Hobbes Equality of Man

Focussing mostly on chapter XIII: Hobbes talks about his idea of equality. He talks about how everyones bodies are the same and man is equal therefore there will always be conflict. "Nature hath made men so equal in the faculties of body and mind as that, though there be found one man sometimes manifestly stronger n body or of quicker mind than another, yet when all is reckoned together the difference between man and man is not so considerable..."(Hobbes, 74). We talked briefly in class about how this works. Just a reminder if someone is the same as you, finds the sme things necessary and strives the same way you do there will be a conflict of interest and a dispute over the resources desired by both parties. Where as if we were different we could recognize who holds the most power out of all of us and who "deserves" the sought after item. This can be seen now through the lense of gender how men have grown up with expectation of being the man and the provider for his future family. How we have to be the strong figure for others to be insired by. While women are raised to be gentle and fair. Seen more as a caretaker role instead of a leader role. While I don't believe this is as true now I do see the relation.
