Was Apache discouraging the participation of female coders?

`` "The list is open to all genders--you might be a woman who wants to become more involved or you might be someone who would just like to help create a welcoming environment," said Anderson in a mailing list posting. ''

Is this an attempt to redress some unfair practice that used to discriminate against females in the past?

How is coding relevant to the differences between the two sexes?

Is this a 'female only' forum ? Are the other AFS forums hostile to females?

strange ?
