Women and gender diversity on Wikimedia

Hi, I found your user-id on the contributor list of m:Women and gender diversity on Wikimedia, and since you have a talk page on this wiki where I still have not lost access, I thought I would try to ask you why the WMF maintains all its Gender-gap type activities on a META, a wiki that is controlled by several admins who do not value contributors to this issue. I believe that if activities related to the gendergap were carried out on a wiki that is more accessible to users it would greatly facilitate these activities

It is my intuition, though I cannot prove it, that women and feminists are more likely to be blocked than men on wmf-wikis in general. I personally have witnessed the blocks of several. It is therefore doubly important to carry out coordination of gendergap issues on wikis that are controlled by a more tolerant group of admins, those less likely to block users for imagined wrongs. Meta admins are the least tolerant group of admins I am yet to meet on any wmf-wiki. I have recently been punitively blocked on Meta for the third time, after complaining about being blocked out-of-process by a Steward who was not an admin at the time. (see:https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=User%3AOttawahitech&type=block)

My current home-wiki is very small and it is hard to find others to communicate with on gendergap issues. Thanks in advance for any thoughts on the matter.

@Katherine (WMF) congratulations as interim ED of the Wikimedia Foundation. You have a Flow enabled user talk page here. Cross wiki notifications have launched today. You probably received a notification after visiting another wiki. Enjoy your flow!
