Yes, the subtext of affirmative action is that women are sub-par and need reduced standards, or men excluded entirely, to be able to compete with men. This is the belief of those pushing contemporary policies.

On another note, if the pay gap exists, and I'm an employer, and women are just as capable as men, then why would I hire men at all? I mean, I can get the same quality for "9%" less if I hire, exclusively, women, yeah? Are feminicists saying that men who own companies are hurting their own profit margin, intentionally, just out some sort of sordid sense of comradery with fellow men?
