I don't think equality is based on the outcome and relates more to people not been given a chance to prove themselves based on a perceived outcome.
I work in science which is an industry which has a heavy gender bias and I have experienced gender discrimination in the work place as have many of my colleagues. We get stereotyped on a daily basis as not being able cope with the demands of critical research because our minds are clearly filled with shoes, cats and babies. I notice in your examples of great people there wasn't one female name brought up - What about the great work of Marie Curie, Rosalind Franklin, Dorothy Hodgkin??
