I really love the first sentence here [1]:
"Wikipe-tan is one of the personifications of Wikipedia."
So if you see the following pictures (my favourites are this [2] and [3]) and see a child-eyed girl in french-roommade-dress and hold-ups cleaning so it says a lot about the picture of women a lot of Wikipedians (both genders!) accepted as normal.
Very diagnostically conclusive for the picture of females in Wikipedia is this [4]
But maybe I am just a comic-banause because I do not like funny mangas or animes. I am sorry about this... I worked very long in jobs women were just scored by optical an sexual clichees, maybe this made me a little bit touchy...
