Ah, "the statistics".

Or when you file in your interest for a teaching job at university and are being told that more and more jobs as proferssors are female-excluiusvely, and that a woman was chosen although her qualification was lesser than yours.

Congratulations on missing the entire reality. Only 13% of tenured professors in Germany are women (data from 2010) and Germany has one of the biggest gender pay differentials in Europe.
Taking small steps on a few hundred (out of 38,000) posts is not the end of the world.
