Can you please explain how this trivial content dispute (if you can even go so far as to call it a dispute) is a reminder of the "true status" of women and their concerns on Wikipedia?
If you could keep feminist rhetoric out of your answer, it would be great. Sorry to call it that, but your initial post was nothing but rhetoric and isn't helpful at all in helping us males to understand exactly what the issue is. I don't see anyone making a point of you being female in the short discussion on the talk page; merely disagreeing with a female on Wikipedia does not mean that the editors are sexist, anti-feminist, whatever -- sometimes a dispute is just a dispute. Unfortunately, you have now brought the editors into question on a public forum, and insinuated that they are sexist, anti-feminist, so I think it is your responsibility to explain your position succinctly.
Cheers,
