It's been nearly seven years since this essay (then in the project namespace) was nominated for deletion. After recently making contact with it at AfD I have decided to re-nominate it. Why? This page and the jokes that are made in reference to it are quite frankly sexist and demeaning. And they're not even funny.

Imagine being a newbie who sees this page linked to at AfD (or anywhere else). What would you think of the user who made the joke, and how would you see the Wikipedia community? Quite likely you'd think they were sexist people, and if you were a woman (because let's face it, the jokes are mostly made about women) you could think twice about participating in the project. What if a journalist saw the same thing and decided to use it as yet another reason to lambast Wikipedia for its gender gap?

If you look at what links to the essay you see several pages whence it is linked. About half of them are from banned editors, but when you add pages like Articles for deletion/Vanessa Huppenkothen, where the essay was not linked in the joke, it would seem to be an unpleasant recurring theme in deletion discussions. (This is not an accusation of bad faith on behalf of those users, who intended it as humour. But it is an example of how sexism pervades culture.)

This essay, however funny some people find it, is of no benefit to the project and in fact does it a disservice. Wikipedia is not a place for the sexual objectification of people, or making sexist jokes. Deleting this essay would make Wikipedia a more civil, welcoming and respectful place.
