I looked back through the issues of Lucid Rhythms and found in the issues that have gone on-line:

August 2007: 11 Men, 14 Women
December 2007: 17 Men, 6 Women
April 2008: 15 Men, 11 Women
August 2008: 21 Men, 10 Women
December 2008: 16 Men, 9 Women
April 2009: 15 Men, 14 Women

I can say--and I hope people will believe me--that gender bias plays no role whatesoever in the selection of poems for the magazine. Poetic merit is the sole guide. It seems I get more submissions from men. Do more men write poetry than women?
