Just for curiosity sake, how would she say they are more equivalent than equal?

When it comes to equality in the workplace there are many areas that can be changing at different paces. Opportunities may be equal, while respect is not at all, and salaries could be coming closer to parity though still lacking. "Equality" is just to broad a term for any reasonable analysis in my mind. There is also the disparity between business policies and actual practices. Very few companies truly reflect their official corporate image when you get down to the rank and file employees.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
