The thread wasn't  about  gender bias in general, it was about the creation
of the list. Feel free to start a thread about gender bias in general, but
don't expect it to be discussed in general in reaction to a solution that
ain't a solution at all.

As the examples given did not do so, but instead *invalidated*

Again, specific solutions are something different than general problems.

So why are you dismissing it? I think "it doesn't help" is the best ground
for dismissal I can think of.
