Why do you think so?
Regardless of what criteria you use to split human groups, you get non-equal distributions, because people are different.
To me, exact equal balance everywhere would be a much stronger indication that indeed something very fishy is going on.

Really? All children are born to women, none to men. Obviously cultural forces.
Most women prefer men as mates. Most men prefer women as mates. Obviously cultural forces.
Little infants and even little infant monkeys show gendered toy preferences. Obviously cultural forces.
Women vastly prefer early childhood education as a degree. Obviously cultural forces.
That "something" is almost certainly cultural, since there is little evidence that any group based genetic hypothesis has explanatory power, whereas cultural forces have clearly been shown to impact gender balance. e.g. the right to vote.
