This article is full of value judgement statements about men that are not sourced. See the first paragraph. Why do you not accept a value judgement expressing an opposing opinion? A clear double standard. Stop applying a double standard to your editing of this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.131.186.18 (talk • contribs) May 11, 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello, 204.131.186.18, and welcome to Wikipedia. There is actually no double-standard going on here. The first part of the article is called the lead, which is everything up to the Table of Contents, or up to the first section header in the article. (See WP:LEAD.) The lead is merely a summary of the rest of the article, and should contain no new or unique information. Verifiability policy requires that assertions in the article be verifiable; that can happen in various ways, normally by using citations to reliable sources. But the lead of the article, being a summary, does not need source references, as long as it summarizes, as it's supposed to, material in the body of the article that is already referenced with sources.
 * As far as your question, "Why do you not accept a value judgement expressing an opposing opinion?" the reason is, because we don't accept any opinions at all, per Wikipedia's core principle of Neutral point of view. Wikipedia editors contribute no opinions (if they do, they are deleted); we contribute only summaries of what we find in reliable sources that we consult. It doesn't matter how much of an expert you are on a topic; you could have written the standard textbook on General relativity, and you still can't add your opinions to the article about it, at least, not without citing references.  I hope that helps.  Mathglot (talk) 02:41, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
