[Gendergap] Gender neutrality template

[Sarah Stierch]

Just a reminder, we have a conversation started here about it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Feminism#Gender_neutrality_template

I also brought up the use of some templates used for gender studies. If we
can start contributing to the wiki about this, that'd be wonderful!

Thanks everyone for your input and Jayen466 for taking the initiative,

-Sarah
