are your thoughts?
Do you believe in equal rights?
Do you believe in equal opportunity?
Do you support equal outcome?
Do you prefer equality or equity?
I do consider myself that
Do you believe in equal rights: Yes
Do you believe in equal opportunity: Yes
Do you support equal outcome: No, equality of outcome is fundamentally wrong
Do you prefer equality or equity: Equality is vastly preferable
I do believe in equal rights. No I do t support equal outcome, if I work harder than someone why should we come out at the end as equals(in terms of outcome and distinction).
Equal right- Yes
Equal opportunity- yes
Equal outcome?- No
Equality or Equity- Equality in a landslide
I like to think I hold a good bit of Egalitarian beliefs
While I'm not huge on labels I'd say this one fits me pretty well.
I believe in equal rights.
Equal opportunity.
However there's simply no way to dictate or ensure equal outcome, that's dependent on circumstances and individual output.
I believe in equity as much as it is reasonable.
