Women's views are too often drowned out on talk pages, simply because of
their numerical inferiority. A noticeboard would help.

While I understand the concern about the potential for drama, I think
any method used to make Wikipedia more gender-neutral will attract a share
of drama. Having an institution to look at women's issues is a pretty
mainstream idea.

The UK has a [[Minister for Women and Equalities]] (a poorly researched
article at this time); there is a [[Minister responsible for the Status of
Women (Canada)]]; a [[Minister for the Status of Women (Australia)]]; even
Afghanistan has one: [[Ministry_of_Women's_Affairs_(Afghanistan)]].

Denmark has a [[Minister_for_Gender_Equality_(Denmark)]]; Sweden has a
[[Ministry of Integration and Gender Equality (Sweden)]], etc.

The United States have affirmative action. We should not fear controversy,
or grumbling; our democratically elected governments don't let that stop
them either. If the Wikipedia community cannot support something that is
standard in democratic society, then we do have a problem with our
demographics, and whatever problem we have will become readily apparent.

I wouldn't mind calling it a gender issues noticeboard. (That would be
[[WP:GIN]] as opposed to [[WP:WIN]].)
