To be clear, you are criticising Sabine for saying there should be no research grants for women? If so, you perhaps misinterpret her meaning? If I know Sabine at all from her videos she would have simply meant that in an equal world, grants aimed specifically at either sex should not be necessary. I don’t think this is a “raise the drawbridge” stance, if that’s what you mean.

Not quite, I’m afraid. Her point was essentially “I had very good grades, so I would have been hired anyway, but instead of hiring me normally, they hired me through this grant for women, which is a form of discrimination”. She’s not explicitly saying “kick the ladder when I’m up top”, but it’s essentially the conclusion. She mentions it on the “what’s wrong with academia” thingy video.
