Understanding this quote
The quote uses a sharp comparison to define equality as equal access to failure as well as success. If an incompetent woman can be appointed to an important position, women would face the same possibilities men already do, rather than having to prove exceptional competence. It points to unequal standards, not to incompetence as a virtue.
