Bookplanet: prizes for women only debated

Interesting NY Times article about literary awards for women only, of which there are quite a few. Sample quote about whether they're OK:
'Anne Fine, a British novelist, is still unpersuaded. "I do think the Orange Prize has created a division, an artificial barrier, when before there was only an awful inequality. But now you do hear people unashamedly talking about women's writing in a way you would never hear them talking about women's architecture or women's music." '
WHERE DO YOU stand? Why not prizes for women only? Women may be treated equally by publishers, but award-givers still favor men, I think.
