The issue currently is that women can choose whether to work or not - they can very often be supported by the state or a man instead. Those who do choose to work spend longer in education, retire earlier and work fewer hours than men. Men are still a net benefit to the state while women are a net cost.

Then you have degree inflation, the decrease in the value of labour, increased competition for jobs, increased house prices, and hiring and promotion biases against men, due to women preferring female candidates.

I think you're right in so far as equality as we understand it must mean women working to support their equal status, but that currently isn't happening and in fact is leading to inequalities.

As long as women have children, they will never work as much as men and will probably never pay for themselves. And bear in mind that virtually all developed countries are below replacement level in fertility rates. I'm beginning to wonder whether the current understanding of equality that we have - essentially of men and women being the same and doing the same things - is just, pragmatic or good for society as a whole. Men and women aren't the same and never will be.

Edit: The blog post actually provides a good example of some of the costs.

Lest you think I’m being hyperbolic, it’s a challenge I’ve faced hand in hand with my wife. She stays at home to raise our three kids and educate them.

Remember, she’s a double major in computer and electrical engineering with experience working in aerospace.

Is this a good use of resources? I don't mean raising children but rather giving such education and employment opportunities to someone who (more or less predictably) opts out of the workforce after 10 or 15 years. And she would likely have experienced positive discrimination both in her engineering education and engineering career - at the cost of men who needed such opportunities and who would have gone on to work all their lives.

"The issue currently is that women can choose whether to work or not"

Some countries have a labor or military draft for men, why not for women?

"Then you have degree inflation, the decrease in the value of labour, increased competition for jobs, increased house prices, and hiring and promotion biases against men, due to women preferring female candidates."

I am against the free market.

"As long as women have children, they will never work as much as men and will probably never pay for themselves."

Why not?

"And bear in mind that virtually all developed countries are below replacement level in fertility rates."

Yes, because women hate men and don't want to have children with them. Simple.

"Men and women aren't the same and never will be."

So men are slaves who are supposed to grind all their lives while women slack off? No thanks.

"at the cost of men who needed such opportunities and who would have gone on to work all their lives."

"Work all your life" is a curse, not a privilege. Men are slaves
