I Believe In Equality

What really is equality? Does it empower? Does it break taboos? Does it enable self expression fully? Man and woman? Every man and woman? What about the wealthy and the poor, how does equality work? What really is equality?

I was married for around 20 years and i felt we had an equal relationship. This didn't mean that we were the same in every way, to me it meant that we shared the same vision for the relationship, discussed and planned together, looked at each others strengths and weaknesses and each tried to fill the gaps in the other and ultimately tried to make the relationship a single entity rather than two individuals jousting for position and control. Yes it empowers and i don't know about breaking taboos but it broke the social expectation from others, finally yes, it did enable self expression with no fear of trying to conform to a stereotype.
