Wikipedia:How sexist is Wikipedia?
This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
Wikipedia is supposed to be a new type of dictionary, one that transcends older conceptions, such as sexism.
But how is Wikipedia less sexist than other sources? What have Wikipedians done to create more neutral content?
It would be amazing to see this page replaced by a list of ways in which Wikipedia is unbiased and not sexist and may become more so. Wikipedia should have measures of how sexist or not, they are. Without that we are simply a siren of sexist misrepresentation. The closest information is at the article "Gender bias on Wikipedia".
