I think the females-in-leadership thing is often a regional/occupational issue. In many jobs I've had, middle to upper management has been at worst a 50/50 split, and many of my direct reports were female.
In fact, my better bosses have often been female, but again there seems to be some tie-in between the role and female participation. Often, is the role interesting to a predominantly male or female crowd. Trying to make all roles/positions equally gender-interesting is kinda like trying to get rock musicians interested in becoming climatologists.
