It has nothing to do with "segregration". What's wrong with encouraging one of the most underepresented minorities in KDE development from contributing?

Women as percentage of World's Population - 51.72% - (Dec 2001)
Women as percentage of KDE's contributor Population (less than 5%, conservative estimate)

It's important to encourage women to help out in KDE development. If women had not been encouraged in other fields, we would have seen even more male-domination in the world than we have now.

Look, if _people_ are interested in KDE, they will help and contribute, there is nothing more or less to it.
