The said quote was popularized by Thomas Jefferson in the United States Declaration of Independence.In addition, John Locke in his second treatise of government also argued that men are born free and equal.
Truly, all men are equal...Regardless of gender or socio-economic status in life, we are equal.We have the same fundamental rights and should be treated with fairness and respect.
However, this does not mean everybody has the same abilities, talents and circumstances in life.
But achieving true equality remains an ongoing struggle due to social inequalities.
In your case, what are your insights about the quotation?

All men are created equal because all men die in the end. No one makes it out alive.

It was true at the time, because things like discrimination laws didn't exist. It was true for those whom it applied, usually white men. Women weren't even seen as human and were considered property back then.
Now, nothing could be further from the truth. We have anti-discrimination laws and women's right. Things people often ignore, because victims don't fight back.
