Feminazis think equality equals men worshipping women and abiding their every command; submitting to every beck and call. That has come a long way from Lincoln's definition of equality - liberty and justice for all.
In spite of the large difference between the two meanings, equality is something we still haven't been able to achieve. Otherwise everyone would have the same wage, the same house and the same rights. But fact is that our capitalist society sees these things as bad, communist ideals which have the potential to crumble society.
Moreover, would it be true justice to give two people the same wage for different jobs? A lack of motivation is a bad consequence of these ideals, which in turn forces those in power to abuse their power to get work done. Not that it doesn't happen anyway, just that it happens at a smaller scale when the workers are given more money too.
My point is, equality itself is an unachievable ideal. We, as humans, are not capable of achieving equality mainly because we don't want to. We are too materialistic, too envious to ever fully embrace equality.
