Given the demographic imbalance in our community, and the resultant risk of systemic bias in our editorial decisions, it might make sense to create a Women's issues noticeboard in en:WP and other Wikipedias, where related matters can be brought up for review. Thoughts? Andreas
Please create it and inform everyone.

Noticeboards are huge magnets for drama.
There are longtime English Wikipedia editors already starting to grumble about this effort. If we're going to make progress by bringing the community along with this, rather than having them fight us, we should try to minimize the potential for drama, especially of the accusatory kind that gets performed on incident noticeboards.
I would suggest we not create not a noticeboard for this issue specifically.
