If there is an overwhelming amount of males over females it usually signifies something bad (with a few exceptions, like say professional wrestling). We have a host of brilliant female editors but apparently not many of them are running for arbcom. This is a very, very bad thing. We should encourage gender equality whenever we can, just saying "We are wikipedia, here gender doesn't matter" is naive. There is obviously a problem here and we should work to fix it. We don't want to be a boys-club.
I'm sorry, but the last thing we need on Wikipedia is affirmative action.
Yes, there are already too many teenagers here. Suggest we ban anyone not of legal drinking age (which for the more progressive countries, allows younger editors). Require all editors to drink while editing can come later...
