Of course I had the occasional female boss in the SH and J2 world, but those who got there, got there mainly without positive discrimination.
I have 3 teenage sons, and have just learned from them that at our school in Sussex there are no more places for them on a local engineering work experience scheme at a local employer, administered by the school, as the school wants more girls to make up the quota. Progress? You decide.
That is sex discrimination and illegal unless they have applied the sex discrimination act legislation exemptions and beinfg a school I suspect not.
