Hi, just saw the article. It's a nice piece of work. A few things
So it's not that fair to say we just create articles about porn stars... People *really* don't understand how categorization works here, nor do they understand what sub-categorization of bios means. In any case, probably worth posting a correction, and perhaps slapping Gleick with a trout for sloppiness and facile comparisons (although admittedly he was quoting someone)

I am requesting input from all participants in the discussion from the recent Signpost article on sexism in Wikipedia for a proposal at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/National teams#Proposed change: consistency in article title gendering. Thank you in advance for any contributions to the discussion. Dkreisst ( talk) 21:22, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
You seem to have a problem with the placement of people in Category:American columnists and Category:American women journalists. However that is the way we generally do things. For example only a very low percentage of people in Category:American women judges are alos in Category:American judges. Most are in various sub-cats based on the specific court they were judges for, or at least what state the court was in. For example Jennifer Faunce, an article I created (and a person whose campaign I worked on when she ran successfully for the Michigan state house), is in Category:American women judges and Category:Michigan state court judges. On the other hand I added all the women in Category:American war correspondents to Category:American women journalists, and no one has complainedabout that. The first man in Category:American colunists, Dan Ackman, is in that category and not the journalist one. Consdiering we have the article Women in journalism and media professions, I doubt there can be any sustained objection to the category. On the judges front we have an even better article Women in the United States judiciary, which lead me to create the article on Julia Cooper Mack, which still needs a lot of work. It is very frustrating to me that it appears we really do have more articles on American female pornographic film actors than on American women judges.
