You're right, I should have qualified that a bit more. After all, I am a male on the other side of the issue. But a group of male editors are dismissing the documented accomplishments of a professional in a traditionally female-oriented occupation, insisting they are less important than her naked pictures. This could easily serve as a case study for a gender theorist. I don't think it's going too far to say that sexism, or at least male privilege and myopia, are in play here. _______________________________________________ Gendergap mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap
