Re: [Gendergap] How to increase the diversity of Wikimedia technical contributors and staff?

I think Wikipedia editors should be a higher priority than technical contributors. If one looks at most of the STEM community, it appears to be a systematic problem in underrepresentation. On the other hand, in the editing environment, there is an underrepresentation of women identifying editors

Re: [Gendergap] Defining harassment: the first empirical investigation into the nature of creepiness

We shouldn't conflate "creepy" and "harassment" at all, to be honest. Sure, plenty of things that are creepy are also harassment, but plenty of things that are considered creepy are just poor social skills (laughing inappropriately) and may even be due to health conditions (greasy skin).
