It can feel like a form of reverse discrimination to ask for more of one gender to be considered. Diversity is often a great way to bring in different perspectives, but it’s definitely a hard line to walk. I’d be curious to hear how others address unconscious biases and if you feel like that is happening here.

But how is that not discrimination? You are restricting intentionally the pool of candidates based on gender instead of looking for skills only?
You can always ask but they may not be able to control that. Typically they have to pick the most qualified person, regardless of gender. But I can definitely relate to you, it's tough being the only woman on a team.
I’d say without being biased… just put the male applicants on the back burner and put the females as a priority?

You’re not alone. I’ve been the only woman before, and it can feel isolating in ways that are hard to explain unless you’ve lived it. One thing that helped me was asking the hiring manager to ensure at least one woman was in every interview round—not just for balance, but to help candidates feel more seen.

But.... Isn't this discrimination?
Recommend other women I am sure there are many talented looking for a job.
You can absolutely raise it with the hiring manager. Framing it around diversity and balanced perspectives usually works best, like asking if they can ensure the candidate slate includes more women.
