Even women and children and those with no aptitude for speculation can attain to a complete religion, for all men are on an equal footing as far as knowledge derived from the senses is concerned. Praised be God who in his wisdom ordered things thus.

ומי שיהיה מן הנשים או הנערים ומי שלא ידע לעיין תהיה דתו שלמה לו ומגיע אליה, כי כל בני אדם שוים במדעים החושיים, ישתבח החכם המנהיג

Another quote about Equality

What I mean by Socialism is a condition of society in which there should be neither rich nor poor, neither master nor master's man, neither idle nor overworked, neither brain-sick brain workers nor heart-sick hand workers, in a word, in which all men would be living in equality of condition, and would manage their affairs unwastefully, and with the full consciousness that harm to one would mean harm to all-the realization at last of the meaning of the word commonwealth.
