It comes to men 70%; women 30%. So this is quite in line with Australia's "The Monthly".

Thanks for doing that. I wish I could say I was surprised, yet I suspect you can find an absence of female thinkers/writers in publications all over the world. In my beloved <em>London Review of Books </em>I suspect it's even worse (it's one of <em>those</em> love affairs). Mmm ... back to Excel to dial up their figures I think. SGx Amazing.

Amazingly, this is the same breakdown as the one you came up with for "Australia".

I've not done the equivalent analysis in America, but anecdotally (ie, listening to NPR, reading the Atlantic etc) I would guess that there is no imbalance, or that women even outnumber men.
