You are presuming that those stats are accurate though.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some women were miscategorised by whatever algorithmarked their gender.

Of course they are. This is practically in the definition of stats. It isn’t a question of if it’s inaccurate, but of how inaccurate it is. A confidence of 95% isn’t much worse than 100% for purposes of advertising.
