This scenario illustrates benevolent sexism, which is a subtle form of gender prejudice where individuals hold positive and affectionate attitudes towards women but they limit them to traditional gender roles, in this case, that women are honest and intuitive. By giving more opportunities to female employees, Finn is not only discriminating against male employees but he is also reinforcing gender stereotypes that could limit women's professional growth.
