[Gendergap] Gender neutrality template

[carolmooredc at verizon.net]

There are other more powerful groups that would use the precedent to 
create a template that would censor a number of articles that already 
are heavily patrolled and censored by organized groups of editors (many 
of them surely paid, not that they'd ever admit it).

Instead use the POV template and make editors think by explaining the 
POV template on the talk page. And mention the problem on Wikiproject 
Feminism.
