Lennart,
That's too bad. One of the biggest causes of the gendergap is the lack of reliable sources to move new articles through the Wikipedia "recent changes page patrol" on any given project. The academic bias inherent in women-related subjects (and I mean anything from knitting patterns to health issues) means that it is very hard to locate such material. I have met time and again very creative male Wikipedians who not only find such sources, but who can do so quite easily.

I agree with Moriel in that "I don't know if we can deal or attempt to fix the gendergap issues in Wikipedia without engaging the men." and there is a Wikimania submission that deals with this:

I was thinking about a proper documentation of how it has happened -
should be written.
Even I know of instances in techtalk list.
