fyi, in switzerland there are 2 mio readers and below 10000 donors ... this
means more than 99% are not giving money.

Dear all;
We have heard many times that most Wikipedians are male, but have you
heard
about gender and fundraising? Some data from a
2010 study[1] and a 2011
German study[2] (question 20th of 22). People have said that Wikipedia
is a
sexist place which excludes women to edit. Looks
like women neither are
interested on editing nor funding free knowledge.
Is WMF working to increase female donors just like female editors?
I think the first step would be to try and figure out if women are
visiting the site and not donating or just not visiting at all.
So, the first step would be to try and figure out if women are visiting the
site and not editing or just not visiting at all, before saying nonsense
about sexism and Wikipedia community.
You would also want to make sure there really is
a significant
imbalance and that it's not just that men are more likely to fill out
the survey form.
That affects to all surveys, again.
Looks like people only care about surveys which say what they want to read.
