Equality is the intersection of all equivalence relations.
I spoke of equivalence relations rather than reflexive relations because, although reflexive relation is the most general that makes the claim true, the equivalence relation axioms form a complete theory if = is suppressed from the language, and this is the theory satisfied by =.

For anyone following along, RadishHarmers pointed out to me that the theory of an equivalence relation is not complete, even when = is suppressed from the language. It is, however, the theory of = for a set of unknown cardinality.
