So we'll continue the time-honored tradition of fighting gender biases
simply by performing more prejudiced actions.

Two wrong don't make a right, and I'd like to invite all my friends in
Wikimedia to both decline membership in clubs build around overt
gender discrimination and to reject their biases by refusing to give
voice to their members in our overall community. Subtle biases can be
hard to deal with, but creating a club around overt discrimination is
not a solution.
