Let's apply your forward-looking perspective to entrepreneurship and gender today. Gender roles have been shaped by society and biology, but the business world is redefining them. Women are transforming business, not simply entering it. Modern corporate leadership requires resilience, innovation, and empathy

Support initiatives for women entrepreneurs aim to unlock hidden potential, not just level the playing field. Women in business boost economies and innovation. These programmes are prudent investments in a varied, resilient future economy as well as gender equality. So, aren't we all better off when we promote women's different entrepreneurial talents and perspectives? The goal is to enrich the business ecosystem, not only equality

No offence but this sounds like a corporate word-salad with no real substance.
Business world is very much affected by political activism, they are trying to wipe-out gender roles, but you can't overwrite biology with political decisions. Do you think any business actually appreciates being forced into gender-parities and alike?

Is there anything to back up your claim that women are more innovative in business? Men are responsible for the vast majority of ground-breaking inventions in the recent past, despite women (in the West) being free to pick whatever field they wanted for quite a long time now (not even to mention preferential access to male dominated fields).
If women are innovative and business-minded, why do we need any support programmes for them at all? And how's that "prudent investment" going? Why is the West losing its advantage over the developing countries who don't care at all about providing any special incentives for women or about gender parities. At some point, throwing around nice-sounding, inclusive phrases may not be enough and we'll need to do a cold-hearted analysis on what's working well and what isn't.
