Gender mix in groups

One of the the games I run, I'm one of only two guys there.  Out of a
total of 6 people.  And we may be adding another person, another woman. 
This one originally started out almost balanced but random chance has
shifted things over the years.

The other game I run is only *slightly* biased towards men, 4 out of 7. 
We dominate more in the game I'm playing in, where we're 5 of 8.

All of these groups work just fine.  In the past, I've been in all male
groups and groups with only a few women.  And really, while the dynamics
have changed over the years, I think that's more a result of increasing
maturity in the players and not the group composition.
