I'll look into it more when I get home. To tell the truth, I was aware of this from another article that didn't give out much information but had a similar title. I wrote it of as inflammatory. Now I'm very curious. I agree with posters who want Wiki to be as unbiased as possible. I do wonder how much the gender discrepancy plays in articles about any gendered topic.
