I always thought it was a weird thing to say, though it does grab your attention which might be what it is going for. But as a man I always assume this means that I wouldn't have a good chance of being hired by the company. I don't buy arguments that women applicants are on average more qualified than male applicants, my prior is that applicants should be roughly equal. Presumably the company gets more male applicants, so to maintain a 50/50 ratio they must reject a significantly higher fraction of male applicants than other companies do.
