Equality

our meandering conversation yesterday in EEA touched on the questions of equality, fairness, and justice. It occurs to me that feminists like Simone de Beauvoir have something important to say about that too.
"...inequality is cultivated and imposed. We can decide not to do that. Why don't we, then?
Why? I suspect it's because we're wedded to some bad metaphors, or maybe just a bad interpretation of some neutral ones. We were talking about this yesterday in Environmental Ethics, where most of us are tree-huggers and bridge-builders of a sort."
