Wikipedia's misogyny is built into its policies, notably the pernicious effects of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS:IDINFO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS:IDINFO and how they punish anyone who dissents from this.
So for example, per this policy, it's impossible to rewrite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dana_Rivers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dana_Rivers to point out the angle of male violence against women, despite there being sources that exist discussing this, because it's forbidden by policy to refer to this male as a male or use sources that describe him as a man. Instead, the pretence that this is the crime of a woman has to be maintained.
- nextaccountic 3y agoBut she is a trans woman, right? How can you say she is male?
- crashmat 3y agoSo you think that because wikipedia guidelines are intolerant of intolerance and don't fit with your personal (bigoted) opinions on trans people that means they are misogynist?
