I spent most of yesterday NOT looking at the news, making my husband turn off the TV when the news came on, and not logging in to any online experience where I was likely to run into video related to this. It is what I do, as a matter of course, to make it through the day without triggering the memories of terror I experienced as a result of being involved in a very violent episode in the past.
This has nothing to do with Wikipedia, Wikimedia or the WMF. The fact that this man killed both a male and a female former colleague strongly indicate that his problem was not gender-driven, that it was driven by the fact that these former colleagues had complained about him in the past. That people with this sort of sociopathy use gender-specific descriptive nouns is pretty much irrelevant, and I'm hard-pressed to understand why you think it important to start a conversation about the utterings of someone this mentally imbalanced to show that there is a gender gap *anywhere*, let alone here. This guy was a powder keg, and he was striking out at anyone whom he believed had caused him harm. I do not believe that his actions were motivated by sexism.
