If we want to assume females in philosophy is probably the highest right now, that's still only about 30% of philosophy majors (US) so we still have over triple the potential even now. We also know of multiple periods where women weren't taught formally at all. We know women can think logically because of these >>13146655 and other lesser female philosophers. So the capability is obviously there but there has been an immeasurable amount more potential for male minds to show up that stand out far enough above the rest to change the game. Add that to women breaking career or quitting altogether for children and family and there's even less of a chance to land a great female mind. The bigger the sample size the greater the potential.
