There would be no differences to celebrate

@MrsKatherineArch but maybe we'd all be equal finally

@abe182@Fernie We can never really understand another's experience. But I know how much women aren't equal by how sexism is a pain in my ass.
Example 1. My wife is an intelligent and articulate person. Service people don't take her seriously. I have to literally stand next to her and say the same things she would have said about the car or house.
Example 2. I have female friends who ask me to go to the doctor with them if it's something serious because the doctors don't take them seriously.
Example 3. My wife and female friends can't enjoy the outdoors by themselves. My wife can't walk in the woods without me. There are too many assaults and flashers and other shenanigans.
I have never once had a problem, even a thought, in these regards.

@CopperCicada I don't know what the solution is. All I can do is treat everyone equally and with respect. Perhaps a generation has to die off first idk.
