Gender Equality: Wikipedia

So there's a NY Times article out yesterday about how Wikipedia has about 13% female contributors. Sue Gardener, the exec director of the Wikimedia foundation, who runs Wikipedia says she wants that number to be about 25%. I find this whole thing funny, there is a good quote from her in an interview about why she thinks there aren't many female contributors.

“Everyone brings their crumb of information to the table,” she said. “If they are not at the table, we don’t benefit from their crumb.” 

What the fuck is this bitch talking about? Here, I'll help her out, I'm not the director of a huge foundation, so I don't have to be PC.

The reason only 13% of contributors to Wikipedia are women is because guys are nerds. And I mean, it's not a bad thing for women. There just aren't as many of them who are cocky fact-loving computer nerds who want to share their random knowledge with the masses. They are actually in the real world doing shit. Like cooking and raising kids and making me that fucking sammich I asked for ten minutes ago, fuck.

Really women, this is the equal right you want?


But seriously, fact-nerds are a subset of the overall nerd hierarchy. And they are mostly men. Who do nothing but research the Cuban Missile Crisis because they think that knowing a lot about one topic will make up for the fact that they are 34-year-olds who have never even touched a real vagina. Women on the other hand, don't lock themselves inside researching useless shit and then thinking it makes them real people. They just comment on Facebook stuff.

I'm just saying, women, there are parts of this world you should be proud not to take part in. You don't fight on the front lines of wars, you don't contribute to the useful awesomeness that is Wikipedia, but who gives a fuck. Wikipedia is for looking up shit, not contributing to. Silly women, nerding is for fat pasty dudes.
