That's one way of percieving equality the left/social conviction that social equality equals the equal of outcome construct.

The liberal perception follows the line of thought that societal equality equates equality of oppurtunity, which is quite well established. A women can reach great places of power within Germany, hell Merkel is probably Europe is most influencefull and powerful person.

Also there are also fields like education and healthcare where man are in the minority, should those change to to reach gender equality in your perception. 

I do think real equality is equality of outcome however i also think that there is only one way or should I say one formula to achieve equality of outcome.

equality of oppurtunity  +  time  =  equality of outcome

So if equality of opportunity is achieved it will eventually lead to equality of outcome, if not, equality of opportunity was never really achieved in the first place.
