This is the most patronizing thing I've read in a while. Women don't magically have some (ableist) disadvantage that prevents them from participating.

The thing that keeps them from participating is men bullying them and forcing them out.

You're reading way too much into my analogy. The point is just that lifting up someone who's been pushed down does not also require you to lift up someone who's doing just fine in order to be "fair." This applies whether the disadvantage is due to outside bullying (as in the case of feminism and affirmative action) or an actual disability (it's not "unfair" to make special allowances for an autistic office worker, for example).
