Explain why Al Gross - literally the first male Senate candidate I looked up - also doesn't have a wikipedia page then.

My point is you and others quickly made it about gender, when the reality is just that Senate candidates don't always get wikipedia pages. It depends on their background

I made it about gender because of years of experience watching women in my field get overlooked on Wikipedia while male colleagues get Wikipedia pages

Great, maybe you can do a study on this then? I'd love to read it, and if you can find a statistically significant relationship I'm with you! But most of the time there are other factors that explain these things, and people just jump to race/gender reflexively

This is a gender gap in editing/participating on Wikipedia, not evidence that male editors are purposely creating Wiki pages for male Senate candidates rather than female

I read most of it, but maybe you can point me directly to the information that demonstrates your point? And I say that genuinely!

I'm going to say this, genuinely: do your own research instead of asking internet strangers to do the work for you. At best, this kind of pushback makes you sound disingenuous.
