Who's asking you to "expect" anything? I think if you assess people's abilities individually everybody's happy.

Well, James Damore got fired from Google (and, apparently, blackballed out of the employment market entirely) for insinuating that Google was assessing people's abilities individually. While I think you're correct, the problem is that too many people seem to try to evaluate whether or not everybody's abilities are being assessed individually by looking at the end result rather than looking at the individuals involved.

It doesn't look like it. A lot of people in science are demanding equality of outcomes for groups (when the outcome is positive). They are well done pass asking for equality of opportunities.
