Oh, cut it out, both of you. How can the concept of equality make
any sense when comparing things so complex and so marvelously different
as men and women?

Now if you want to talk about rights, or income, for example, equality
has a meaning. But equations such as men<=women or men>=women say
much more about those who put them forth than they do about men or
women in general.

I question both you and them. What is *your* answer?
