Double standard. Where are all the usual voices protesting about "civility police"? Where are all the arbitrators opining that they cannot set objective standards for language?
Beeblebrox used to have an article about "fuck off" in his user space. It didn't get him banned. In fact, he went on to become an administrator and arbitrator.
In the absence of objective standards, subjective standards are emerging, based on gender. Using the f-word, or even criticizing male users, is becoming a male privilege on en.wp. Anyone else who uses the word is "hostile" and exhibiting "battleground behavior". I must also say I am very disappointed in GorillaWarfare's role here.
Maybe, just maybe, instead of just dismissing anything that is said by a woman editor, the arbitration committee should investigate it. I am looking in particular at this one
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring&diff=prev&oldid=631322169 If it is true, there are a huge number of users recruited on external sites, who are not there to build an encyclopedia, that will have huge implications for the survival of women editors on Wikipedia. The arbitration committee is looking at WP:SPA, they should look at WP:MEAT. And they should pay attention to who the ringleaders are, not just the throwaway accounts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Harassment#RfC:_should_the_policy_extend_harassment_to_include_posting_ANY_other_accounts_on_ANY_other_websites.3F that would change the WP:OUTING policy to prohibit all mention of
outside accounts, including Reddit Men's Rights and Reddit Gamergate, "trying to address the issues without being able to talk openly about the evidence is difficult".
