CMV: Fighting inequality with inequality doesn't work

A lot of people seem to believe that, if there is inequality in society, bias against the group they see as favoured will reduce inequality.

One example that comes to my mind is the feminist cafe that charged men extra because they wanted to counter the gender wage gap. 

There's other examples of this, and they all seem to believe that if they introduce new bias to society, it will magically balance out. I believe it makes much more sense to support equality wherever possible and fight the source of the discrimination. Otherwise, the boundaries between different groups tend to increase, and conflict is created where people aim to reduce it.

So, are there flaws or misunderstandings in my reasoning?

Consider the following situation. During a crisis, a government offers $2000 of free money to all its citizens. However, people in Oppressed Group A are excluded from receiving this money and receive nothing from the government: an instance of bias. After the next election, a different party comes to power. This new government, in order to correct for the perceived injustice of the previous one, grants $2000 of free money to all citizens in Group A, but no money to citizens not in Group A.

Did the new government's action reduce inequality? If not, why not?
