True, I don't think any such position is skill related. It depends on connections and relations to a large degree.

But in some cases it is not, every company has an interest to find adequate replacements and young successors. And some of those will inevitably be women.

I don't think it is a good idea to discriminate for intrinsic characteristics.

Some people won't get a job because they are male. Those people are discriminated by the state. Especially Germany should treat lightly here in my opinion, even when the justification sounds better at first (It isn't much better if you think a bit about it).
