Biggest problem is off-wiki targeting and stalking. No names, but at
least 4 prominent women were strongly affected. And I can think of
two others. Mostly it is framed as trying to access personal
information, calling employers, etc. Imagining that one demonic woman
is oppressing.

Very true, and very much a severe problem. I'm aware of at least a
few
of those you mention.
Do you have any ideas what we as Wikipedians can do that we aren't
already doing? Law enforcement was notified in at least one case. I
think that all of the perps are blocked for eternity from both the
site
and the mailing list.
(Fred, is your last sentence what you wanted to say?)
That is what they do. They imagine a Wikipedia administrator as some
sort of spider queen with a host of minions.
