I'm not overjoyed by the "females-only" thing either, so how about we call on
the WikiChix to open up their fora to both genders? I feel it's a little
premature to start lobbying for them to be hurled from the Foundation's
hosting. Wikipedia stands to benefit from initiatives that make it more
female-friendly.
