I think the argument behind deleting this category is
WP:MYSPACE,
which isn't really sexist. I mean, I think it's taking WP:MYSPACE too
far, personally, but still.
Just FYI, I just tried to search for "male wikipedians" and couldn't
find it. Anyone have better luck?
There is no male Wikipedian category. JUst like there aren't "men's
history" classes because history has been written about and by men for
the majority of time ;) It's that same type of thing.

I think Sarah's point was that one could add this category to the
Wikipedia articles on women Wikipedians, and not on their userpages.
Of course, I do not want anybody to put any category on my
userpage too. But if an article about me existed on Wikipedia, it
is not under my control to choose which category that page should
belong to.
And yes, I added Category : Female Wikipedians to my userpage a
few minutes ago :)

Umm, please don't do that. Users themselves should be the
sole deciders of what categories they wish to link to. For
example, I hope nobody puts that category on my userpage, and
if they do it will be removed as soon as I can log in.
Some people deliberately choose not to categorize themselves.

Don't forget, you can also add the category to any women
you might know who have Wikipedia articles and are
Wikipedians.
Such as Sue or Valerie!
