That's a pretty flawed way of describing equality, it's almost like the original image was made in bad faith
Equality: the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, or opportunities.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egalitarianism
That’s the way some people think of equality, and contrasted with what equity looks like, it demonstrates the flaw in that line of thinking.
Also, there is a version of this image where the fence is completely removed and the subtitle is “justice” or something like that, which is also a good contrast to both equality and equity.
