He said if everyone was treated equal then people wouldn't want to be equal anymore and would find ways to make themselves stand out. I'm not saying dont treat people equal but looking at it that way I agree with Jencourtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00504411821516383708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732357272073520338.post-58662992773989618112012-12-03T13:47:14.650-08:002012-12-03T13:47:14.650-08:00I agree that you raise a really interesting questi...I agree that you raise a really interesting question here!! And I agree with Jen to an extent. But to be honest, she says that we would just find something else to oppress, based on height, hair or eye color, hand dominant, or weight. But who says that some people haven't already done that? Not to such a large extent, but to a degree there are already groups that are being oppressed because of their weight. Think about all the people who cannot go on airplanes because they cannot fit in the seats... I think that is slightly oppressing, no?NoelleRose8https://www.blogger.com/profile/01967262015148835804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732357272073520338.post-10581734083582662722012-12-01T12:38:08.114-08:002012-12-01T12:38:08.114-08:00That's an interesting question you raise after...That's an interesting question you raise after the second quote. To be honest, if minorities did not exist right now in the form of different races, sexual orientations, gender, gender identities, classes, religions, disabilities, etc... then what you'd be left with is a society of straight, white, American, able-bodied, male, property-owners. Without said minorities present, these people would most certainly find something else, and someone else to oppress. Perhaps it would then be based on height, hair or eye color, your dominant hand, or weight. Some of these qualities are already discriminated against in an intersectional way. But if much of the intersectionality did not exist, I'm sure that American culture would find new ones. Wouldn't want everyone being equal and equitable now, would we? Anywho, that's just what I think!Jen Albanesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16502459749272744187noreply@blogger.com
