This an interesting line of thought. If you look at our interface, does it
look like it was designed by a man or a woman? Basically, we have the
traditional IBM colour scheme: white, grey and blue, and lots of straight
lines and boxes. There is little red, green, pink or yellow, nothing curvy.
Everything is very functional. There is no place to socialise (WP:Café?).
I respond:
I understand and respect Andreas's larger point, but we have to be careful
of falling into traps further down this line of thinking that will lead us
to something like this:

(I remember how this sketch went but, for some reason, I have never gotten
it to load from this site, which seems to be the only place online I can
find it).
