Discrimination can be a funny thing. In some fields, such as tech and life sciences, it can be REALLY difficult to find senior scientific women. So for some companies, if they want any significant female representation in senior ranks, they have to work extra hard to find women for less technical positions, such as CFO, VP of HR, Marketing, etc. Restaurant kitchens, baygo's field, are also dominated by men. These male dominated businesses are very hard on many women at the lower ranks and make women's career progress tougher (ask your daughters, nieces, etc). In these situations--where the playing field is not level for women from the start--sometimes "discrimination" is more fair for the people and better for the company.
