Women in piracy
Hi Rebeccalstewart - I'm sorry that you thought linking to women in the workforce from women in piracy was childish & sexist, but I have to insist that it's necessary. You may not realize that in Wikipedia "Category:Pirates" is simply included in the occupational tree (Category:People by occupation). Be that as it may, we're developing a series of articles on Women in the workforce which, yes, includes criminal occupations including piracy. I'm reinstating that link, therefore, but please feel free to talk about it at Talk:Women in the workforce if you have further objections. (PS - You might also like to read AGF, "assume good faith" -- it seems you took the link to be sexist mockery, but with some further investigation I suspect you'll see that was not the case. (I can assure it was not.) While we face a significant amount of sexist, racist & homophobic vandalism at Wikipedia, the AGF guideline suggests we assume good faith unless there is incontrovertible evidence otherwise. If you hang around at wikipedia you will certainly see plenty of edits which are incontrovertibly sexist, and you might want to reserve "childish and sexist" for those.
