bout a year ago, the Wikimedia Foundation, the organization that runs Wikipedia, collaborated on a study of Wikipedia’s contributor base and discovered that it was barely 13 percent women


There are only so many subjects for them to write about pertaining to makeup application, how to snag a man, etc.  Cosmo pretty much has all of it covered.

Sue Gardner, the executive director of the foundation, has set a goal to raise the share of female contributors to 25 percent by 2015, but she is running up against the traditions of the computer world and an obsessive fact-loving realm that is dominated by men and, some say, uncomfortable for women.


Well no shit.  What do they expect?  Start banning male contributors to meet that goal?  Or do we need to conscript some women to do shit they don't want to do?

Sometimes their ideas of equality are idiotic.  If women don't want to moderate Wikipedia they shouldn't have to.  Down with the Feminist Moderation Conscription Plan!

God forbid that people working on an encyclopedia be "fact-loving."
