There are only a few fields where it is appropriate to hire a girl because of her anatomy. This is not one.
I probably have an unpopular view here, but I would take a woman over a man if they are considered equally qualified. It has nothing to do with diversity. Society does discount woman’s leadership a little bit because there aren’t too many of them. If a woman is considered as good a leader as another man based purely on merit, she probably is better than him.
