This take disingenuously ignores the fact that society has forced gender roles since the beginning. Policies like that aren't an attempt to disregard nature, they're an attempt to undo some of the damage that has been done by society.

Sexism now doesn't solve sexism in the past, it just adds more needless discrimination.

I think this along with the two parent comments sums up the current challenge with feminism. Often things are made and optimized for the majority for natural reasons (efficiency). How do we the make (equal) room for the 5%? Equal rules tend to not create an equal environment, since it sure to natural reasons is skewed.
PS. As pointed out by another comment, there's of course a significant road we have to travel just to get to the baseline, like equal pay for equal work.
