Interesting reading but it is not as if they have not had enough time to get 'equal' to the mens players is it..?

What % of players in each federation are women? 5%?
Are the results any different than the # of players from any random population in that federation that is of a similar size over 1000 random draws?
Conclusions from the table may be no more relevant than conclusions about the national ranking of players in each federation with last names that have the letter V in them.
As an experiment I did 10 random draws in excel of 150 ranks from 1 to 3000 representing a random population of 5%. Coincidentally, 70% of those draws had top ranks of #11 or worse.

wow really? that is totally new to me, I always thought Juditine Carlsen was world champion :O
Women are just as good as men at chess. However, due to the fact that very few girls play chess (compared to the number of men who play) it is statisticly expected that men will be the highest rated elite group of players. it has nothing to do with skill level. Men and women are equally good at chess."quantity over quality"

That's not how statistics work 
Let's pretend you know all the men, and all the women!
We're people,individual and self contained,not a statistic.
One thing that's not talked about, is that men have a natural advantage in chess because we're used to playing with bishops from a young age.
We may already be there, but I predict even greater things to come!

True, but it's only many years later that men learn to integrate pawn promotion into their strategy.
From some of the posts one could assume that people finally are beginning to link chess with intelligence... they just needed the right motivation, and their own rating probably wasnt it :P
I'm pretty sure differing interests is more relevant that intelligence.

I prefer to go for a quick mating attack. No pawn promotion required.
Women world ranking chess players lag behind tremendous upswing in Womens affairs worldwide.
Summary: In 70.2% of the federations women are rated #11 to #349 in the country. Only 10.6% of all chess federation countries have a powerful female player ranked #3 to #10 on the overall rating list.
Ratings of top female chess players in each country is now provided (w=world female rank; n=national rank, all players);
