Answer me two questions:

The (normative) quest to overcome the differences presupposes the (descriptive) differences being there.

it's all over sep. either way, when did it start.

Both. It's a philosophy that is pushed by political agenda.

I don't support it, what do you mean by a ''fact''?

>it's all over sep
Because it's written in the English language by people obeying the commandments of the prescriptivists.

>when did it start
Third wave femnism i.e. very late 80s. In case you didn't notice there are several pages in the SEP with "feminist" or "feminism" in their titles.

>In a 1989 article from the Los Angeles Times, for instance, writer Dan Sullivan notes, "What's wrong with reinventing the wheel? Every artist has to do so in her search for the medium that will best express her angle of vision." Alice Walker writes in 1991, "A person's work is her only signature."

well ok, I'll keep it in mind if I ever post again.

Anyway I used the expression "the left" generically and for ease of communication, because surely you understood who I was referring to. this said what I mean is you will never hear a socialist, a communist, or a liberal say anything other than everybody is equal and that sexism and racism are straight out falsehoods to be eradicated. so I stand by my statement about those who could be ascribed as being part of "the left" being completely convinced (at least in appearance) that everyone is equal not only in front of the law.

A simple wikipedia search could have answered this for you

As a social liberal I will tell you that I firmly believe that sexism and racism are unavoidable but should be disregarded avoided as much as possible in law and economic situations. There are factual differences between people in race and sex, but they should be treated as equal in society.

so basically it is a belief not a fact.

fact means and objective truth

wikipedia could not have answered my second question, which anyway basically nobody answered here neither, since every answer here says that it is a belief despite my expressly requesting an answer from someone who supports it as a fact

thanks, wasnt sure if it was just straight up feminism. it only bugs me sometimes when it would be more appropriate for the writer to use a gender neutral pronoun and so are going out of their way

>egalitarianism (i.e. the refusal of sexism and racism)
.., Classes, castes, skills, merit, biology..,
