Why are most Western Islamic converts women?

Yes, it's a mystery that with atheism so favorable towards women, any women at all convert to misogynistic religion.

The idea that the misogyny of this "New Atheist" movement (whom the vast majority of people have not even heard of) would have any noticeable effect on the amount of men and women converting to Islam, is just insane.

And though I don't claim to have any knowledge of the Quran, the second site hardly seems to be an unbiased source, to say the least. It doesn't really matter though.

I'll go out on a limb here and wager that I am the only person in this thread who actually has firsthand experience with this subject. The converts I know are in fact mostly women, none of whom converted for the purposes of marriage. If I were to guess at a reason, it would be that women tend to find themselves marginalized in society to a much greater extent than men, which might lead one to seek out religion.

From your personal experience, are female converts to Islam (or male for that matter) generally formerly non-religious, i.e. not converts from other religions?
