[Gendergap] Barnstars!

[carolmooredc at verizon.net]

I'd collected my favorite Barnstars and was trying to motivate myself to 
give out to a bunch of editors have associated with over time. Then Ryan 
made it so EASY and I went on a spree tonight.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_awards has a  
WikiProject Gender Studies Award "For editors who make significant 
contributions to gender studies articles that expand Wikipedia’s 
knowledge about gender, gender theory, feminisms, masculinities and/or 
sexuality studies."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Barnstars could probably use a 
topical barnstar on "issues of interest to women" or something.
