Universal liberalism is about levelling. Eg when women began to be able to access professional qualifications as well as men.

This meant men had more competition & some of them wouldn't make the cut & would be unemployed. But they still had equal access.

At times this produces an adverse effect, lowering the standard. As we saw with the 'no child left behind' policy.

Why would adding women to the mix and allowing employers to select the best qualified lower the standard? More brains to choose from.

Some jobs require more strength then brains. That's not my point I'm not bringing feminist ideology into question just providing an example

Of lowering standards to make something more inclusive. Such examples are prevelant all over our society right now.

Your use of the word 'levelling' implies lowering something while raising another. If you aren't referring to standards then what, exactly?

A level playing field is an expression meaning that everyone has the same opportunities. They may or may not be capable of using them.

And what steps must society take to implement such opportunities?

We've done it. Pretty much. We opened opportunities to women & the working class. Legalised homosexuality & same sex marriage.
