TOPIC ANNOUNCEMENT for the next three weeks!

THIS WEEK: Street Harassment

- Some of the Dames will be heading to London Reclaim the Night this Saturday 24th November and Sheffield Reclaim the Night next Friday 30th November. Hope to see you there to reclaim the streets as a place for everyone to walk without fear of harassment!

NEXT WEEK: Women’s Representation in Film and TV

- One of the topics you most wanted us to talk about, hopefully we’ll be able to get a lot of different perspectives across our videos this week.

THE WEEK AFTER: Misogyny in Pop Music

- This is a topic we’ve been wanting to talk about for a while, and with the X Factor final and Christmas Number #1 coming up now seemed the right time.

We’ve also had lots of requests to make guest videos over the last couple of weeks and we can’t wait to see what you have to say! If you’d like to make a guest video on these or any other topic then please click here to find out how you can get involved too!

- Becca x

Among 35 major national print publications, including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, men had 81 percent of the quotes in stories about abortion, the research group said Thursday, while women had 12 percent, and organizations had 7 percent.

In stories about birth control, men scored 75 percent of the quotes, with women getting 19 percent and organizations getting 6 percent. Stories about Planned Parenthood had a similar ratio, with men getting 67 percent, women getting 26 percent, and organizations getting 7 percent.

Women fared a bit better in stories about women’s rights, getting 31 percent of the quotes compared with 52 percent for men and 17 percent for organizations.

Feminism in the mass media, and thank you BBC!

Hooray! Subi has found enough of a voice to make her video. Go check it out, there’s a bit around the 4min mark that made me punch the air.

If you haven’t watched us on the BBC yet, watch it now!

For non-UK viewers, if you use a proxy service like TunnelBear or ExPatShield that should make the official link watchable, or you can find less legitimate sources if you Google around…
