I can't make sense of this at all. We're talking about the woman/people 
ratio in the pd community. If you talk about something gender-independent, 
it ought to not change the ratio. So we're not talking about 
gender-independent things here (though perhaps we talk about things that 
we wish would be gender-independent...)

So are you saying that women have less knowledge of English, or that women 
have trouble learning outside of a teacher-student relationship, or that 
women think that they deserve mature documentation before they even start 
learning, or that women are less persistent, or that they are not 
motivated to get into that discipline because... I don't know. You will 
tell us what it is like.
