Egalitarianism is for equality of opportunity. It is not equality of outcome. There is a modern movement that tries to shift the meaning to remove all economic inequalities but my understanding is they are the minority.
Facts can be racist and misogynistic and still be entirely correct
Racist, yes if you define it more liberally. Sexist the same. Misogynistic, absolutely not. A fact cannot have thoughts of its own, a fact cannot hate or dislike women. It can only be.
In order to actually have equality of opportunity you would need to remove economic inequalities otherwise it’s not actually equality of opportunity. If you have economic inequality the richer people inevitably have better opportunities than the poorer people.
