I don't think this is a case of positive discrimination though, I think it's a case of the best person for the job. If there was a woman's refuge which catered for battered women, would it be appropriate for a skinhead bloke with huge tattoos to get the job? Yes you might argue that he could be the best person for the job because his qualifications match, he's actually a really gentle giant etc - but if the 'best person' for the job is a threatening looking person to the women that need the service then he isn't actually the best person for the job.
