AFAIR the real statistics work even more in your favour. In many countries many women don't join the work force so the gender ratio is not 50/50 (even ignoring that in multiple populations men outnumber women until around 40 year mark). One anecdote: throughout my childhood I didn't know men are allowed into education because 100% of my teachers until university were women. On the other hand pretty much until 2000s basically all the police force were men.
