Are Women's Souls Feminine?

It is in the concept of the soul that Jefferson meanth that "all men are created equal" - that is, all men (in this context "people") are, in their context as individual beings, euql in the eyes of God. Jefferson's (and the other Founders') essential point is that citizens (now not constrained by societal mores with regard to race or sex) should be subject to equal treatment by the state.

For that matter, the Jeffersonian ideal did not allow the state to make distinctions about the citizenry on the basis of religion, creed, or any belief system, any accident of birth (the concept of nobility being completely rejected) or station (including nobility but also extended to property ownership).

It expressly did not condone governmental differentiation to determine OUTCOMES, to distribute property more "equally", or to pretend that individuals had the same abilities or potentialities. The right to "pursue property" (a concept coming from John Locke) without governmental interference was EXPLICIT in the Jeffersonian context.

Also explicit was the fact that the constraint upon how individuals are treated was placed SOLELY upon the state, not EVER upon the actions of free individuals in the society.

Taken to its logical conclusion, the proper application of the Jeffersonian ideal completely repudiates anti-discrimination laws placed upon anyone but the state itself. Do you really wish to go there?
