I was actually wondering if Matt had much experience of the often discussed "toxic environment" reported for some of the Wikipedias, and cited as a reason for low female participation. Perhaps I should have asked more directly. Cheers, Peter

I think the question is only being asked because you're displaying a profound lack of understanding of how Wikipedia and Wikimedia work, not only in your recent proposal, but in commenting on this sensitive topic.
You're entitled to your opinion, of course, and you've been polite in expressing it—that goes a long way, at least with me. So please don't think that it's a matter of demanding a certain number of WikiCred points before the WikiGods will let you sit at the WikiGrownups table, or anything like that. Just understand that this issue has a lot of people on edge, and at this rate it won't be long before "politely ignored" becomes less ignored and less polite.
