We've all complained about the casting and the editing throughout this forum -- they both suck. The fans don't like it, but we all keep watching. Survivor is consistently a top 20 TV show after 10 years, despite being in one of the most competitive time-slots of the week. I don't think CBS has any complaints about this show's ratings.

But back to the point of this thread, I don't think there is any conspiracy to keep women from winning the game, or that the game is somehow "unfair" to women. And heck, there is so much luck and coincidence involved in this game, I'm pretty sure you could play each game 20 times with the same 20 people and get 20 different results.
