I’ve been hiring in a male dominated field for a while, and realistically, in those scenarios, you’re actually being asked to make sure you interview women at all, and if you go with a man, you need to be able to explain why the man was more qualified than the women you interviewed.
Anyone who has said they were forced to hire a woman, in my experience, has been disingenuous, and upset at the layer of accountability

Or more simply, they’re a shit manager who doesn’t know how to properly hire candidates and manage a team. I suppose there’s also the possibility that they are a shit manager incapable of defending their actions to their management because of incompetence. The embodiment of the Peter Principle.
The type of manager that throws their employees under the bus instead of taking responsibility, managing, and coaching effectively. Which seems to be about 80% of managers, and 95% of middle management.
