Egalitarian commitments have often been thought compatible with practices that are later identified as inegalitarian. Thus, a fundamental task of egalitarianism is to make inequality visible. Making inequality visible requires including marginalized people, questioning what equality requires, and naming inequality. At the same time, egalitarianism is a movement for change: egalitarians want to make things more equal. When egalitarians seek change at the institutional level, the two egalitarian tasks are complementary: making inequality visible is part of campaigning to make things better. However, at the level of social norms there is a dilemma because making inequality visible can make things worse. Making inequality visible can reinforce unequal norms and fail to address intersectionality. The case of gendered pronouns illustrates this dilemma.

让不平等现象变得可见而不使其变得更糟

人们常常认为平等主义的承诺与后来被认为是不平等的做法是兼容的。因此，平均主义的一个基本任务就是让不平等变得可见。让不平等变得显而易见需要包括边缘化人群，质疑平等需要什么，并指出不平等。与此同时，平等主义是一场变革运动：平等主义者希望让事情变得更加平等。当平等主义者寻求制度层面的变革时，平等主义者的两项任务是相辅相成的：让不平等变得显而易见是让事情变得更好的运动的一部分。然而，在社会规范层面存在一个困境，因为让不平等变得显而易见可能会让事情变得更糟。让不平等变得显而易见可能会强化不平等规范，并且无法解决交叉性问题。性别代词的例子说明了这种困境。
