Yah, that's what I meant; newbie ignorance isn't a problem. Our attitude to
newbie ignorance is the problem :P. This is something I think all new
editors are at risk of (being shouted at and falling off the grid as a
result) - I'm not sure why it would affect women more, or if it does at all.

Newbie ignorance is never a problem. All newbies are,
by nature, ignorant
of our policies and practices. We all started out that way. And the great
thing about wikis is that that is okay and you can still contribute. If
anything, the problem is intolerance of newbies. (That may be what you
really meant anyway, but I think it is better to turn that phrase "newbie
ignorance" around.)

"Typical response from some women" should be "a response from a
woman". So
the problem, then, is newbie ignorance about our rules and policies?

Just wanted to share. Yesterday I put something
on my facebook re: gender
gap. My friend from high school, who totally would be a woman who would
enjoy editing an encyclopedia, posted the following:
"Whenever I edit it usually gets taken down but some OCD nerd, that
probably wants no one touching "their" site so I stopped bothering."
