Very valid point indeed and one that also applies to many, many fields. It's only been recently that women have broken through in a number of areas, and it will probably take a generation for that to really bear fruit. I mean currently the number of females in colleges & universities is great than men (and in some instances by such a long shot that affirmative action for men is being considered). But that isn't going to instantly manifest itself.
