Issues that discourage women from editing include a perception of Wikipedia as sexist; a lack of confidence and spare time; problems with the editing interface; the belief that editing is tedious; unease because of the inclusion of pornography; and fewer opportunities to develop social relationships than on other websites.<ref name=Stoeffel/><ref name=Gardner19February2011>{{cite web | last = Gardner | first =Sue | author-link = Sue Gardner | title = Nine reasons women don't edit Wikipedia (in their own words) | url = http://suegardner.org/2011/02/19/nine-reasons-why-women-dont-edit-wikipedia-in-their-own-words/ | website = suegardner.org | date = 19 February 2011 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | last = Staff writer | title = Wikipedia 'completely failed' to fix gender imbalance | url = http://www.bbc.com/news/business-28701772 | work = [[BBC News]] | publisher = [[BBC]] | date = 8 August 2014 }}</ref> Despite significant evidence to the contrary, certain commentators have denied that the gender gap is a problem, citing efforts to highlight it as "feminist ideology."<ref>{{Cite journal | last1 = Eckert | first1 = Stine | last2 = Steiner | first2 = Linda | author-link2 = Linda Steiner | title = (Re)triggering backlash: responses to news about Wikipedia’s gender gap | journal = [[Journal of Communication Inquiry]] | volume = 37 | issue = 4 | pages = 284-303
