Logically, we have the solution: If Board really cares what Concerned Women for America think, let it, please, implement that filter on English Wikipedia and leave the rest of the projects alone -- if they don't ask for the filter explicitly. As members of that organization probably don't know any other language except English, everybody will be happy. Except the core editors of English Wikipedia, of course. But Board doesn't care about them, anyway; which means that English Wikipedia is reasonable scapegoat for Wikimedia movement to please sexually impaired Americans and others.
I think this moves beyond just one organization. As a "concerned feminist" who "lives in America" the idea of calling the women who support the referendum, aren't into bad porn on Commons, and tacky use of sexualized images on articles as "educational" when they really aren't, "sexually impaired" - is beyond sexist. Unless, perhaps, I'm mis-understanding your post.
Thanks to Fred, I've realized that it seems that you misread my email. My sarcastic example related to particular organization, not to "concerned women/feminists from America". The organization is called "Concerned Women for America" [1]. They started the whole drama in 2008 [2].
