New option in sign up form

Following the update to MediaWiki 1.18 which have brought a very important feature related to gender-specific messages I was thinking about including a drop-down menu to choose your gender in the registration form. It would still be available in user preferences but we would let users choose their gender just since the beginning.

What do you think?

The option was:

Undisclosed
Female
Male

yes... that would be good idea.

Wow, it seems a little bit controversial, but I think it isn't!

You mean Ian Baker comment? well yes, MediaWiki is not Facebook after all, but... in some country gender is serious problem(like arab).
Well as for myself it's not that big deal, i would like to support your idea Tolino.

Well, I know that those problems are possible in some countries, but there might be some neutral solution to this.
