Irony?? As the meme says, &quot;You keep using that word and I don&#39;t think you know what it means.&quot;  - <a href="http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/17230566.jpg" target="_blank">http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/17230566.jpg</a><div>


<br></div><div>I think the word hostile is more suitable. There&#39;s a difference between constructive criticism of an idea, and calling it &#39;idiotic&#39; and &#39;stupid.&#39; While I think you make a good point, it&#39;s completely eclipsed by the words you chose. <div>


<br></div><div>So, on to my constructive criticism. Haven&#39;t had the time to read the digest lately, so my apologies if I&#39;m out of the loop. But the name &quot;Wiki Loves Women&quot; makes me cringe. It reminds me of all the times I&#39;ve ever heard a guy who&#39;s been called out on his sexism say &quot;But I love women! I have a mother! And a sister!&quot; It says to me: trying too hard. Pandering. It makes me want to roll my eyes and go &quot;yeah right.&quot; Maybe this is just a nitpick, and perhaps I am the only person who sees it that way. Just my opinion.</div>


<div><br></div><div>On the other hand, as an amateur photographer who is always looking to get more experience photographing people, this seems like an awesome idea in terms of trade. I often photograph friends&#39; events for free - they get photos, and I get experience. Targeting women photographers could be a way to  draw more women to wiki as contributors and perhaps help to cultivate a different environment in commons.<br>
