But it isn't.  Refusing to publicly acknowledge that fact
isn't going to change it.

I think it potentially *is* helpful to identify those
projects, as examples where women have wanted to be
involved and have either found no barriers or else
have surmounted them.  Being able to tap the experiences
of the women on those projects could be incredibly
valuable; I hope someone will contact them and try
to get them interested in this list.

*Not* listing projects that *don't* have women involved
is a far cry from claiming they're hostile.
