If people got the idea that the project was male-dominated, it was due to the poor description of the project in the first place. However, even if the project was mainly women but still had people (no gender prescribed) who took part in it from the perspective that was offered as definitive, then there is still a problem.

Right now, we're arguing about something that isn't going to take place in the future, so there's nothing to argue about. My point was that there definitely were aspects of potential social pressure that should be thought about, both in the feelees and the feelers.
