Moral Equality?

Are we all as you say suited to be moral equally? I wonder. We are all unique. We all have the capacity to do good and evil (but equally so?---I just wonder what that means?) This is what I mean about the uncritiqued word. Would you claim to be a moral equal to the Marquis de Sade? Or the moral equal to Mother Teresa?

Yes, you mention that not to embrace 'equality' is to consider the female gender inferior to the male gender. Why should this be the assumption? Why isn't it reversed or not even considered? This is my entire point about the rose and the oak. We are conditioned to hear when we read someone lauding the distinction and decrying the 'equality' which is often forced or at least encouraged today. How many girls dress differently any more than boys? Is this accidental, just a quirk or has there been a concerted influence by those that wish to erase any distinction whatsoever? And nowhere did I state one group was more or less morally inferior or superior for that matter. People are conditioned to think this because of the mantra of 'equality'. It was what Marx sought to incorperate economically and what has been accepted uncritically with regard to the differences between the male and female. My point all along was only to point out how most of us have so imbibed this term without a healthy critique. I wonder why we so readily presume to raise the uniqueness, the distinctiveness, the glorious inequality, if you will, is to automatically default to inferiority---this I think is the conditioning, the manipulation with language. And of course this is only one of the many terms molding us in conformity to the world.
