I'm actually on this list :) and was just thinking out loud as well to see if I could understand the incident since I was seeing pretty strong claims (both "Wikipedia is sexist" and "this is journalism run amok.") For instance, people continue to report that Filipacchi is a reporter for NYT when these were op-eds.

And nobody, of course, addresses the class issue: that Filipacchi is a privileged scion of one of the largest global publishing companies, and is not accustomed to having her own self-interest questioned in a classic WP:BOOMERANG fashion by vulgar Wikipedians nobody who MATTERS ever heard of.
