Sexual inequality is a permanent fact: There is nothing that can be done to make the sexes equal. Every attempt at forcing equal outcomes has only made things worse

Inequality is not the same as unfairness. For example, small children are not the equals of adults. There is no unfairness in that. On the contrary, try to imagine the disaster that would ensue if three-year-old children were expected to earn their own living.

True, we are all equal in many respects, particularly in regard to our God-given rights (which are different from the contrived rights invented by the social left). But there are also many inherent inequalities among people — so many as to make it obvious that we cannot reasonably hope for equal outcomes. This is patently true of the sexes. It always has been, and despite the cruelest efforts of the left, it always will be.

There is nothing that can be done to make the sexes equal. Indeed, attempts to do so have actually made matters worse for both sexes, especially for women.

Let's be clear. This commentary is not a set-up for a sexist manifesto. Far from it, it is a call for true fairness — fairness to both sexes, fairness that provides for the greatest fulfillment of each individual life.

Again, it is necessary to depart from the myth that the sexes are equal. Yes, there is considerable overlap in our abilities, in our emotions, and in our intellects. There are also, however, many good and natural differences.

Most of these differences used to be recognized, both in the general culture and in law. That the distinctions have considerably faded was largely brought about by technology, which in turn was reflected in cultural norms, much of which is for the good. Unfortunately, the social left seized upon the changes to enact, into both law and culture, the absurd ideology that sexual differences are at best irrelevant and at worst an injustice to women.

One of my favorite quote on equality is from Tocqueville...

“There is, in fact, a manly and lawful passion for equality which excites men to wish all to be powerful and honored. This passion tends to elevate the humble to the rank of the great; but there exists also in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to attempt to lower the powerful to their own level, and reduces men to prefer equality in slavery to inequality with freedom.”
— Alexis de Tocqueville

I find it fascinating that even back in Aristotle’s time (and I imagine also before that) “equality” was a societal issue.

That means Marxism (equality mongers) has been around much longer than Marx.

Which convinces me that this “depraved taste for equality” has a strong genetic component.

There are currently no females playing in the NFL. NBA. NHA. Major league baseball. Nor have there ever been.

There was a recent outcry that there weren’t enough black head coaches in the NFL. Not a peep about there not being enough female head coaches. Or female players.

Tonto Goldstein, whose friends call him Bubba, was unavailable for comment.

He created them male and female, and blessed them and called them Mankind in the day they were created.
In whose hand is the life of every living thing, And the breath of all mankind?

I refer to God’s creation of “mankind” because of weak voices gaining strength asserting that man wrote the Bible for the man without including women in God’s blessing.

Christian men and women enjoy equity, not equality. God didn’t create Eve to do what Adam could do, God created Eve to do what Adam couldn’t do. Man is in charge but not above the woman.

Please indulge me a bit further. Do these tenets appear intended to disparage or assign superiority?

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.

For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
