 addressing the gendergap, however in my limited editing experience I do at

Hi,

I edit Wikipedia a lot.  I probably spend more time than I should editing
Wikipedia.  Can I ask where there is a prevalence of pornography on
Wikipedia?  I honestly can't think of a single time I have come across it
when I wasn't directly looking for it.  Misogny to a degree, yes.
Discrimination against women's topics and topics outside the United States,
youbetcha.  But pornography?  Maybe I just don't edit articles where
pornography is very prevalent?
