Sure, but that seems to be a moot point since we know that all of them will be eliminated.

Stacking the deck to aim for a FF win instead of letting it happen on its own doesn't demonstrate strength and doesn't support women. There's no equality to setting things up differently to accommodate specific genders over others. FF teams should win on normal, balanced seasons. And more than that, if a FF team doesn't win, it's a lousy take that the season is lesser because literally anyone else won on their own merit.
When Will and James won TAR32, people on these forums complained that they shouldn't have. IMO that's an idiotic take no matter what way you cut it. TAR has had winners of countless backgrounds and relationship types. If someone can't enjoy the show because it doesn't unfold the way that they don't want it to, I'd suggest creating a fan-fiction instead. Or watch something scripted. You're not going to get what you want from this show every time. Life's not fair; womp womp.

Correct, life is not fair. And that’s exactly the point of all this - to make it fair.

That's a bit absurd in my opinion. Redressing a perceived balance by putting other people aside to do it isn't equality; it isn't feminist; it isn't helpful for fairness. It enforces the idea that the only way women can win on this show is if you have to give them extra help, only reinforcing that they can't do it themselves.
What you're suggesting isn't doing what you think it's doing. It insists that women need to be coddled to victory.

Just look at S17's and S25's winners for further proof. Amy/Maya were dead in the water, did mediocre all race, but got lucky because a bogus end of race twist that crowned them as one of the more controversial winners. And the cast of S17 was pretty slanted (arguably) with only 1 competitive co-ed team and no real M/M threat. Coddled? Maybe not, but definitely suspect.
