Portal talk:Feminism/Archive 1
UnderconstructionI started the talk page and added the tag. This portal was started as a result of discussion at WT:GS#Portal proposal. Phyesalis (talk) 03:43, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! --Grrrlriot (talk) 02:50, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
updatesHi everybody. I've just updated everything. I really do not like making these decisions on my own about on what article, bio and pic is selected. We need to formalize a system where all involved get to have their say on what we selected before the next months starts. With tha in mind could we have nominations for the various selected items please. I'm suggesting Feminist theory for the SA. Mary Robinson--Cailil talk 22:22, 4 March 2008 (UTC) Also I'd like to suggest we link "suggest a task" to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Gender_Studies/to_do--Cailil talk 23:36, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
June 2008 updatesThere will live content again tomorrow in the Selected article, biography, and picture areas. Since consensus has been a bit quiet, and the updating dead, I went ahead and chose some already-suggested articles. I've also been doing various bits of housekeeping, which include moving suggested biographies from the SA nominating area to the SB nominating area, cleaning out dead months from the archives, linking nominating pages to one another, and a few other things. --Yamara ✉ 06:15, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Gender equality is one of this project's central concepts. It was AWOL.Sorry for sounding a little wacky there above, I've had sleep now. Essentially, variations on Gender equality had been hijacked six or so months ago by redirects to both Zygarchy and Equalism, and had actually begun to affect the conversation across the internet. This is bad news, as these terms have nothing behind them but ill-defined assertions. I've rarely been embarrassed for Wikipedia, but this is one of those moments where the site's power was left in the hands of POV/OR mischief-makers. "Zygarchy" is a made-up word that would never meet the WP:NEO standard if anyone had caught it. It has never meant "rule of two genders" before someone asserted it on Wikipedia. There are a couple hundred blogs out there crowing about the "new word they'd learned" while learning less than zero about notable, verifiable internationally-established gender policy. (Somewhat ominously, "zygarchy" is an obscure but genuine term for an ancient military formation involving two chariots. I think the chariots were used to run infantry over... or to cut them down with a chain between them...) "Equalism" has been used by notable sources and scholars-- but never consistently. There was some effort to use it to refer to communism in the fifties, anarchism at various points, and some among the Facebook crowd seem to like it better than "feminism"; one news citation in Sweden counts it as a subset of feminism. That is to say, it's a semantic game: There is no "-ism" there, just a desire for one, a moving target without a developed philosophy behind it. I've redirected it to a far more notable article, Egalitarianism. Nearly every instance of a wikilink to Gender equality had been piped to Equalism. That's what last night was all about for me: finding and removing the plumbing from this phantasm. I've reestablished the Gender equality article with cites to the UN and an external link to the World Bank. I've added it to the various gender studies and feminism templates. This is one of this project's central concepts, and we really have to watch these pages. Cheers, Yamara ✉ 21:43, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Feminism By CountryI think it would be a good idea to have feminism by countries. I noticed that a few countries already have their own feminism page. What do you think? Here is a sample of what I'm talking about: User:Grrrlriot/Sandbox --Grrrlriot (talk) 21:47, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
Suggestions for August 2008 conetntI'd like to thank Durova for her suggestions of the Selected pictures. I was just wondering does anybody have any suggestions for the selected bio and selected article? I'd personally suggest Bracha L. Ettinger or Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick for th bio and A Vindication of the Rights of Woman for the article--Cailil talk 20:55, 25 July 2008 (UTC) Reformat in progressI am going to reformat this portal to rotate randomly with a set number of selections (hopefully only WP:GA and WP:FA content) as opposed to by Month/Year. I have found that the Month/Year format tends to eventually lead to inactivity and redlinks in the portal (as there are currently). Cirt (talk) 17:31, 3 August 2008 (UTC) List of articlesI'm working on the list of FAs for the portal and I was wondering what we want to consider "feminism". For example, do we want to include all biographies of women or just women who had some association with any kind of feminism? Awadewit (talk) 16:35, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Color layoutI changed the color layout using Portal:Box-header/2, let me know what you think. Other options are at Portal:Box-header, User:RichardF/Palettes/Portals, and User:RichardF/Palettes. Cirt (talk) 23:17, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Selected anniversariesI started a new subsection for the portal: Each month should have one free-use image, and (5) entries total highlighting an interesting date related to feminism/women's history. You can see a completed version of this model at Portal:Russia/Selected anniversaries. The months of August and September are already completed, so we just have to fill in the rest of the months. Cheers, Cirt (talk) 03:38, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Either way, no prob. Cirt (talk) 13:01, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
I think it looks excellent. Thanks so much for working on this. Cirt (talk) 23:08, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Featured contentNew subsection, not yet added to the portal main page itself yet, see: The Featured articles list will have to be a merge of a list of the biographies and general articles, sorted alphabetically. I think we should just use blue links in a straight list format and not <gallery></gallery> for the list of WP:FPs, because there are too many for gallery display on the Main Page. Cirt (talk) 22:44, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Image check on featured articles
We'll need to work on this list. Awadewit (talk) 00:52, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Portal peer reviewThis portal has had a portal peer review which is at Wikipedia:Portal peer review/Feminism/archive1. Cirt (talk) 21:20, 26 September 2008 (UTC) Portal:Feminism is now a featured portal. Great! :) Thanks everyone for making this happen! --Grrrlriot (♠ ♣ ♦ ♥ †) 17:55, 8 October 2008 (UTC) Woman, "The Grandmothers", Herstory and FeminismWondrous, Exciting! This Feminism Portal!
