Feminist groups plan to mass edit Wikipedia

Apparently, Wikipedia is too masculine and they plan on introducing feminist thinking into Wikipedia articles about technology.

Wesley college has a statue of a man in his underwear on their campus.

And what's your point?
Before anyone added anything to the article about ducks, the article about ducks was too vague and uninformative. Once people added things, the article became more educational, even if no one could give a crap about the information that people added.
It'd be a problem if feminist groups removed data from Wikipedia and made articles misleading or uninformative. [url=http://www.thedailybeast.com/witw/articles/2014/02/05/wikipedia-meets-feminism.html]But they're actually just adding information about public figures that are women[/url], information that a lot of people won't give a crap about, but will still be worthwhile for the people that google them.

The article takes things out of context and is misleading, so any discussion that takes place about it is ultimately meaningless. Google before you link.

soooo what are they actually going to change? Are they just going to sabotage pages, or are they going to change... I don't even knowwhat they would change honestly.
If wikipedia is just a collection of facts how do you feminize facts?
and how is wikipedia's design masculine? can anyone explain that? I guess I am missing or not noticing something because that is absolutely retarded

+edit
I figured it out. All they are doing is feminist topics, no changing other stuff.
I still dont get how wikipedia is a masculine design though
