i've been in love with idea of equite for quite some time

equity, not equality

equality could be summed up as Jorge and Keshawna both get one egg. now in this reality, an egg is not just an egg, it is a non-egg, but the non-egg represents government given resources. Jorge is a rich male, he is in upper management. Kewshana is a single mother, and a middle class female, and has reached the glass ceiling at her company. Keshawna needs more eggs because she does not make enough cash to survive yet, she gets the same amount of eggs as jorge because its "fair"

now, lets have the same situations
but, with equity
Jorge still gets one egg, and he is still doing well, while Keshawna gets an amount of eggs she needs. Nowhere is Jorge stiffed, or somehow being taken advantage of because Keshawna needs those eggs... Keshawna was basically given what she needs because of her situation. In this case, Keshawna got more than Jorge.

some may argue with me, but don't you think we should look beyond "getting the same" and look forward to "getting what you need?"
its not a new, idea, just one that likes to get ignored...
