Probably a bit late, but a female Wikipedian friend of mine has noted that this blogpost’s title reads somewhat like an article on speed-dating. Not sure if there’s much we can do about it now (or if it’s really that big an issue) but thought I would raise the point on her behalf.
Her concerns are more eloquently noted on the gendergap list: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/gendergap/2015-March/005570.html
