dear sarah
i want to give you a small feedback about your entries here about a
comment i did. (i found this list with a notice on my userpage in the
german wikipedia)
Pro i like her big tits :-) Bunnyfrosch (Diskussion) 22:59, 2 January
2011 (UTC)
there were 2 contra votes before, one argued not educational and
questioned: Why manga woman rhymes with big tits? the other replies
the not educational accusation. both arguments are bullshit in my
opinion. because all is educational or nothing, but i am to obliging
to told a another users his/her meaning is bullshit. for example if i
want to know how a piece of shit looks like, a picture of a piece of
shit ist educational, and if i want to know something about the
frontieres of texas, a picture of a map coult very
helpfully/educational. if people naming something not educational,
they want to say somthing diffrent. ( note this is my personal pov!)
but they vote this way, but really really often simply mean: i hate
this pic or i hate this user or i hate every kind of nudity in the
commons
in german i often give persons a longer feedback, in english i spare
the longer feedback. (you can read why^^) so i choose a short pro
vote, applying to the first contra. and by the way, i am not addicted
to big or small boobs - i couldn't care less!
if i had choose a longer explanation for my vote, it would like:
wikipedia needs well draught anime pictures, with common licences,
this one is a great animation of a girl or transsexual in a beautyfull
landscape. so, thats the reason i vote with pro.
but there was no need for a argumentaion, when the contra-side argues
with not educational
i hope this will help you, to understand my diction in the comment.
best regards

Bob, thanks for your explanation. It's appreciated.
The thing is this: some of us would like to attract more women editors
to Wikipedia, so that women have more of a voice, and perhaps also to
change the culture of Wikipedia a little.
It's arguably not in a woman's interests to hang around on a talk page
where people are posting about big tits. It may be in the project's
interests to have more women there, but it's hard to see how it could
be in the interests of the individual women.
It doesn't really matter what the intention is behind the words,
because all we see are the words themselves. For some women (not all,
but some), these words effectively mean, The way you see the world is
not represented here, or Go away.
That's one of the reasons it's a problem.
Sarah
