I can see that ppl who'd deny ppl rights coz race, gender, sexuality can be good ppl otherwise &well-intentioned 1/2

But there's not much nuance in the argument for doing so if you value human rights, equality & freedom.
-
I don't disagree with those ideals necessarily. But, unfettered human rights, equality & freedom is unrealistic.
-
Well, they're not unfettered. Equality is qualified as equal opportunities & rights for ppl of all races, genders & sexualities
-
Which I support in principle, but they do threw up difficulties in everyday interpretation and implementation. Equal pay?
-
We have equal pay laws. You cannot pay someone less because of their gender. 'Interpretation' doesn't change that.
-
I agree, but discrimination on gender should be specifically proven, not demanding equal pay just because of shared job titles.
-
Why 'but?' That was my point. There does not seem to be discrimination by gender.
-
OK. I withdraw the "but".
