Yes, of course they are equal, in every way you can think of, except for all the ways they are exact opposites.
Is an apple equal to an orange? Is an apple equal to another apple? Is one half of an apple equal to the other half?
I recommend spending your time on other, more important questions, like "Does a submarine swim?"
Or, "How is a traditional sports team like a fish without a bicycle?"

PS: The swimming submarine is part of a non-trivial discussion...
