It's not just in the Arts Mark. More girls are taking Physics and higher level Maths for example and boys are rapidly losing their grip on the top results of those subjects.
If you asked me why fewer women submit work for publication my first reaction would be that women have less time. Submitting and tracking work is VERY time-consuming. Wrting and submitting require a long concentrated effort. The time taken for such an effort is a luxury for many women, if attainable at all. Most of the women I know have pretty full days just keeping the show on the road.

Jan, I'm a Republican Monarchist. My head says Republic (on Paul Keating's proposed model) but my heart says God Save the Queen.
I am going to start keeping stats for submissions where I can to my humble organs. When I get time I'll do a retrospective too.
