How may Trump win effect the WP working environment
by LB 02 Dec '16

02 Dec '16

In light of Trump boasting of grabbing women "by the pussy" and of him calling Clinton a "nasty woman" on national TV during a formal presidential debate, I wonder what effect, if any, his election may have on the WP working environment. Since the election there have been numerous reports of women and minorities being openly attacked by emboldened men and women and who supported Trump and his... values. Apparently this was the case in Englad post-Brexit, too? Has anyone else thought about this? Lightbreather

I have encountered a definite upswing in hostile aggressive POV-pushing by alt-right editors.

Transcript and video of Katherine Maher speaking on "Privacy and Harassment on the Internet" at MozFest 2016 is now up on Wikisource. https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Katherine_Maher_at_MozFest_2016 Slides from Maher's Oct 9 keynote at Wikiconference North America 2016 "Building an Inclusive Movement" are posted on Commons, but I don't believe a video is available. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WikiConference_North_America_2016_-_Ka…

Need "Toxic masculinity" article
by Carol Moore dc 01 Nov '16

01 Nov '16

It's turned into a real thing with lots of good refs. There are lots of RS articles. And search Duke Universities program and you'll find lots more. In between all the men's rights articles denouncing such a program. Obviously it will take a brave soul to do it. And lots of research to track the etymology and use. (This non-RS article asserts it came from mens right movement which should be checked out. https://www.reddit.com/r/FeMRADebates/comments/1voxgf/toxic_masculinity_cam… And make sure you do the full version right off with lots of refs or you know it will be AfD ASAP. It is possible it should be a subset of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hegemonic_masculinity - o investigate that Have fun if anyone decides to do it.
