Are UK national government grants for women owned businesses discriminatory?

Although UK national government small business grants set aside specifically for women owned small businesses may seem unfair, keep in mind that even today there is a noteworthy discrepancy between the pay rates of men and women within the workplace for doing the same job, as well as other guidelines of gender discrimination despite the United Kingdom national laws and regulations designed to counter this. By offering national small business grants that target women owned small businesses, the United Kingdom government counteracts some of this bias by giving women entrepreneurs a chance they may otherwise be denied.
