I don't have a problem with people starting an all women list specifically on this topic through whatever appropriate list serve service seems appropriate. It can make its own rules about participants. The impression I got was the proposal was to make *this* the all women list, which I oppose. With all back and forth one gets confused.

I second. The problem is aggression and trying to impose one's agenda, and whether you are male, female, M2F transgender or F2M transgender, you can be aggressive and disruptive. (And I've been on a couple all women lists over the years where M2F transgenders were very aggressive, condescending and disruptive.) I don't see any agreement with Ms. Hale's proposal and I think we need to drop it.
It's true, though, that there are things I would post about Wikipedia on a women-only list, if I could be 100 percent sure that's what it was. And as if to prove that point, I just typed out an example, then deleted it because I felt uncomfortable. :) So even if Laura's proposal isn't being supported, I hope it gives food for thought. And there's nothing to stop her from setting up such a list herself.
