Should not this thread be done with by now? It is clear to us Female Space Marines cannot work within the current canon, while still staying canon due to the science and ideas behind the Space Marine lore. It's not because Games Workshop is "sexist" or because most 40k players are males, as a matter of fact, there's an increasing amount of female players, none of which are complaining about the lack of female Space Marines. As I've stated in the early days of this thread, it's because of the fact that a plenthora of female warrior types exist in 40k to satisfy any woman interested in the game, and only some bored feminist who really isn't interested in wargaming or 40k anyhow will complain about 40k being "sexist" anyway for not having female space marines.

@Archimedes Jarol, that picture on the right tells us why Games Workshop didn't continue with the female space marines idea, and instead created the Sisters of Battle, those models are horrid, they look like male Space Marines who were corrupted by Slaanesh and became transgender, and this is also why the female Space Marine idea would cause GW to loose money, players wouldn't want to buy those kind of models, definately not a woman player, when you have male organs, and male hormones being injected into a female, the female isn't a female anymore, but some strange androgynous human.

So to rephrase, Games Workshop won't impliment female Space Marines not because theres a bunch of "sexist bigots" working there, who hate women, but because no one would buy those models, and would loose money and players. Games Workshop has to think economically, especially after it ended Fantasy, it can't just knucle under to the most recent feminist trend, and if Games Workshop was in the business of trying to be "politically correct", then Warhammer 40k would most likely be less popular than Star Trek wargaming.
