Odds of getting into MIT differ based on gender

@MITChris Given the ratio of RD admits and EA admits, isnt the defer admit rate a bit unfair for the RD’s number wise?

I mean we can clearly see a higher acceptance rate for EA, then RD, and then Defers, but The RD and Defer rates are bordering in.

Also, assuming the gender based division is correct, doesnt that clearly suggest an extremely competitive disadvantage for males?

Note: So Deferred apps are read along with the RD’s right? But with the same enthusiasm and weightage? I thought since theyre already read once, and IMO not much changes in the second read, they are at a statistical/normal disadvantage.

I might be wrong on some of this, since idk about the ever-changing stats for MIT which are sometimes surprising
