The second "memory hole" (in the black t-shirt) seems to be Nina
Gerlach (I *think* but I'm not sure if this is
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Nina). I can't make out who is
in the blue top, to Delphine's left.

On misogyny and sexism as engrained practices - it's still quite a
sorry state of the world - I wonder if the Wikichix group has
developed any resources for the wider community to ponder, and to take
action?
