I'm not really sure I see the point. A relatively small company might have a skewed gender ratio just as a result of random variation. The issue is when a large company like Google, or the industry as a whole, has a skewed gender ratio.

No-one ever suggests doing that, so why are you bringing it up? It seems an entirely artificial concern.
