"And how exactly do men have a much lower chance of getting accepted?"

Since they are not allowed to apply their chance is exactly 0.
On the other hand the 'real' SoC was open to everybody without consideration of sex or color, so the chance of women or men to be accepted were equal (we are going to assume that Gnome did not discriminate against women and then turn around and announce an Affirmative Action program)

So everall, with this scheme, the 'chance' of a given individual is lower if he is male.
Now there is SoC, the Open version, and SoC the 'dumbed down' version....
