I didn't mean to imply that you hadn't thought about the issue for 30 seconds, just wanted to pat myself on the back for remembering to do so, and wished I had done so earlier. Sorry that it came across as derisive.
Also, I agree with you that legitimate efforts to encourage more women to participate are likely to resemble stereotyping and draw criticism. It will be difficult to distinguish in advance which such efforts really are counterproductive stereotyping, so feedback and criticism is valuable information we should be looking for.
ADDED: Thank you for being very specific about what you found derisive in my comment, which gave me a chance to explain what I meant.
Thanks for your understanding, and sorry for being on hair-trigger alert :-/
What I want to avoid is every suggestion being met with, "That's a stereotype, and I as a non-neurotypical female don't like that, so shut up about this, sexist", which (though not in that exact form) I see all too often here (and see all too often encouraged here).
