Sounds like you’ve identified why there isn’t a simple solution.
Same reason there isn’t often a simple solution to equal representation in anything. Maybe women aren’t interested because they don’t know about it, because they don’t feel welcome or because they aren’t interested. But maybe they aren’t interested because they were raised in a society that didn’t encourage women to do that kind of thing with their time.
Generating a truely equal experience so that everyone feels able to explore whatever they want with their time is very hard and will probably never be achieved but encouraging under represented groups can help overcome societal biases and barriers.
…what would that be? how do you encourage women to volunteer to edit wikipedia?
Forced sex change for 30% - 40% of Wikipedia editors, duh
Why can’t they encourage themselves? Women aren’t helpless maidens in distress who need men to save them from every problem.
