Sometimes, equality can come down to a mental state. Nobody can be equal if everybody thinks differently. Each and every perspective would always take something about a person into different importance. One person may really care about what shoes your wearing and one person might not even look at your shoes. Who ever has power will take thier values into account and not others. Also, Genders were created and not predetermined. People use Genders as a source of organzation. Technically, everybody is the same but phiscally they are different. Equality is and will never be a real thing. Nobody can be the same even if it means a little difference between somebodys heart beat. We created Equality as a goal... that humans can never reach.

I think the main reason equality is difficult is that there has to be someone to equalise and re-equalise continuously otherwise greed can defeat any state of equality. Sure giving to charity and not making presumptuous decisions about who to favour will help equality but very few people will favour creating equality over their own well being. I believe this is why no true communist nation has ever existed (as far as I am aware the stage where a leader is no longer required and everyone agrees to share has not yet been reached), there will always be people taking more than they deserve and then the people who do care about equality and do not take things for theirselves are left with less. unless there is a leader who is able to stop that from happening then the world resorts back into a free for all unequal mess, and for a leader to stop it they must have more power than others, as well as enforcers who will have different powers to those they enforce, and although corruption is avoidable and fair justice is a possibility, it still requires inequality.

I don't even know how to respond to that.

You don't know what gender is, so yeah, I won't try anymore.

This isn't everyday conversation, it's a discussion board where people are supposed to know what they're talking about. My mistake. I assumed a standard of knowledge beyond his capacity. I don't think the onus is on me to dumb down my points - it's up to him to know what he's talking about.

Unless someone has been following feminism/SJW business I doubt they would even realize that gender can refer to something other than biology.
Not everyone in this board is an expert, and they don't have to be. Just explain it to the guy.

It is your job to make it clear to him what you mean in your post. I agree with your arguments and your judgement of him but him misunderstanding you doesn't develop this discussion any further or prove anything about his actual arguments, illogical though some of them might be.
