The girlboss didn’t change the system; she thrived within it. Now that system is cracking, and so is this icon of millennial hustle [...] Woke capitalism lets the elites maintain the status quo while paying lip service to the demands of activists, and, as ethical consumers, millennials get to feel like they’re making a difference every time they go shopping.

The city of Geneva is putting women on its pedestrian crossing road signs in a move to boost women’s presence in public spaces.

Attracting more girls to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) careers is critical for the health of the tech industry. If you're planning an event to inspire a younger generation in this direction, then here are some guidelines for what actually causes girls to exclaim, "Oh, cool!"

People who watch pornography hold views of women as more equal to men than people who do not watch pornography, and are no less likely to describe themselves as feminists, according the results of a study published in the Journal of Sex Research. The role of pornography in shaping societal attitudes towards women has been a topic of longstanding debate. Some commentators argue that pornography is inherently demeaning to women, and that viewing it causes men to develop more hostile gender attitudes and causes women to internalize negative gender stereotypes

An internal project to rewrite how Apple’s Siri voice assistant handles “sensitive topics” such as feminism and the #MeToo movement advised developers to respond in one of three ways: “don’t engage”, “deflect” and finally “inform”.

Women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers can often feel isolated at work if they don't have a lot of other female colleagues. Fortunately, the internet has more ways for women in tech to connect than ever before. Here are just 40 examples.

The Revolution will be posted. At the height of the backlash against feminism in 1989, an Australian woman who thought American teen magazines were all “preserved in aspic,” started a new magazine…

Feminist women are visually stereotyped as more masculine while the opposite is true for feminist men, according to new research published in the journal Sex Roles. The researchers noted that feminist women are often derided for being unattractive or manly.

After the decline of feminist bookstores, there's a new trend emerging: mobile, black-owned book operations.

"A particularly ridiculous proposition I received last week was from a company that sells loose leaf tea that supposedly 'enhances female intuition, self-reflection, and witchyness.'" By Sophia Richards.

Women like bad boys. At least, that’s the story. And there’s lots of writing and anecdotal experience to back that up. Men frequently complain about being “friendzoned,” the idea being that men who are respectful toward their female interests get placed into the role of friend, rather than potential boyfriend. The “pickup artist” community has embraced this concept, teaching men how to behave in assertive, dominant ways that, allegedly, are more successful with women.

The term has become a central part of an important conversation about the division of household work. But the sociologist who coined it says it’s being used incorrectly. By Julie Beck, with Arlie Hochschild.

Instead of worrying about “manspreading” or subtle displays of sexism, feminists in the West need to focus on major problems affecting women in the world, like being shot going to school or female genital mutilation. Like many of you, I grew up reading about historical heroines of the suffragette movement. These were women who faced imprisonment, risked their lives, or even willingly gave their lives to bring attention to their plight. These were women who were on the outskirts of society. They were disrupting the status quo.
