In my experience, yes. What is your experience in editing spec fic anthologies or magazines? Zero?

Dudgeon, I'd just like to point out that your answer makes no sense here. She asked you *why* something was, not *whether* something was.

I'd be interested in hearing your answers to these questions:

Why are 95% of the spec fic writers you chose male?
Why are "the majority of spec fic authors which [you know:] white males"?
Why do you assume that including a woman's work in your collection would force you into accepting "substandard" work? Do you seriously think that women do not write spec fic as well as men, or that there aren't just as many women writing excellent work as men?

Unless that "yes" was you stating, "Yes, I think women do not write spec fic as well as men."

I think Megan does...
