I have participated for a while and I think women are in slight majority.

I think women are generally in majority when it comes to language studies, although (surprise, surprise) the top polyglots are men. Supposedly female brains are slightly better wired for language learning according to some researches of the brain. Here in England this is often mentioned as an "excuse" for why female students outperforms male students at some national exams (can't recall the exact details, but I've come across this several times).

Maybe women are do better on national exams because us guys are inherently lazy?
Anyway happy international women's day!
