  I don't think code reviewers are looking at the gender of the committer and reaching for their scrutiny glasses. Other than the rank issue mentioned, it's fully possible that the code submitted may have co-incidentally been of lower quality in the window sampled. This has no bearing to the author's gender.

  A similar sampling can be done on race, color, religion, sexual orientation ... but it's easy to forget that correlation isn't causation. And I say this as a person belonging to a minority.
