Your default assumption, that subservience to other persons edicts (laws which remove self determination ) is also the thing which makes you "equal" is a logical impossibility.
You would be using words correctly, if you called what you are describing as "equal revokable privileges" under a forcible hierarchy , rather than equal rights.
Actual equal rights, means the right to self determine, which of course if you must follow an edict, imposed under threat of force, you can't possibly be talking about equality.
See schuylaar, words have meaning and when they are intentionally manipulated they can easily fool those who consistently hold two opposing beliefs at once.
