Maybe I am too theoretical, or too closely linked with the world of education, but it seems to me that there might be a confusion on that list about the kind of participation to encourage.
The kind of women I know are mostly teachers, or doctors, or work in research institutes. They are perfectly able to write about scientific subjects, and it seems to me that kind of participation would benefit the cause more than stating they need to see girly stuff to feel entitled to participate. They are not teenagers.
For instance an article about the pelagic ecosystem doesn't seem to me very gender-oriented.
And for personal preferences there are personal blogs...

This list is about exploring any issue which might discourage any sort of woman from editing and facilitating any change which might encourage any woman to edit.
We want people to feel welcome. We want them to be able to start editing productively with minimum fuss and to be treated appropriately should there be conflict.
I think there is an issue with visualizing women editors as geeks, most women don't see themselves that way, and those that do are probably already editing. So it needs to be clear that anything any woman is interested in is fair game for editing.
