The MIT vandal is back, vandalizing [[Woman]] with his misogynistic work. I've repeatedly asked him to tell us what his information means and to give us supporting documentation, but he refuses, and continues to put his "trademark" words into the document. He's logged in twice tonight, first as Qcix, second as Abcde.

INFORMATION: There's a POST at 14/Feb/2003:02:39:10 in the access_logs. This corresponds with an edit by Qcix. The ip address of that edit resolves to scadm28-19231.fas.harvard.edu.
QUESTION: This is the disputed text: - * More women than men suffer from [[anorexia]] and [[bulimia]] - * More women than men suffer from [[borderline personality disorder|borderline]], [[histrionic personality disorder]] and [[hysteria]]
Are these things not true? Why should they be omitted from the article, if true?
It's the exact same wording as the text inserted by the MIT vandal. I asked the person inserting it to give us some information to prove the assertion, and I asked if it was true for the entire world, or only certain cultures. The person declined to do so.

The information is not misogynistic, it is true. Labelling this person a vandal does a disservice to the Wikipedia. The traditional treatment in the West for hysteria was for the doctor to massage a womans genitals by hand until she got some relief. The most extreme forms of hysteria are not seen very much in modern times; some attribute this to a greater interest in giving sexual satisfaction to women. The milder forms of hysteria still abound; if males have a propensity for hysteria, it is socialized out of them at a very young age.

Bah... this is definitely not a neutral point of view. Many people would even question the existence of "hysteria" as an actual thing rather than a construct created by a largely-male medical establishment, aside from those who would simply question the neutrality of the largely-male medical establishment in deciding when a woman is being "hysterical" and when she is not.
Anyway, regardless of whether it's "true" or not, I don't think it's vandalism.

A misogynist, but not a vandal. Anorexia, bulimia, borderline personality disorder,, and histrionic personality disorder are generally more common in women, according to my wife, the psychotherapist.
She adds, however, that hysteria is the NPOV ringer here, being a 19th century diagnosis that is no longer used (nor is the treatment mentioned above). Even in the 19th, men were diagnosed with it, but not given the analogous treatment.
More common in men than women: anti-social personality disorder. The prisons are full of them, she says. Also, most psychopaths and sociopaths are men.

But is anorexia a female-constant in all cultures? Is it even as prevalent in Europe as it is in the US?

Jonathan, this person is a true vandal. We aren't talking about a single controversial edit, but an ongoing series of attacks, including cursing and so on.
Last Saturday, he was hopping from ip number to ip number, userid to userid, defacing pages left and right.
Your toleration of vandalism is noted.
