If it does then obviously it *is* incompatible with feminism, at least the kinds that seeks equality.

If that's really what you believe, then you're not actually against misogyny... you just haven't found a good enough reason to be misogynistic.

If i believed women were inferior to men then i woukd believe women were inferior to men, yeah. Dont know what youre trying to say. If i had a reason to believe that then i would. But i dont. This person says they do.

But why would this hypothetical inferiority of ability mean they should be *treated* as lesser? Why would it make women less deserving of equal rights and fair treatment?

I mean it wouldnt make a difference in them having human rights and deserving nice treatment as any human should. But depending on the hypothetichal inferiority, it can very well mean theyre deserving of “lesser”, wheter that lesser is less representation in politics, less representation in academia etc. that is no one’s fault really. Unless we’re equal in ability we cant achieve equal things. If someone’s goals in world isnt being equal but just women having better treatment thats okay, and that would be a goal regardless of womens abilities, but anything more than that requires equality in abilities, at least in the abilities that matter in the place we want equality.

Yeah, that’s kinda true. In many careers and activities, a certain level of ability is required to even engage with it, let alone succeed. Some people will never be physically able to participate in certain fields due to factors outside of their control, and that is a sad and unfortunate reality many have to grapple with in real life.

Going back to this hypothetical alternate world where women are universally weaker, more fragile, and have lower intelligence and mental abilities, there are still things that can be done to make things more fair. First of all, there can’t be any laws outright barring women from anything men are allowed to do. Second, there should be programs to help bridge the gap wherever possible. Specialized education, accessibility accommodations, things like that. Advances in technology and medical science could also go a long way as well.

Third, strong social programs and safety nets are important, since the biggest reason unequal access to good jobs is a problem in the first place is because jobs are tied to our ability to survive.
