"Masculine republics give way to feminine democracies, and feminine democracies give way to tyrannies.” Aristotle
In like that signature line. Th edifferences can be found in two similar words..similar in sound, but polar opposites in meaning.
Generally speaking, many women lean toward "equality", while many men (real men) favor "equity".
Simple explanation... Equality= everyone gets an equal share, regardless of their input.. Equity= Each gets what he has earned..
Pure democracies cannot long endure, but while they turn to tyranny, they are about the worst form of government.
"The government is best, which governs the least." (John Locke or Thos. Jefferson..you choose)
