Consider this for a moment; a 5 month pregnant woman and a man both have the same credentials for a particular job, but the man gets it purely because he's a man and therefore not pregnant. This is the most logical business decision, what company would go through having to pay maternity leave to a woman that's not contributing a damn thing to the company for the next year? This is not the same as racism or homophobia because the colour of a person's skin does not affect on their performance whereas a pregnant woman is obviously affected psychologically, biologically and then eventually economically as well.
Another example; a firm wants to hire a security guard so they deliberately hire a man instead of a woman. I don't see how women should expect equality here.
There are countless examples but I'll end up with a controversial one. There was a spat between a male tennis player Giles Simon and a female tennis player Serena Williams with regards to the prize money given to the male tennis winner and the female tennis winner.
Men play far more than women and also pull in a higher television ratings, it makes sense for them to be paid more on average. But the ultra-feminists aren't happy with the facts so they pushed and pushed for equal pay. But equal pay for what? It doesn't make any financial sense.
In case I'm accused of sexism; women should in my opinion be able to discriminate against men freely in certain industries such as beauty, child education, fashion etc. Bottom line is; men and women aren't the same thing so why should "equal opportunities" exist? They aren't equal.
