Yes, I agree with that, the goal is equality, not reversing whatever situation you are trying to fix so that the currently disadvantaged group is ahead (race, gender, etc)... but determining when things are equal is not easy. Even so though, we have to try... having a society where the majority of the population (all people who are not males of the ruling group -- in our case, white rich men.) are considered lesser beings and not suited for roles of any importance is wrong and has to change... it has some over this last century, but certainly not to the point of equality.
