What's the point of equality then if we're still so different?
To make two separate groups equal? I don't understand what is complex about that. They are separate groups according to how they are often treated in the workplace.

For example, from my very rough memory:
- People were upset there weren't more women in the armed forces.
- The armed forces lowered PT requirements for women so that more women could make it in (less pushups, slower mile times, can sit down in formation)
- Currently people are mad because that treats women differently. Among other things, it gives a sense that all women are weak and need extra accommodations, and that can hurt them in the eyes of men in the force.
So we have this struggle of wanting to include more women, but we have to figure out how to do it without favoritism.
There are good reasons for increasing diversity, and if that means women, with their naturally lower muscle mass get a lower PT requirement, that is not really favouritism.
