"It's welcome to see women excelling in different fields, yet as we strive for equality, we also should be aware that males and females are different"
"There have always been two strands of feminist thinking around the subject of equality. One is that men and women, being equal, must at all times be treated equally. The other is that women and men are of equal value, but are different."
Women excel across diverse fields and their achievements merit welcome recognition. Equality efforts should balance identical treatment with acknowledgement that males and females can differ in attributes or needs. Feminist thought includes two strands: one demands identical treatment because of equal status, and the other affirms equal value while recognizing difference. These differing perspectives influence policy, workplace practices, and social expectations. Recognizing difference does not imply lesser worth; responses can pursue equal opportunity while adapting to distinct needs or strengths to achieve substantive fairness.
