This is because the vast majority of existing CPL holders who applied for the program are male, so they weren't able to meet their 'quota'.

When they have say 2000 applicants for the ab initio program with perhaps 1900 males and 100 females, its still easy to meet their quota of 5 of each.

As far as it being "good marketing", I honestly can't believe the population is brainwashed by the feminist media to not be outraged by gimmicks like this. Imagine if the shoe was on the other foot...
