[Gendergap] A pet peeve / cliche

[Susan Spencer]

@Sarah,

March sounds good, but it might be hard to pull off a
project to create a "Women Post to Wikipedia" month
in 2 weeks. Could we get a little more lead time?

@Interface discussion:

It would be great if Wikipedia's interface were improved,
but it isn't part of the gendergap problem.  To say that
it particularly affects the posting of women more than men
is is pure conjecture.  The interface affects everyone -
that's not conjecture.

So, enough of the "women are ____ because ____" statements.
It's demeaning and humiliating, so stop.
