The "You go girl" was more meant as a congrats or good for you comment. If you saw any of the news reports on the appointment you would have seen the stats on female CEO's & execs which I don't recall exactly & don't have time to look up now as I have to get to work myself. But the stats are rather pittiful. Some industries are better than others but many are still awful. To some extent in some segments it is attributable to few women taking certain fields of study. But in other areas it is more like in my field. I work for the largest provider of community mental health services in the US. More than 90% of the staff in this field has always been female. Yet more than 90% of the top execs & CEO's are male. How does that happen? So yes there is still inequity out there. Your comments are a bit confusing as on the one hand you seem to get it that both genders are capable of achieving the same success in any field they choose but you seem uninformed about the inequities that still exist in equal pay and in the percentages of females in CEO positions & upper level management across the board.
