Wow. What a ridiculous way to say "yes". Ive always found you to be switched on and relevant in the past; but looking over your contributions to those AFDs it feels like your certain the aim is to remove these articles because we are anti-women. And for no other reason.

This is the sort of thing that puts women off editing Wikipedia and I am happy to call it out.

Lord knows I can't sort out the feelings and frustrations in this thread, but I have a reaction to this statement:

"This is the sort of thing that puts women off editing Wikipedia and I am happy to call it out."

This is a speculative claim from someone who seems to be attempting to speak for an entire group of people to which I don't think they belong by birth or nature (and pardon me if I am wrong in that assumption). My point here is that it is a cruel dig toward someone (Carol) who very clearly works toward equalizing gender issues on Wikipedia.

As a woman, I would ask you not to speak for me when criticizing other women or deciding what would put me off of editing Wikipedia. For me personally, this wouldn't even be on the radar. Thank you.
