My thought, first on reading only your email and confirmed by reading the
talk page, would be that your edit probably brought the other editor's
attention to something he thought was undue/poorly sourced/whatever, and
that he removed it because he noticed it then, not because you'd touched it
before that. Maybe the other editor was right, maybe they were wrong, but
I'm going to have to agree with the other commenters so far that your
emails aren't really making clear how this has anything to do with either
Clinton being male or you being female.
Absent any apparent evidence that it has to do with those things, I think
you're taking rather a leap of bad-faith logic to ascribe this to sexism or
patriarchy, rather than to a run-of-the-mill content/BLP dispute just like
any other.

How about we do a thought experiment. Imagine I had written the following
and see if you get it:
*I happened to notice last night that a Famous Person article had
"Allegations of beating up homosexuals/African Americans/Straight White
Males/Wikipedia Editors/Whatever." as a subsection of "Public image".
Thinking it's a bit more than than
that, I just moved it up to a full section.
Within a few hours an editor completely removed any sectioning, leaving
it under public image.

Thoughts??
