I do wish to say though that this experience might depend on the level of controversy of the topic one is editing, not to discount this conflict, but to say that in getting women (or men) involved around the edges of Wikipedia that this is not necessarily going to be their experience. regards

One goal is for women to be able to participate fully, as editors of controversial subjects and as administrators exercising responsible discretion. There is going to be some flack directed at anyone who engages in those activities, but it should be as comfortable for women to participate as for men.
That's one level, another is general participation by women in a routine way, you notice information is not in Wikipedia and include it on a routine basis as you go about your day. That is where the numbers are.
A third is adequate coverage of notable women and of subjects which are interesting to women.
A fourth is corralling immature phallic energy, and images.
