What I am taking personally is your assertion that we nominated these articles for some anti-female agenda.
Which you continue to do by suggesting my characterisation of your argument as ridiculous is due to you being a woman.
The irony of then telling me not to take it personally is... Ah, well..
Of course I take personally being characterised as holding offensive views.
The point was; I am educating you about the sorts of things that put people off editing. I am a big believer in making wikipedia a welcoming place, and your comments characterise the unfortunate low level nastiness that often puts people off. I am sure it was unintended, hence the explanation.

As a female I've been called ridiculous
for having an opinion so many times I don't even know what it
means anymore :-)
But seriously, it's not like the nominator said:"I'm on the
GenderGap list and here's why I think this list would agree these
articles should be deleted... "
Don't take rejections of AfD nominations so personally...

contrasting with questionable - not using to describe my
specific questions on specific articles in that particular
AfD list. See:

But frankly I do wonder why two people on this list nominate
brand new articles related to women for deletion rather than
improving them.
HOWEVER -- the specifics should be discussed at the
relevant AfD pages, so if this little dust up gets people
there, goody goody!! :-)

Wow. What a ridiculous way to say "yes". Ive always found you to
be switched on and relevant in the past; but looking over your
contributions to those AFDs it feels like your certain the aim is
to remove these articles because we are anti-women. And for no
other reason.
This is the sort of thing that puts women off editing
Wikipedia and I am happy to call it out.
