>But we still need to factor in X and Y sometimes because there will always be areas where that X or Y advantage will cause disparity.

But why do we care about gender anymore than disparities that are the result of different X and Y when the population is divided by f. Why is f = gender treated differently than f = height, eye color, parental income, weight, amount of time spent playing games per week > 10, number of veggies grown in the garden last year < 20, or any other metric we can come up with?

10% of people have gene ABC123, then 10% of every group must be made up of people with that gene? Only madness lies down that path.
