Gender Equality or Gender Inequality? Eleonora Bortolamei

I am really interested on the implications that may result from the use of the expression “Gender Equality” rather than “Gender Inequality”. Which one is better to use when we discuss about the gender gap in any field (politics, media industry, professional roles in general..) ?
Actually, I think that the question is more complex than it seems and, even if there’s not only one correct answer, we can discuss about in which situations we should better use the one or the other term. Sometimes, differences between men and women have to be protected in order to protect the role of women in many job positions or other practical aspects in social life; in other cases, women have the right to achieve gender equality and gain equal opportunities.
