I don't know much about competitive pinball or statistics but a quick check of the IFPA website shows that there are 30 392 players registered in the rankings and 2131 are women. By my calculations, that is about 7%. So if you are asking why there are no women represented in the IFPA top 25, I suspect that's your answer right there. As for the answer to the question in your title, I don't think it is clear that men are better than women at pinball (all things being equal) and I don't even know how you would work that out but I'm pretty sure that a cursory glance at the rankings is not going to give you the answer.

Quoted from jayhawkai:

Don't know where you are finding those numbers, but you might want to double check those calculations.

Sorry, added a number. There's 30 392 total players but I think my percentage is still right. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Quoted from BriannaWu:

What are the pinball games that showcase women in them?

For new games, Multimorphic has a couple of good female leads. Lexy Lightspeed and Maggie (the mastermind) in Heist.