Template photoWhy is the image for feminism "Migrant Mother?" The first thing that makes me think of is economic depression, not feminism. Wouldn't there be a more suitable choice for this portal? 24.31.165.240 (talk) 20:29, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
Speedy DeleteThis is nothing but Misandarist nonsense. --Street Scholar (talk) 14:44, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
Gender based violenceWhy don't you rename the page "Violence against women" in "gender based violence"? This is the correct definition because "is a manifestation of historically unequal power relations between men and women, which have led to domination over and discrimination against women by men and to the prevention of the full advancement of women, and that violence against women is one of the crucial social mechanisms by which women are forced into a subordinate position compared with men " (...), Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women, United Nations -General Assembly dic. 1993

Ok. Done. sorry but my english is so "slow"! --151.50.177.40 (talk) 17:08, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone else disagree with this title: Sarah Brown (wife of Gordon Brown)?On the Talk page I've just said it is sexist and patronising beyond belief to have this title, because it suggests that this women is only definable by reference to her husband. Can you please leave your thoughts to have this moved to an alternate title? Thanks, Wikidea 15:23, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
Is this legit? Is it notable? If it is, please fix it. Either way, go to the AfD and comment. Bearian (talk)

Looking for suggestions on a Masculism portalFrom the history, it appears that this Feminism portal began as a Task Force on Gender Studies in 2008, and then grew to it's own project in 2010, and has flourished since then. I think it would be cool if that success could be emulated in a communal project to document things that might be labelled masculism and activism related to male rights. I am wondering since people here would be experienced in this if there could be pointers and if these could be sibling-type communities. Ranze (talk) 08:37, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Recommend for removalMoved from Portal talk:Feminism/to do -- John of Reading (talk) 07:25, 16 November 2014 (UTC) Recommend for removal. Feminism has become a polarizing topic that has become associated with censorship. Promoting this ideology so heavily on an open source information sharing site makes the information therein appear to be biased. The benefit of Wikipedia as an open source web reference is that users can share information as long as it is properly researched and vetted. The tenets of feminism too quickly assume victimhood and social stigmatization without the proper and complete research to support those views. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pencilsketcher (talk • contribs) 20:45, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
Women warriors and wonder womanI found this great book about the earliest (and the most inspiring) Wonder Woman comics, with a lot of additional information on historical women warriors; if anyone's interested. Dahia-Al-Kahina could use a page, given she captured Carthage. Bullets and Bracelets (talk) 21:55, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Women by century?We have an article about Women in Europe, but it cuts the information by country and I am looking for an article about Women by time period. Do we have something that focuses on "Women in the 10th century" or something similar?-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 06:15, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
Re-organization of WikiProject WomenThere currently is a discussion about the future organization of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women and several other women-related Wikiprojects and taskforces at the above link. Some aspects may be of interests to editors of this project and your participation in the discussion would be appreciated. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 12:42, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
Notice from the Portals WikiProjectWikiProject Portals is back! The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future. As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us. There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt. Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways. And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list. From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 07:29, 2 May 2018 (UTC) Notice for requesting to participate in gender equality related page movesA page move discussion is going on here, Talk:2023 Cricket World Cup. Inviting to all interested editors here who are well experienced in gender equality and feminsim related subjects and if they use their insights to put their views in the dicussion. A similar discussion was happened last year for changing ICC T20 World Cup to ICC Men's T20 World Cup here In brief, ICC the governing world cricketing body has changed all their tournaments' names in gender specific way recently like ICC Men's Cricket World Cup (previously Cricket World Cup) or 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup (instead of 2023 Cricket World Cup) and has been well recognised by major cricketing websites along with news sites (RS). I think participation of more experienced editors from here would be dynamic in argument and counter argument an drefuting. Thank you. Drat8sub (talk) 20:54, 23 July 2020 (UTC) If you don't have anything to write about! : )Hi! I've just added a section on recent developments in the field of critique of political economy. Where certain authors have utilized a more feminist point of view. Someone here might want to extend this section, and might know more about it than I do! If that's the case, please come check it out :) Kind regards, Pauloroboto Pauloroboto (talk) 11:38, 17 February 2022 (UTC) Category "Individualist Feminist"A Wikipedia author from german Wikipeda recently went into the topic of feminism and flooded the category Individualist feminists with arbitrary women who he believed are "individual feminists" based on his made up definition of individualist feminism which was not grounded in literature at all. (mostly celebrities or pron actors / directors where he believed that sex positive feminism is synonymous with individual feminism, e.g. [2]) You may want to check that category again and remove any entries that do not actually belong there.
