Selective Equality

When people want equality in situations where they've historically been disadvantaged, but want tradition in situations where they've historically been advantaged.
Wanting equal pay but expecting the guy to always pay is selective equality.

When a silly female can wake up a black eye after a night of partying and her silly friends can laugh about it instead of try to have someone killed or imprisoned over it, there will be equality, because mlaes will become as powerful as females if that ever happens. Until females begin to take their lives as often as males, go to jail for the same amount of time as males for the same crimes, and authority figures no longer take it easy on them or give them breaks (they get as authoritative with females as they do males) for things ranging from traffic tickets to everything else, (and when as many unarmed females are being shot by the police as unarmed males) females will no longer be the most powerful people, everyone will be equally powerful. When more female kids are getting ass whoopings from their parents, as many as males, then there will be equality.
The people that whine the most about equality (not making as much money for the same job) usually don't appreciate how fortunate they really are, because their lens is too narrow to see beyond their own gripes.

Not All Pi’s Are Created Equal.

When the number pi looks so different when she dresses up in various typefaces or fonts (regular, italic, bold, bold-italic)—her facial expression or mood changes in different typographical settings.
Unlike in Helvetica or Times New Roman, the number pi looks quasi-unrecognizable in Avenir Next, be it in regular, italic, or bold. They’re not being critical when they commented that not all pi’s are created equal.

Equality

Glorified communism.

Just think about it for a minute, equality on paper sounds like the (almost) perfect solution to most of society’s problems.
But in practice… it made more problems.
Same thing happened with communism, they tried it twice and failed. “Third time the charm”? Yeah.. apparently so, they just needed to rebrand it so people wouldn’t be so suspicious of it.

A lot of people think fairness and equality are practically the same thing. Trust me, THEY ARE NOT. They sound the same yes, but when you look at the fine print, there are pretty big differences between the two.
Equality: Let’s say you’re in elementary school and it’s about to be recess. The trouble maker (TM), of the class does something that they weren’t supposed to do and now everyone is in trouble, even though the teacher witnessed the kid causing trouble. The teacher doesn’t care and now every body has to stay inside while the other classes go outside to play.
One person got in trouble? Now EVERYONE is in trouble.

Fairness: We’ll use the same example as before, except this time the TM got what he deserves, the teacher only punishers him and everyone else gets to go outside with all their other friends, from the other classes.
1 person person gets in trouble, only THEY get punished.

Here’s another example: imagine you have two crates of apples in front of you with each crate being able to hold 20 apples, and there’s 20 left to the side. Crate #1 currently has 15 apples while crate #2 has 15.
Equality would be to put 10 apples in each crate. But that doesn’t work since one crate is now over capacity and has too many, while the other doesn’t have enough.

Fairness on the other hand would give 5 to crate #1 and 15 to crate #2, now both crates are evenly filled.

Equality focuses on the “giving” aspect making sure everyone is being treated the same, but this lacks context and reasoning. While fairness is more on the “value” side, seeing every person needing their own needs.
One is constantly overlooked, and one is always misused, you try figuring out which is which.

Equalizer

A person who will resort to violence and will absolutely make sure he wins the deadly fight, no matter the cost and consequences.
