Well, in this way as in so many, the list is not representative. Current
gender-ratios (counted very quickly) look like 20:65 F:M or thereabouts.
As always, any efforts to alter that imbalance (increase the 20, I mean,
not decrease the 65) would be welcome.
Marjorie's original point, however, was welcome as a qualitavive one,
rather than a quantitative one.
