Oskar Sigvardsson stated for the record:
If there is an overwhelming amount of males over females it usually signifies something bad (with a few exceptions, like say professional wrestling). We have a host of brilliant female editors but apparently not many of them are running for arbcom. This is a very, very bad thing. We should encourage gender equality whenever we can, just saying "We are wikipedia, here gender doesn't matter" is naive. There is obviously a problem here and we should work to fix it. We don't want to be a boys-club.
Skipping the sarcasm, why would a "brilliant female editor" want to be on the ArbComm? It's a nasty job no sane person would ever want to do.
