If you want to change five things, it can be often easier to start by asking to change only one or two things instead of demanding all five at once. If you ask for all five things to be changed, you can be easily dismissed as a radical and "not one of us." If you ask for only one, you can convince the group its in "<i>our</i> best interests" to change. This isn't just about women in gaming. This applies to a lot of issues.
