It's a shame that my posts have been so bothersome for the list, I never knew that I was only making things worse, or not helping at all.
I, for one, do not find your posts bothersome. I find no problem with having one gender-neutral article for barbers and hairdressers or for pimps and madams, but I do find it better to have *two* good articles on the respective subjects.
I agree. The point of Wikipedia/Wikimedia as a whole is to have high-quality articles, and any way we can do that, and do something about the gender bias in both projects, the better. I also understand Sarah's defenseness. It seems that content editors get the short end of the stick, to the point that many good editors leave. Keep up the good work, Sarah.
