[Gendergap] Good sources for criticism of sexism in traditional media

Hi all, Just wondered if anyone here knew any good sources about the prevalence / impact of sexism in traditional media? I'm particularly thinking of adding to this article, where all I can find on a quick Google is things on HuffPost and Jezebel which aren't particularly great to use on-wiki, so

Re: [Gendergap] Atlantic article..."How Wikipedia is Hostile to Women"

In case anyone missed it, there is now an Arbcom case about this article... or something - am not entirely clear what it's about but there are some very, erm, "interesting" arguments being made in the dozens of case statements. On 21 Oct 2015 21:01, "Carol Moore dc" wrote: > > http://www.thea

This is also part of the problem - we have "helpful" contributions from people like Reguyla / Kumioko who is basically here to complain about how awful Arbcom are. Some months ago he was engaged in a campaign of personal abuse against arbitrators which to be frank is exactly the kind of thing that

[Gendergap] Diversity training for functionaries

Don't know if this has been floated before - apologies if so - but: Part of the problem we have is the sheer depth of ignorance among otherwise well-intentioned community members. This depth of ignorance is naturally shared by the people who play leadership roles in the community. So we end up wi

[Gendergap] Surplus women and World War I

Re: [Gendergap] washington dc

I don't know the situation here at all, but I think Anne's point is that this is a sensitive area and best discussed outside of mailing lists. There is also a point that on-wiki behaviours, problems and sanctions do not necessarily translate into off-wiki activity. (though normally I notice this t

Re: [Gendergap] More Dangerous to be a Woman Than a Soldier

On the whole I think our military history articles aren't great at dealing with sexual violence, on a number of dimensions. For instance, there was a large amount of well-documented rape and sexual mutiliation of Vietnamese women by U.S. forces in Vietnam, but the Vietnam War article doesn't cover

So how can we measure what impact we're having on getting women to participate? Over the next few months Wikimedia UK's very going to be adopting a rather more formal set of reporting procedures. I just wondered if people on this list had any thoughts about how we could build in some gender impact
