In our ward, the Relief Society sets the pace. The president is of relatively little education and station, but she has taken "radical" steps to improve the cohesiveness of RS. For example, she did the equivalent of geomapping everyone. She got a big map and put pins at every address. She then reassigned all the visiting teaching so that neighbors would teach each other. That's just an example. By comparison the priesthood quorums seem to be always winging in, and put together with duct tape and baling wire.
No doubt in my mind that men are the weak link. I don't have the stats, but I bet if you look at activity rates in members over the age of 30, it is skewed female.

Our ward has a great priesthood, where hometeaching numbers often exceed visiting teaching. The men did the geomapping, with follow up emails, and geographically related hometeaching companionships.
