Why are men and women equal in the use of gold and silver, given that it is permissible for a woman to adorn herself with gold and silver?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Adornment was made permissible for women only because of the need for adornment for their husbands. Anything beyond that falls under the principle of equality for everyone. And what is struck by the difference is not permissible if it is slight.

Answer : This is a point where one might ask: How do you say that men and women are equal in the sky, or that gold and silver are the same, when it is permissible for a woman to adorn herself with gold and silver, but not for a man? The distinction mentioned is that a woman needs to adorn herself for her husband.
So is one brought up in ornaments while being during conflict unevident [attributed to Allah]?أَوَمَن يُنَشَّأُ فِي الْحِلْيَةِ وَهُوَ فِي الْخِصَامِ غَيْرُ مُبِينٍ
[Az-Zukhruf 43:18]
That is, like someone who is not in that situation, who is the one?
