Subject: Problems donating
To Whom It May Concern,
I have, in the past, donated money to support wikipedia.
However, this:

http://internet.gawker.com/wikipedia-purged-a-group-of-feminist-editors-because-of-1681463331
is the last straw.
Until you fix wikipedia's systemic bias against women, you will not get another penny from me. Before you say "we are not responsible" -- you are, because you are *financing* this toxic atmosphere. The buck stops with you.
