In a world where women are pushing for gender equality, why on earth should women be treated differently? It goes both ways - if women get too many leg ups just because they feel they are disadvantaged because of their sex, before u know it men are the disadvantaged and that would be just wrong. Equality is equality.

  Women do have equality.
  

Answer 2

Have the cake and eat it too? Not if you want to be taken seriously. I've met a few people of the other gender who, as it turned out, just wanted to pose glamerously and wear the uniform of a serious profession... But not put in the years of hard work. A few, not all of them, but they were a loud few.

Answer 4

Women can run a business as good as a man and as far as I’m concerned do not have any advantages nobody else can have.

Answer 5

I thought we were created under the idea of all created equally under the eyes of the law? Shouldn't that be what we're trying to achieve?

  Yeah if we got to a point where all groups had equal opportunities (without policy interventions) that would be ideal. Unfortunately we’re not there yet, and won’t get there unless we level the playing field to overcome institutional barriers such as societal sexism
  

Answer 6

Advantages? No. Own businesses? Yes. Equal opportunity.

Answer 7

As long as its white males they're advantaged over I'm ok with it.

Answer 8

Women are capable of running a business too. Why should gender play a part?

  I agree, but the question is about whether or not the woman-owned businesses are getting special treatment just because they're owned by women.
  

Answer 9

egalitarianism gives everyone an equal chance, giving advantages to anyone would be ridiculous

Answer 10

As a female business owner, I approve of all the advantages afforded to me. They are quite helpful.
