Sigh. Of course they only took my two quotes about how there's
sexism on Wikipedia, and not a word of my explanation about how
categorization on Wikipedia works and how half of what Ms.
Filipacchi wrote was misleading. I also talked extensively about the
"real" sexist problems on Wikipedia (whitewashing of rape and
domestic violence articles by men's rights groups,
over-representation of female porn stars, under-representation of
female academics, etc.) and how these issues have been largely
ignored by the media. Of course they were still ignored, so I guess
it was wasted effort :P
