Nice to see this being quietly upvoted.
But the actual discussion thread is useless, which is not much of a surprise. It was always going to attract the type of people who are discussed in the article.

Why do you think it's sexist for a woman counter the intense, entrenched anti-woman sexism on Wikipedia? http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/10/how-wi... http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/bitwise/2014/12/wik... http://www.fastcompany.com/3041871/strong-female-lead/more-l...
You only need to go to Wikipedia to learn if it is hostile to women or not. Article like these are intentionally planted by vested interests to pump-up support for the movement and have absolutely no basis in reality.
Do we have gender studies graduates as modders? Seriously, this is getting annoying. I actually have a profitable start up that works in this area so I know my shit. Hackers really really need to kick this stupid stuff out soon or we all will be left for the worse.
