Are we seriously suggesting that women, as a class, are not editing
Wikipedia because sometimes editors use naughty words?
It's just Brandon, Pete, Joseph, Daniel, Fred (and now me) ruling the discussion on women's needs.

That's hilarious :-)
But seriously, personally I think it's fine. It's silencing and counterproductive when people try to deny each other's experiences (like, a man telling a woman she's over-reacting, or whatever). But I think people trying to imagine the world from someone else's perspective can only be a good thing. Empathy is good.
And also: that was really funny :-)
Thanks, Sue
Hey man. Leave my name out of this fight; I just suggested an alternative term.
Anyone who has met me knows that I speak like a drunken sailor on leave and have no problems with language.
