Several reasons are possible:

there are more women here but they can't be bothered to vote
girls want a horse for christmas, boys a computer
women prefer other programming languages (in that case I'd be no woman)
programming boys get together whereas programming girls are lone wolves, not beeing accepted by the male majority (generally speaking, not in PerlMonks)
... whatever ...
