The masculine fight for equality with women has a long and arduous history.
Red herring. Women have to fight for equality a lot more than men do, sadly. But I will appreciate fights for equality no matter where they come. If there are 9 issues that affect women and 1 issue that affects men, I'll appreciate those 9 issues for women and that 1 issue for men, or whatever proportion it might be. I don't have to pick between issues of one gender or another, and I'm not sure why someone would want to or what they would have to gain from that.
In a discussion of discrimination, dismissal of male discrimination is a red herring?!
Must be I don't know what that particular idiom means anymore.
"To me , it just looks like another way of encouraging more females to play , like female only events"
Well, the encouraging is good; not so much the side effects, e.g., the creation of a situation where a woman has better chances to win money (more tournaments available for her) by being a woman, as if that was important. Sure if you only look at the women this can only be good; but turning one's head to any of the bad consequences is not a convincing way to evaluate something for obvious reasons.
