Are men and women equal? I dont think so; not all men are equal, and not all women are equal, so to say men and women are equal can make no sense and is PC dishonesty.
All people are different, and there are so many different areas of life where we can excel or fail or be average - so whilst I excel at foreign languages I am hopeless with anything mechanical for instance. I would expect to be considered superior to someone who has no foreign language ability but to be inferior to some capable with mechanics - but in those respective fields only.
Add in a million and one other human activities where each of us, if scored at them, would demonstrate comparative superiority or inferiority next to others, and what I believe we would find if we were to total up all the scores for each person for all activities, would be a hierarchy of overall, total ability which distinguished according to ability and performance, rather than gender or any other feature of the sampled people. Such a hierarchy would no doubt feature the ubiquitous bell curve in graphic representation - few at the lower end of scores, rising to a peak of normal ability and with few at the upper end.
However, that is not to say we should all not be treated equitably, regardless of who we are and what we might score.
