the purpose of trying to 'enforce' equality is to try to ensure that people do not discriminate on account of sex, race, age etc etc . . . . . . its a pretty reasonable stance to take . . . equal under the law (from President to down-and-out) . .and equal opportunities for all.

As we all know, the reality is very different . . . . . . we all prioritise, strating with our family, our faith, our nationhood etc etc . . . and just look at any job interview situation . . you are judged on your intelligence, ability, cleanliness, speech pattern, attractiveness etc etc . . but our inherent human failing in this area is no reason to abandon our attempts to strive to treat all people equally . . . . there would be no middle east problem for one thing!
