diversity

FWIW, everything that Sue says about men vs. women is probably true. But it's also completely incorrect in the following sense: Everything that women suffer in exclusion, men suffer in silence. There are lots of men who reluctantly tolerate the environment on Wikipedia. Don't mistake their (perhaps socialized) ability to do so as a sign that they prefer it. Everything that would make Wikipedia more 'female friendly'--WYSIWYG, clearly organized tasks, a non-ruckus consensus process, dealing with aggressive editors, etc would make the lives of men a lot easier too.

Just because a man fights, doesn't mean he likes to. Just because a woman quilts, doesn't mean that's her preference. We should focus on improving the product universally and not be overly tempted to believe in these very tempting and even accurate gender dichotomies. Flame wars never built an encyclopedia.

I'll just say this for emphasis: user interface, user interface, user interface. When editing Wikipedia is as intuitive as sewing a quilt (which is not even that intuitive), women will find their way in droves, and the men who have already populated the site will like it that much more for many reasons.
