Simple, there is not the same number of men and women. Normally it is said there are 50% men and 50% women. It’s false. There are more men than women. Imagine there are 50.3% men and 49.7% women. This 49.7 needs to have more than 2 to compensate.

PD: I have to look for the exact figures, but this is the reason.
