There's absolutely no harm in coming to a finding that, say, 80% of the 
US-American female
contributors prefer the filter while only 30% of the non-US-American 
female contributors
do. Just like there is no harm in stating that 86% of the core 
contributors to de-WP do not
want to see the filter in their project.

It really depends on what you do with these numbers. If you use them and 
try to understand
why the two groups feel in such a drastically different way and how you 
wan to deal with that,
then there can't be anything wrong with that, can there?

You claim that Milos implied that "if you're a woman from the US, your 
opinion is invalid", and
I have not seen anything like that.  It strikes me as funny that you 
would complain about  his
post being aggressive and alienating when your post could be construed 
as exactly that.

Oliver
