This
comment to me comes off as exactly the opposite of the sort
of thing that I would want to see on this list. We are here
to cooperate on reducing the gender-gap and this means that
we should all work civilly together to do so.
Over the last two years I have made a number of constructive
suggestions to increase female participation, a few are below, plus
some new ones that occur as I write:
* bring back Wikipedia:Wikiquette_assistance since women may not
want to got to WP:ANI for low grade constant nonsense
* take complaints about harassment in general more seriously
* Have a "class action" Arbitration on Sexism/Double standards so
that discretionary sanctions could be imposed on obvious incidents
* (new one) quota of 1/3 women admins and 1/3 women arbitrators (and
other positions?)
* (new one) A GenderGap wikiproject on every wiki, since it can be
troublesome having to go all the way to
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gender_gap to contact women about
what to do with specific issues; (wikiprojects like feminism and
gender and womens studies more article and policy related than
recruitment and problem solving related)
The archives probably have other early suggestions by women I've
forgotten. Now a days the only alternatives seem to be doing
studies, counting numbers, posting mainstream media articles about
what Wikipedia is allegedly doing and links to problematic articles.
