[Gendergap] Pimp

Hi everyone,

I'm doing a bit of fiddling with some articles related to sexuality and 
came across an article about a madam [[Polly Adler]]. The word "madam" 
was linked to [[pimp]]. While the article opens mentioning that a woman 
who runs a brothel is called a madam, it's an extremely male dominated 
article and focuses on the violent and sordid world of "being a pimp," 
for lack of better words.

I, frankly, would /love/ to see madam have it's own article. Perhaps we 
should discuss it on the "pimp" page or just BE BOLD. (I don't have time 
to start a well fleshed out madam article, but, I'd be interested in 
perhaps collaborating with others to do it.)

Thoughts?

-Sarah
