And I've been thinking about this summore. Male SF editors pick stories that appeal to them, which are more likely to be written by other men. Hence the anthologies they publish appeal more to male readers. So it's a self-perpetuating cycle.
I seem to recall reading somewhere (how's that for reliable data!) that, in general, women buy WAY more books than men. So SF is ignoring a vast, untapped market.
