YSK The difference between equality, justice and equity.locked
Why YSK: because what seems like equal situation from surface isn't always equal opportunity for all. And even when equal measure of help is provided, it might not be equally useful.

I guess that meme I keep seeing that's asks "did we leave all the stupid people on reddit?" Was wrong.
Y'all can't understand a few simple metaphorical images that looks like it was designed for children to understand, and are going all out in contriving obtuse reasons for why it doesn't work or isn't realistic.
Yes, of course if this was real she could walk to the other side, but it's a fucking metaphor.
Arguing about the metaphors and analogies instead of actual topics? Saw plenty of those during college, especially when the guy in question was being a contrarian just to 'stick it to the man' and look cool to their buddies.
I thought working adults would grow out of it - nah, we're all dumb children inside, including me.
I see it all the time. A certain demographic seemingly cannot comprehend metaphors and jf it isnt literally perfect in every way they attack it. I think really they know they wont look good admitting they have issues with the message of equality/equity so they attack the method of delivery instead
It's just such a bad metaphor. Not simple, bad.
