I think that you are right, but what is the worse (illustrative numbers): - 70% of men being allowed to get 20$ and 30% being excluded from this opportunity and getting only 5$ - 100% of women being excluded from the opportunity to get 20$ and getting only 12$ Sure, the excluded women gets more than the excluded men, but it is also very unfair that men have 70% chance to "make it" while women have 0% chance to "make it". Not saying one is worse than the other (and it is illustrative numbers anyway), but just to illustrate that 1. in both cases, looking at only one metric is not enough, 2. at the end, the answer is not really "objective" or "mathematical", and two persons can reach different conclusions based on their values.
