I treat all people as equals...
The problem is that the PC-brigade don't. If you're gay, ethnic, disabled, illegal immigrant, non-christian, female or a selection of the above, you are somehow "special". You can't be chastised for your actions, ever hear the word "no", or not get what you want because that is obviously a conspiracy.

Equality means letting everyone be given the right to be an incompetent asshole and for everyone else to have the right to berate them for it, basically. If you have a man working in your office who is crap at his job, the boss would call him a twat, eventually he'd get a disciplinary and maybe get fired. If it was a woman, or anyone vaguely ticking the "diversity" box, then no-one would say a word as the whole place went to shit for fear of being hit with a tribunal...it's insane, really - if you just treat everyone like a human being, you end up being treated like you're Bernard Manning.

Although my mother-in-law could stand to lose a few pounds, come to think of it...
