If there are a huge number of exceptions (and there demonstrably are) it means that there is no "rule." That's how that works. There may be a trend, but it's also a trend that is obviously due to women being systemically disempowered and excluded from opportunity - and yet they achieved remarkable things in spite of that - and continue to do so despite ongoing discrimination. Men hold the vast majority of leadership positions in business because up until a few years ago women were actively prevented from having any opportunities to even try. Now that they do have more opportunity, multiple business organizations and research studies recognize that women in general are better leaders and that companies with a high percentage of women do better financially.

Edit: and the fact that you used the term “glass ceiling” indicates that you understand that there were/are artificial barriers to achievement.

Women leaders make work better. Here's the science behind how to promote them

"When more women are empowered to lead, everyone benefits. Decades of studies show women leaders help increase productivity, enhance collaboration, inspire organizational dedication, and improve fairness.

Women rank better than or equal to men in seven of eight traits relevant to leadership assessed in a 2008 national survey by the Pew Research Center. Half of the respondents ranked women as more honest than men, with 20% saying that men are more honest than women. In terms of intelligence, 38% said they viewed women as smarter, with only 14% indicating men are smarter. Women were also ranked as being more compassionate, outgoing, and creative."

"Companies with more women in leadership roles are more profitable. A Pepperdine University study showed that twenty-five Fortune 500 firms with the best record of promoting women into high positions were 18 to 69 percent more profitable than the median firms in their industries.[i]

Companies with more women in leadership roles are more competitive than their peers. One USA Today report found the stocks of 13 Fortune 500 companies led by a woman for all of 2009 outperformed the S&P 500 (companies primarily led by men) by 25%.[ii]Companies with more women in leadership roles reflect the marketplace. Women are responsible for 83 percent of all consumer purchases in the U.S. and control nearly $20 trillion of the world’s spending power.[iii] [iv]

Despite these advantages, most companies don’t come close to achieving an equally balanced team of leaders that would help them capitalize on all of their talent. Companies that believe leadership effectiveness produces a competitive advantage cannot continue to neglect half of their employee population, when doing so limits their success."

I could do this all day, but honestly, I've got better things to do than smirk at your insecurities.
