Do you agree that we were deceived as children and that the deception creates logical quandaries we currently suffer from?

The problem we wrestle with whether the topic is women in combat, racial or gender quotas is not a gender or racial one. The problem is that people get hung up on the fact that we were lied to as children. We all cannot grow up to be Arnold Swartzenager, Michael Jordan, Elton John, Margaret Thatcher, Florence Nightingale, Mahatma Gandhi or name your famous successful person. We can not all do what we desire and want. I cannot will myself tall or heavy enough to be a Pro basketball or football player. I cannot will myself to be a genius of the likes of Stephen Hawkins. It's not about will or desire and my inability to reach those goals do not reveal societal prejudice but simply genetic realities. We need to accept that we ARE all inequality different and amazing: we are not the same so it is ignorant to assume we can achieve anything. Equality once again is the opportunity to have the chance to both succeed at something and fail. No matter how badly I want to be a Mother my biological and genetic makeup does not permit it. We must accept and embrace our inherent differences and maintain common sense. Standards of excellence and professional performance should be race, gender, age, religion and sexual orientation blind.
