There's absolutely no harm in coming to a finding that, say, 80% of the US-American female contributors prefer the filter while only 30% of the non-US-American female contributors do. Just like there is no harm in stating that 86% of the core contributors to de-WP do not want to see the filter in their project. It really depends on what you do with these numbers. If you use them and try to understand why the two groups feel in such a drastically different way and how you wan to deal with that, then there can't be anything wrong with that, can there? You claim that Milos implied that "if you're a woman from the US, your opinion is invalid", and I have not seen anything like that. It strikes me as funny that you would complain about his post being aggressive and alienating when your post could be construed as exactly that.
