[Gendergap] Commons Village Pump convo about "female politicans" category.

[Sarah Stierch]

A Commons user began deleting the category "Female politicians" and it was
brought up on the Village Pump.

The user even asked what the point of the category was, which entertains me.

It's gotten to the point where someone declares the concept of "female ____"
sexist, and then heads into the way of "but there are categories for
"females with cats" and "males with cats."

uh huh..
