I'd like to draw attention to my recent blog post for Women4Wikiepdia.net titled Men v Women at <a href="http://women4wikipedia.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://women4wikipedia.blogspot.com/</a><br>
Excerpt:<br>
<br>
"If we are going to call men out on their behaviour as agents of the<br>
patriarchy then we must also call out ourselves. Men are no less<br>
influenced and controlled by patriarchal culture, traditions and systems<br>
as are women. I would go so far as to say that it is unrealistic of us<br>
to expect men to free themselves of the rewards and punishments of<br>
patriarchy when we as women find it so difficult not to play along,<br>
enjoy the rewards and participate in the same punishments."<br>
<br>
There is also a forum for women linked to the campaign home page at <a href="http://women4wikipedia.net" target="_blank">http://women4wikipedia.net</a><br>
