Objective, natural equality does not exist. It cannot exist. That would require identicality.
Everyone would have exactly the same color and texture of skin -- the same number of skin cells, pores, hair follicles. The exact came hair color, the same number of strands, the same amount of straightness or curliness. Same height, weight, same muscle strength (or weakness). The same mental capacity. The same level of immunity, the same level of susceptibility. Same genes and chromosomes, same organs. That means everyone would be either male or female, because male AND female would mean differences and that is unequal.
Objective, natural equality is impossible. And that is a wonderful thing... Because equality/identicality is horrifying. Everyone else is exactly like you... You are exactly like everyone else -- because you MUST be. You can't be anything else.
Inequality is freedom. It is being different. It is being you -- unique. And we are all free and unique because of our inequality -- our un-identicality.
Isn't it ironic that the people who carp on equality also carp on diversity? But diversity is what makes equality impossible. And equality (if it could exist, which it can't) would make diversity impossible.
Then there is equality under law ... but that is a totally different subject.
