My answer: NONE OF THEE ABOVE. I don't really think about how many dudes versus how many ladies pop up in things, probably because sex doesn't have any additional weight in my liking/disliking of a character. (Though I do tend to have to be more defensive of the ladies I like, I think my interests split evenly.) Honestly it concerns me more when the ladies there are are being portrayed in an unfair/cliche fashion or if fandom is a dick about awesome ladies, because both happen way too often for my liking.
And that being said, I think JJ was just maintaining what the original main TOS cast was. I suppose he could have done a Starbuck-esque gender switch for somebody though, like they did with the new BSG. (The result of that was pretty awesome.)

These things concern me too, but I feel like pretty frequently they go hand-in-hand with things that don't have many women in the first place.
BUT I AM NOT LIKE YOU, I feel weird and uncomfortable when I am watching/reading something that DOES NOT INCLUDE WOMEN AT ALL. Things are more boring with only men! I DON'T KNOW WHY I FEEL THIS WAY. Maybe because girls are awesome? Not that men aren't... too, I just, I don't know.
