In the US this is true in academic philosophy and probably the humanities more generally. Women get tenure track positions with, on average, half the number of publications that men have. Most tenured professors are men, but it's slowly changing as the strong preference for women at the junior levels percolates upward. Within the next twenty or thirty years we'll need to address the bias against men in junior positions or we're going to end up with the same problem but in reverse.
