Yeah exactly, you can ensure equal opportunity between the genders, that's a good thing. But you cannot enforce equal out come - that is a bad thing.
The trouble is we had equal opportunity since the 70's but the gaps have remained. The feminists main argument being that its caused by institutional sexism / patriarchy, so we must force employers to ensure they have gender parity (at the top of big corperations, anyway - feminist don't seem to care about gender parity in sewage maintenance, mining, and other mucky and dangerous jobs)..

The feminists are not 100% wrong though, as sexism does exists and may well theoretically account for some of it, but their are many, many other bigger factors (differences between men and women) that they simply refuse to even entertain as it goes against their ideology / narrative.
Though some feminists do seem to acknowledge that men tend to be more assertive in asking for a pay rise.

They have already tried re-socializing girls and boys in Sweden to make an equal society. It didn't work there either.
All that really happened is that their birth rates plummeted.
