Wikipedia is like the Ministry of Truth. The truth, and history, can be edited.

Alas, the entire internet is like the Ministry of Truth. Rewriting history simply by changing one article read by thousands is a blessing that Big Brother could only dream of.

Wikipedia is mainstream.

We are not welcome in mainstream.

I understand it's hard to have something like wikipedia writing lies. But ultimately they will lose. And as a bonus to us, we get a bunch of "look how stupid wikipedia looks" articles out of the deal (hat tip voice-for-men and others.)

We simply need to continue forging forward and create our own path. The mainstream will catch up eventually, kicking and screaming, like it always does.

So Wikipedia bans scientologists from editing their own articles, but not feminists? That makes no sense.

You know this stuff is really funny. There was a concerted /r/mensrights efforts to edit, censor, and otherwise vandalize the pages of amanda marcotte and jessica valenti. But when somebody calls out citationless-paragraphs in a mensrights page? zomg totally criminal.

Hypocrisy, thy name is MRA
