whether something is warranted or not is a matter of subjective opinion. There are many, many female titled players who want the titles to be done away with.
It's a 100% subjective opinion, no one, not even kasparov, has any expertise in it.
Thanks for pointing out your underlying assumptions. Not even Kasparov...lol.

The above is not an opinion, it's an example of expertise (16 years of it) in creating and running events for women. Your OP is an opinion...one that isn't going anywhere. Do away with women's events *and* U1800 amateur events *and* the Junior WC? Are you trying to stick a fork in chess?
It's becoming clear you have some personal stake in seeing male IMs win more prizes. Perhaps a certain male IM? Trainer, maybe? Relative? You've mentioned this "problem" you've created unilaterally so many times now...
Yes not even kasparov. If susan polgar believes that atleast 30% of players should be females then that does not carry more weight than a person who believes that 50% of players should be females or a person who believes that it should be a free market.
I have already told you, i don't worship the polgar sisters so sending me to their website is not really a logical reply. Creating events for and training women is really not anything more noble than running events for and training men. Susan polgar doesn't even "NEED" to run events for women, women can already participate in tons of open tournaments and their women only tournaments, the foundation is not needed.
The basic premise of your argument is flawed in itself as it tries to force a particular % of women in the chess population. Women have free will, if they don't like playing chess then they don't like playing chess, trying to force chess onto women is not really very helpful.
Tbh it doesn't make a lot of sense to me to have separate sections. But if you think about at the higher level most of the times we would have a men's winner with most of the ladies being knocked out by round 3 or 4 because of the competiveness(as you can see it is a very serious tournament and a very tough one indeed since alot of the super gms are out)
Well if most of the ladies are knocked out then they need to get good. Why do we need to make a separate section for them to enable them to win prizes? what about the men who get knocked out? why not make a separate section for them too then?
Point is, a person should be judged based on his skills, we should not try to force certain results like we are doing now. If female leagues continue then no woman would ever aspire to be number one in the true sense, it is extremely harmful to female chess on a whole
