In reply to Pedro.

No one is asking for special privileges Pedro. Women face tremendous sexism and it becomes overwhelming to constantly face hostility and have your work deleted. The Wiki founders see this as a problem and want this changed. The Wiki foundation has publicly stated that they want more women editors but for this to happen the environment needs to change. Anyone committed to progress should not have a problem with improving Wikipedia.

“I think many advocates felt like it was pointless to try and change it-or didn’t have the same kind of time and energy around it that these majority male editors have to maintain sexist and incorrect posts”.

So, yet again, people not willing to work as hard want to ask for special privileges. Typical.
