There aren't definitive stats on this, so I wouldn't put too much stake in them.The uneven disparity in MBTI types when looking at gender is only a full gone conclusion of what is a logical perspective.
^ Pretty much this.Type and gender are separate, and much of what is attributed to male/female differences is really due to T/F differences. This lines up often enough to be credible because more women are F and more men are T, though these are not large majorities and there are plenty of men and women in the opposite camp.
That being said, gender and type can interact, especially where social norms and expectations are concerned. Male Fs and female Ts are less likely to operate in line with these expectations. Also, certain types of either gender are more likely to disregard social expectations, while other types are more likely to value and follow them.
I come across as pretty balanced regarding T/F IRL, but that's because I was raised to value Fe, and my main behavioral role model (my mother) was an INFJ. Not to mention the obvious societal expectations regarding gender that have been ingrained in me over the years.
