Women who do not want to interact on these terms, with individuals who are
quite probably minors, are being silenced. I have heard that professional
women are being recruited for Wikipedia, women whose employers would
ordinarily be expected to protect them from a 'hostile work place', but
they are being required to post their real identities on their talk pages,
along with the names of their employers. and a COI form statement. They
are also required to sign a non-disclosure agreement that prevents them
from revealing any harassment they experience in Wikipedia, or from even
revealing they have been required to sign an NDA. These women will join
Wikipedia, and listen to the pitch and eat the bagels, and Wikipedia gets
to count them as female editors, but very few of them go on to make that
second edit, because it's their professional reputation on the line.
If Wikipedia wants women editors they are going to have to come to terms
with this.
This is a very inflammatory thing to say, Neotarf, and I need to insist
that you show some proof of this. Links to discussions or requirements,
please. This is far too sensationalistic to allow it to sit here without
serious evidence.
