This is exactly where my problem comes from : en-wiki is not "wikipedia" but one of many wikipedias, and wikipedias is not "Wikimedia project". Just to illustrate how the discussion pimp vs madam is cultural-biased, in French wikipedia, the inter-wiki for pimp is "proxénétisme" ("hustling") and the article is gender-neutral.

It would be interesting to have stats of all wikipedias comparing, for instance, the number of article about women scientists compared to article about men scientists (and the same for actor/actresses, sportmen/sportwomen).

As far as I know, we have more than 700 projects... en.wiki can be the biggest, but is not the only one. And even if we changed all the articles in this language, would not do much for the other several million woman around the world. And we are trying to solve the gender gap in all the projects here, not only in en.wiki and not only in USA.
