Please backup your arguments, because from what I've seen that's completely false. In fact, only 2.8% of VC dollars go to women, and that's considered an improvement:

There's _complete_ bias against them and only in the last 2-3 years has that started to turn around, and are obviously still behind it. Yeah, anecdotally you've heard of a few cases of it -- because people try to draw extra attention, but look at statistics (like above), and it's _clear_ that is the exception. This is what I observed when raising my own capital (with a female co-founder) and many of my colleagues doing the same -- and men were often very biased against women.
She's _balancing_ the discrimination -- again, look at the statistics above. She'll hardly budge it -- and this is _after_ many female-only funds have been created to try to balance it in recent years. We need to over compensate for our complete and utter discrimination before talking about "equality" among men -- there is NO equality.
Also, that is _false_ that women can openly discriminate against men -- it might be true in certain areas, but many areas (such as housing, employment, etc.)
We've been doing better in board member seats (20%, up from 17%):
In the U.S., women hold about 20 percent of board seats at companies listed in the Russell 3000 stock index, up from 17 percent in 2018, according to the nonprofit 2020 Women on Boards.
But we're still hugely biased. Checkout other articles I listed to other response as well
