How could there be fewer women on the list than expected? We are 3% of the LW population according to Yvain’s survey—even if we’re underreported and are really twice that, it wouldn’t be statistically odd for there to be no women on the top list.
Also, I don’t doubt that the recent odd voting is because of the storm I’ve stirred up here—but it happened twice before I’d even considered putting up this post. It’s happened to other people too.
There could be fewer if there were 0 out of 10 for a long period of time. Which is not what we observe.
Likewise, if we extended the list to 100 top contributors, we would expect there to be no more women added to the leader board and for it to remain just you and AnnaSalamon on the list. Do you expect that would happen? And if not, how is it compatible with women’s contributions being voted up significantly less than men’s?

It has happened (and continues to happen) to a lot of other people and doesn’t seem to be related to gender, which was my point.
