I don't really think a 100k donation takes away from Gamergate's sub-rhetoric regarding women. And I base this on actually reading what people were posting online and in the Gamergate thread in these forums, which devolved into a lot of complaining about women for seemingly no reason whatsoever.
Basically, "women are ruining gaming" which was repellent to anyone who agreed with what Gamergate was supposed to be about, aka transparency and ethics in video game journalism.
I think that people who identified with Gamergate came from a variety of ideological backgrounds, which is why it was hard for the movement to separate itself from those who clearly had issues with women/feminists. Because that became a part of the narrative when it fact it shouldn't have been at all.
So we do accept the fact that women and men can have different levels of profficiency in some things, in this case sports?
And that they are not actually equal?
This even is true for things like chess, or cyber sports.
Or is the physical ability the only possible initial difference between genders?
You're talking about a loud minority that latched onto the ethics argument to fight against SJWs. You see gamergate the same way they see SJW as women destroying video games. Lumping everyone together into a single entity is silly. You're not arguing against GG, you're arguing against the few irrational anti-SJWs. You're acting the same way they are acting.
Doesn't suck to be a judgemental, discriminatory being and it only sucks being an arrogant one if the things you're arrogant about are unfounded.
Takes more guts in this world to hold to principles and beliefs while everyone is rolling with the times (aka subject to social and political persuasion) and if that makes you judgmental and discriminatory, so be it.
Your first two sentences are exactly right though, and there's no need to apologize or feel bad about that situation in life. Stupid Utopianism is stupid.

Good paper on why egalitarianism doesn't logically make sense as a value in and of itself.

On average a man is stronger, faster and more agile than a woman.
And on average a woman usually gives birth more times than a man.
As for individual variations and mental ability - statistics tell us that men dominate the lists of Nobel prize winners, as well as authors of big publications in most renowned scientific journals.
The Fields medal was only once awarded to a woman.
There are social reasons behind that apart from gender differences, especially in early 1900s, however I am quite sure that the discrepancy is still there now, when in a lot of countries (the Fields medal winner is from Iran for example) a girl can study and work among men without much problem.
On the other hand the amount of men with mental abilities that are below average is higher, as well as alcoholics, drug addicts, serial killers etc.
The whole "everyone is equal" idea, however will label anyone that will try to make any kind of reliable study on the genetic differences between nations and genders a nazi or a woman/man hater.
Why?
Cause too many idiots still don't understand the term... OR they're aware of the term and are trying to use it improperly to their own ends.
If you ask yourself 'Why can't we be friends?' then you'd get the concept of answer as to why we can't be egalitarian.

People often get the principle of equality wrong. Equality doesn't mean that there are no differences between genders, races, etc. Equality means actually the opposite: we recognize that we are all different and unique - and that we all deserve equally good treatment. Principle of equality is actually a praise to our differences, it is recognition of them and respecting them.
"Everyone is equal in everything" is the principle opposing equality; it means that there shouldn't be any differences between us, and if there are, then there is something wrong with us. It is the exact opposite extreme to absolute equality; it is belief that there is only one type of human that is "right", and everyone else is wrong and should be changed. It is more akin to social communism, and it has nothing to do with equality and egalitarianism.
