The recent thread on the low numbers of women applying for ArbCom and subsequent discussion about systemic bias and under-representation of women has led me to wonder about the nature of gender-related systemic bias on the English Wikipedia.
I suspect the cause is simply that women have something else to do with their time that they enjoy more. However, I also suspect enough women will edit, that "women's subjects" will eventually be adequately handled.
