The result of the discussion was delete as CSD G10 (attack page). Chillum said it best: while I am not personally offended by it, it is still a divisive and inflammatory userbox. Such userboxes are not allowed on Wikipedia. I am sorry if you liked it. — harej ( talk) ( cool!) 05:29, 9 July 2009 (UTC) Closing instructions reply

User:King Sweaterhead/Userboxes/Female Superiority

I have nominated this userbox for deletion because of the following concern: intended to be a gender double standard and dishonest opinion. If it is unacceptable to have a userbox stating male superiority, then it should be unacceptable to have a userbox stating female superiority. Gender double standards have been an issue to others and myself. Decimus Tedius Regio Zanarukando ( talk) 02:31, 12 June 2009 (UTC) reply

I agree. I do not believe that there should be any userboxes on Wikipedia that would promote any kind of discrimination, including that against men. I think this userbox should be deleted. Jprulestheworld01 ( talk) 18:56, 14 June 2009 (UTC) reply

• Question: Was there a male superiority userbox/MFD? can someone link it? – xeno ^talk 23:25, 30 June 2009 (UTC) reply
• Delete Perhaps this was meant in jest, but if taken literally it is basically offensive sexism. WP:USER makes it clear that Wikipedia pages are not for polemical statements. Perhaps most males feel very comfortable with their status and may not be offended but we can't assume that of everyone. Deciding it should be kept because it does not offend you personally sort of misses the point. Reverse the male and female roles in this userbox of its offensiveness becomes clear.

• I am a bit surprised to see how this is going. If it was claiming men were superior to woman, or that whites were superior to blacks then I don't think it would be going the same way. There seems to be a double standard where sexism against men is considered harmless. Chillum 13:46, 2 July 2009 (UTC) reply

• Keep. This a neutral statement of opinion. While the opinion itself is not neutral, allowing editors to state it benefits the encyclopedia by documenting their potential biases. — Gavia immer ( talk) 23:27, 1 July 2009 (UTC) reply
• Comment what about the transgenderers? Are they superior to both, inferior to both, or somewhere in the middle? MickMacNee ( talk) 13:14, 2 July 2009 (UTC) reply
• Delete My lack of offense to this doesn't make this inoffensive. There seems little upshot in keeping the box, with plenty of potential downsides. Matt Deres ( talk) 17:13, 3 July 2009 (UTC) reply
