Engendering Inequality
5th November 2021
The Gender Plan asserts that America has failed to deliver on its promise of equality to all. Using women as a pretext to address standard progressive priorities, the plan deplores the plight of marginalized minorities, who require a “shift in social and cultural norms,” not to mention universal health care, more immigration, more benefits for illegal immigrants, cashless bail, higher retirement benefits, a solution to the climate crisis, and institutionalizing the race-based practices of diversity, equity and inclusion throughout government.
The plan willfully confuses the core American principle of equality of opportunity with the goal of “equity, which is fundamentally discriminatory. Even in this encyclical about women, the Administration couldn’t advance a plan that was about women as women. Instead, the plan focuses only on women who are “of color, LGBTQI+ people, people with disabilities, and all those whose lives are affected by persistent poverty and inequality.” The plan promises that gender equity and equality are at the forefront of America’s foreign policy.
