I'd like to draw attention to my recent blog post for Women4Wikiepdia.net titled Men v Women at http://women4wikipedia.blogspot.com/ Excerpt:

"If we are going to call men out on their behaviour as agents of the patriarchy then we must also call out ourselves. Men are no less influenced and controlled by patriarchal culture, traditions and systems as are women. I would go so far as to say that it is unrealistic of us to expect men to free themselves of the rewards and punishments of patriarchy when we as women find it so difficult not to play along, enjoy the rewards and participate in the same punishments."

There is also a forum for women linked to the campaign home page at http://women4wikipedia.net
