Do you believe equality is beneficial or detrimental to society?

Good, but very ambiguous question, without the context

Hmm. I voted equality is beneficial, but there are some major differences between men and women (besides the obvious physical differences, refering more to less obvious [or are they ] psychological and subtle physical differences). For this reason, I may have voted differently given more context.

In what context and how do you define equality?

Is providing all kinds financial aid to the minority a form of equality? What about employment? Every application I've seen has a check box for minority, a clear sign that a qualified minority will beat you out for that job even if your qualifications are better.

If it's related to gender how is it defined? In my field and many others women have the advantage because of equality since they are the minority.

I don't get the question, might get more of what you're looking for if you were more specific.

This is the fun part. I left it open because I mean all equality. Gender, race, religion, disability, sexuality, social status, etc. All of it. If someone said we are tossing out all equality; we are removing the word from the dictionary (so to speak) would you be for this decision or against it? Do you think all these different types of equality benefit our society or does it create more problems?
