The only people it creates resentment in are those people that are happy to ignore all other forms of discrimination. It's essentially a taste of their own medicine.
Of course, it would be amazing if the day ever came that every group was fairly represented in all roles. But you have to look at the root cause of why there's a discrepancy.
It may be the case the photography as a whole isn't an appealing career to women in general. But it's more likely that women see it as a 'blokey' old-boys' club that's almost impossible to enter.
There is a definite aura of pervy old man about 'amatuer photographers' that I imagine puts many younger women off. The Nudes section on this site is probably a great example of that.
Your opening sentence... My God that's a sweeping, cruel and condemning generalisation and I'm sure you're wrong. Maybe after a bit of reflection you'll retract that.
