Perhaps colleagues in this list will be interested to know about Owen Barder's campaign. He is encouraging men to sign up to the following pledge: “At a public conference I won’t serve on a panel of two people or more unless there is at least one woman on the panel, not including the Chair.”
Colleagues wishing to begin a debate about this can do so on Chora.
Colleagues who prefer to email me and complain (about this email; about the limits of this campaign; or about what they believe I should do instead of sending this email) can instead make a donation to Refuge, and save their email efforts:

Kind regards, and a (belated) Happy International Women's Day.
