Both of those pages are unclear about what "the problem" is.  If you
were more explicit, it might be helpful.

The first contains three questions, the first of which is quite
strangely worded.  "Do X's get extra attention because they are Y?"
(where there is no necessary connection between being X and Y), is
ambiguous.  If the answer is "yes", would that mean that they get
extra attention because they are X, because they are Y, or because
both?

The second and thing questions refer to "how to address other
problems" without saying what the first problem is or what kinds of
other problems are meant.

The second page refers to "the debian-women problem" as if it were
obvious that there is a problem in the first place; without saying
what exactly that problem is, it proceeds to offer its own diagnosis
of "the problem" (whatever that is), and then asks the candidates for
where the stand on "these topics and this issue", where the latter is
still not specified, and the former is five separate topics.
