Expecting people to play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards only works when those rules and standards are not intrinsically biased. Against people of darker skin, women, Jews, Roma, the disabled, the non-neuronormative, those with mental illnesses, transgender and non-binary gender people, non-heterosexual people, poor people, and diaspora peoples who do not assimilate into the dominant culture where they reside.

I would like everyone to be able to play by a (very small) set of same rules, and be judged by the same standards. But too much of the system already in place is oppressive and inherently discriminatory to be those rules and standards. Nor do I know of any set of rules and standards that wouldn't be. So, fuck that noise.

I just wanted to say this is an awesome refute of that quote.

Thank you! The quote was bothering me since I saw it earlier, and I walked away so I would not say something reactionary at first glance. And it stuck with me, so. *waves hand at above response* That happened.

This. Not everyone gets to play by the same rules, so the premise of the quote fails.

"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread." --Anatole France
