Well, it is an excellent opportunity to talk without thinking and get into trouble, but as I seldom bother with IRC, I would generally be a no-show. I would go ahead, but unless a regular crew of women shows up it will be a bust. I think we have to get over the idea that bringing up some issue is canvassing. It would be if there was an enforceable demand that each of us take a particular action, but as experience shows, social pressure does not get you far on Wikipedia.
