If gender was such a non-issue, then we wouldn't have [affirmative action][1] (in general) or [gender-quotas-by-law][2] in our societies. Doing nothing, or saying there's no issue, is basically been "totally fine" with the "status quo". That's OT and I have no clue how such things apply to volunteer-based organizations like Boost, but lets be honest, the status quo rarely changes w/o being "challenged" a little, often my law. --DD

I am very skeptical any of this applies to online discussions. How can an online male be intimidating to a woman? I suppose physical presence would be a prerequisite for that. I don't even know the gender of some names I see popping up here. Marcelo
