Well, what I'd like to say is that some of these arguments do make sense. While men shouldn't get over-sensitive over perceived "harassment" of them, neither should women just whine about harassment.--Eat me, I'm an azuki At 2015-10-04 01:29:33, "Carol Moore dc" carolmooredc@verizon.net wrote:
The relevance is that some wikipedia editors would like to shut us all up about harassment and civility and have made or will increase making these kinds of arguments...
Already made: "I'm a serious contributor with 100 contributions a day and I shouldn't have to put up with petty nonsense about civility and harassment."
"These women are just oversensitive and have to "man up" and take it."
New variations could be made:
"I'm scared of making my 100 contributions a day cause I might get accused of harassment if there are any women on that article."
"These women and their false accusations are scaring away dozens of top contributors..." etc.
"I hope the women editing here won't start screaming harassment and start scaring away big contributors who put so much important material in the encyclopedia."
"This woman complaining about harassment at ANI is just part of a pack of feminists world wide who are scaring men so badly they are hurting themselves and wikipedia..."
etc.

From having looked only at the headlines:
I really don't see the direct relevance of these to this list.
Consider the sources: a British newspaper so notorious for its
sympathies to the Conservative Party and its associated politics that it's known informally as the Torygraph, and an American tabloid owned by Rupert Murdoch and known for similar politics.
