- Yeah, this is just offensive.--Gen. Quon (talk) 00:34, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
- While I do oppose this idea, I do not think it is offensive. It would be difficult for you to avoid seeming hypocritical arguing that this is so when you are, I expect, supportive of its counterpart, WikiProject Women. -Shankarsivarajan (talk) 17:23, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
- It's all about power dynamics; this suggestion was basically reaffirming the status quo, and thus making a mockery of feminism and by extension true equality. Hence, offensive.--Gen. Quon (talk) 15:03, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

- I agree. totally belongs on unwikipedia of some farse website. This is supposed to be a comedy or parody, but I am afraid many will find it offensive. I am nominating it for deletion.--Frederika Eilers (talk) 20:01, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
Sexism vs. "gender segregation" edit
Are sexism and "sex segregation" interchangeable? Sexism would imply that one gender assumes oneself to be more superior to another gender. "Sex segregation", however, segregates two sexes. Would "sex segregation" → sexism? Or sexism → "Sex segregation"? I'm befuddled. --George Ho (talk) 03:25, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
