Talk:Equalism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Equalism involves more than just gender issues. ie racial equalist movements/people are generally much more hesitant about and opposed to affirmative action. so, no. --141.140.127.188 05:01, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Alleged"
I changed the following quote from the article
- Equalists often differ with mainstream leftists in condemning alleged discriminatory elements of affirmative action (or positive discrimination) as well as elements of substantial equality aiming at equality of outcome.
by removing the word "alleged". Affirmative action is, by definition, discrimination. Also, this use of "alleged" may fall afoul of WP:WEASEL. CRGreathouse (t | c) 04:28, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] God damn it...
I invented the term equalism to refer to religious, sexual, gender, and racial equality about two years ago and here I see it without myself being mentioned. I'm going to sue wikipedia for plagarism until your group stops acting like a bunch of sophist despots, people believing they can do whatever they want regardless of the consequences or believing there are consequences.
It is a damn shame too... because I invented that term two years ago as explicitely defined as genderal equalism to replace feminism and masculinism as the "defined" campaigns of true gender equality between pro-women and pro-men groups, when the terms specifically refers to just pro-men or pro-women.
Equalism in its own nature is true or near absolute equality between any particular group of people of difference. That is the Definition that I made for that word and I'm still working on the book. So thanks for ruining my career, plagarists.
And you know what, I'm not going to even seek to change what is written down, because I know you sophists will just change it back and then suspend my account indefinitely. That is the unjust that comes from this fake-encyclopedia. What gives the moderators the credibility or the right to do what they do on something that is suppose to be completely factual? How can you have facts when it is people with the guns that dictate the facts?
There are two manners involved that could alter my view on this intellectual blunder; you either change the word Equalism to Equality on what you are refering to Equalism by or you mention my name, with my upcoming book, and my definition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Antenode2 (talk • contribs) 15:27, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Equalism" and egalitarianism
I propose the contents of this article be merged with egalitarianism, desegregation, social equality, and gender egalitarianism (a former redirect to zygarchy which I reverted back to the article version). There are no references for the use of this term as an umbrella term for gender, social, or racial equality, and it just sounds like a synonym for egalitarianism. That's the only way I interpret the term, and if this is not that, please provide references. Comments or thoughts? --User:Iambus (speak | proposal) 05:11, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Strong recommend to redirect to Egalitarianism
- Zygarchy is now under Afd. Gender equality is by far the most notable use of this subject; all redirects for gender equality have been repointed there.
- Google hits: "Equality" =37,600,000; "egalitarian"=2,500,000 "egalitarianism"=582,000
- Google books has a range of meanings, mostly POV or OR depending on author, few clearly agree:
- No references since August 2007. Redirect should happen within the week. -Yamara ✉ 07:57, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Found a single narrow reference which makes "equalist" a subset of "feminist" - But other sources in Google Books wildly disagree with each other. WP:OR stands. -Yamara ✉ 08:08, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Just spent all night hunting down all the articles where "Equalism" piped traffic from "Gender equality" wikilinks. Also directed wikilinks to Equality where appropriate. After paring down non-notable and repetitive drek, there's not much "there" there to this article. --Yamara ✉ 10:36, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- ...And I have been talking to a dead sockpuppet here. redirecting on my own recognizance. --Yamara ✉ 10:51, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
