"History did it" is never a good reason to support marginalization. Especially when there are other, more neutral ways to split up "American Novelists".

  I don't think sdoowpilihp said anything about supporting marginalization. It was just simply pointed out that the chosen hierarchy of the Wikipedia page could be seen as a cultural artifact of centuries of sexism.

    Propagating that cultural artifact into a new era by basing Wikipedia's division on gender is supporting marginalization, at least tacitly.

      Merely mentioning the fact that something is the case is very different from supporting it.
