Risker, agree with all three of your ideas. Q: Has any research been done re why people who grew up as girls take the leap of faith at all, in which way they arm themselves and what makes them stay on and remain active?
my guess is that the official stats about the participation of "women" and "men" as editors or otherwise are inaccurate (to say the least), and maybe simply wrong for lack of the right data. For a short explanation of my doubts please refer to the passage on "what stats hide" here: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/gendergap/2012-May/002625.html Claudia On Fri, 1 Jun 2012 21:09:30 -0400, Risker wrote > John, I'd be interested in research on why women who do take the leap of > faith and edit, ultimately withdraw.
