Giving everyone the same opportunity is not an ideology, it's common sense (or it was before political correctness). Giving all people the same opportunity is nothing to do with ideologies. An ideology, as an example, pretends that all outcomes must be the same.

For example, the overwhelming majority of veterinary "science" students in the western world are female [1]. Would you care to explain how this result represents an ideology?

What is an ideology is that Australia sexually discriminates against boys in "science" policy despite knowing this fact on vets. This would seem (to the educated individual) that it would be illogical to sexually discriminate against boys when the majority of students in veterinary "science" are female. That's because an ideology drove that illogical decision making.

Equal opportunity makes sense, not equal outcome. It's not an ideology. The ideology is a group like feminism who have pushed hard to discriminate against boys in science. Perform a Google search for "STEM" and "girls" to see thousands of articles in case you have any doubt about the power of fallacy of ideologies. You are welcome to see if there are any articles that encourage boys in science, you won't find them.

It surprises me that so many people misunderstand why equality of outcome is both a fallacy and a construct of ideologies.
