It seems counterintuitive that immediately after saying that you "do not
wish to put a quantitative value to solve a social issue" you decided to
put a quantitative value on a social issue as a way of saying "there is
no point in talking in %".

I suppose that once we reach a point as a project where *less* than 95%
of people are from one gender then perhaps you will see a point to
talking about this issue in quantitative terms and be willing to
discuss.
