[Womoz] Our research on women in FLOSS

There are duplicate questions in g and h now. Also I'd add to h "personal
conflict with another contributor" which actually ties in to L which I still
feel very strongly needs to be changed.
If you asked a man what types of conflicts he has with another person he
would never list those options, he would list things like rudeness,
incompetence, delays in correspondence. Women don't have conflicts that
aren't based on their gender? Sexism should be in there once, not 3 times.
Also I'd like to have a write in field after that "if you checked sexism can
you please describe an incident" I'd like to see a difference between "we
didn't get along," "my work was rejected" and "they called me a stupid woman
and told me to get back to the kitchen" all of which can be attributed to
sexism, though only the last one should automatically be assumed.
