How can I fix this sentance?

Question

This would mean man or woman, black or white, gay or straight, and young or old would all be treated the same.

after rereading it i realized that all the words dont stand on their own comfortably. how could i fix this (unless it is ok)

Answer 1

The problem is not necessarily in the wording, but in the conjunctions you chose to use. For example, you said "man OR woman, black Or white, gay OR straight, AND young OR old..."
Also you used the word ALL, meaning everyone that you mentioned. The word all doesn't necessarily work when you use or. Or is used to present an option or choice with exclusion, whereas all and and are used inclusively.
Try this: "This would mean that man and woman, blacks and whites, homosexuals and heterosexuals, and the young and elderly would be treated the same, regardless."

I sure hope this helps you out.

Answer 2

So whether you're a man or a woman, gay or straight, black or white, or young versus old, all would be treated the same.

Answer 3

This would mean that all people--man or woman, black or white, gay or straight, young or old--would be treated the same.

Answer 4

you could do this: This would mean that whether you were a man or woman, black or white, gay or straight, young or old, you would be treated the same as everyone else.
i think it might be better if you didn't have so many words in there, though

Answer 5

"All people, whether male, female, black, white, gay , straight, young or old would be treated the same."

The "This would mean" isn't necessary, and takes away from the strength of the sentence.

I would look for a stronger term than "the same". Not exactly sure what it would be because I don't know the context in which you are using this sentence.

Best of luck.
