Here's an interesting bit of trivia. If there are three women in a group of between ten and fifteen people, people tend to judge after-the-fact that the mix was about half-and-half, or even that women actually outnumbered the men in the group.
That's also, statistically, pretty close to the registration statistics for AW, by the way -- about 35%, give or take. So women outnumbering men in writers forums simply isn't true -- at least not here.
Perhaps it's time to examine your own deeply-held biases, Richard? Because I'm pretty damned well certain that if you get rejected by publishers and agents, it's got nothing to do with your boy-cooties. And making a thinly-veiled suggestion otherwise is just insulting.
