[[Systemic bias]] in the WP sense is more about article content and quality rather than editor activities; for instance, we have more extensive info on the presidents of the US than of Gabon, not as a conscious decision but as side effect of being anglophone instead of francophone, access to source material, etc. It seems tricky to identify systemic bias that is gender-specific but not based on incorrect stereotypes (puts me in mind of the old line about how there are only two jobs that are single-gender - wet nurse and sperm donor :-) ), but perhaps I'm unaware of articles that are obviously missing/stubly to others.
