Definition

edit

I'm suggesting we change the definition phrasing to something stronger. Saying when something occurs is not a definition, it's more of an application. Maybe "Networked Feminism is the concentrated use of social media to increase gender equality on behalf of women" SCTT (talk) 21:15, 13 March 2013 (UTC) I'm suggesting that the definitionexclude the part about "gender equality". The end of goal of networked feminism is indeed gender equality but networked feminism is more specifically focused on increasing the power and influence of the female gender and the definiton should reflect that. SCTT (talk) I'm suggesting we don't link to other articles within the first mention of the term "networked feminism" SCTT (talk) 23:07, 13 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

I would also suggest maybe a little bit more on how basic feminism has evolved to "networked feminism". More of a hard definition of feminism and how it is important in todays society. Landmar (talk) 15:25, 20 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

The definition needs be more clear-cut. As of now you seem to be making a strong techno-determinist argument here, in particular when you claim that "networked feminism is the manifestation of social media's ability to make traditionally underrepresented voices heard." Social media do not have any power unless people use them so they are not the agent of change. So, as Landmar suggests, i would go for a definition that privileges the centrality of the feminist movement and explains how such movement is renewed and perhaps acquires new distinctive features through the Web 2.0.Mdseriis (talk) 01:41, 27 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Phrasing Variety

edit

All four sentences in the open paragraph begin the exact same way with "Networkeed Feminism." I'm suggesting a change to the phrasing in order to make it more readable. SCTT (talk) 21:15, 13 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

International Occurrences

edit

I'm suggesting removing "USA" references in the opening section. Addressing only the USA within the opening paragraph implies that Networked Feminism only occurs within that country. Maybe USA can get its own section? SCTT (talk) 23:07, 13 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Section Titles

edit

Maybe instead of IMPACT there should be a BACKGROUND section that details the development of NF and then a section entitled SUCCESSFUL MOVEMENTS that details the results brought about by successful applications of NF. SCTT (talk) 23:19, 13 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Maybe in the section of Hashtags, you can add real facebook/twitter examples Jenks27 (talk) 23:17, 24 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

The sections are confusing, in the sense that I get confused weather the sub section is a part of the section or not, for example in the examples, I got confused. Jenks27 (talk) 17:13, 19 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Also possibly get rid of the impact subsections on the Examples tab. Just starting a new paragraph its probably enough. Landmar (talk) 15:29, 20 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

I would agree that the sections do not make much sense. The Criticism section does not need to have those subtitles because they all kind of go together except for the Digital Divide one the idea of Networked feminisms impact could really be its own section. Landmar (talk) 15:30, 20 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Under the Background section I would include references to Cyberfeminism, which is an important precursor to Web 2.0-based feminism.Mdseriis (talk) 01:47, 27 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hashtags and Facebook Groups

edit

I would rework the second paragraph so that it's much less of a background of Facebook groups and more tied strictly to how Facebook played a role in networked feminism. Needs to be more tied to the article. Also some images of those examples would look good there. Is social media the only way that networked feminism works? Maybe blogs or massive emails to a huge database or certain websites that focus on getting these movements together? Landmar (talk) 16:08, 20 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

I agree with everything Landmar says. You do not need to spend so many words on explaining how hashtags and Facebook groups work (a link to the appropriate Wikipedia articles will suffice) but rather how feminists have been using them. It is important that you provide concrete examples and links to campaigns. It is also sure that social network sites are by no means the only media through which women coordinate these campaigns. So additional references to email lists, blogs, YouTube videos, reddit threads would be important here.Mdseriis (talk) 01:46, 27 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Typo gleaning

edit

Hi,

I'm not a native EN speaker, but .... (Limbaugh) Shouldn't ".... an Internet networked was created ..." be ".... an Internet network was created ..."  ?

(Internal discussions) I wondered about the expression "not all information has been exasperated" Could it mean "not all information has been exhausted" in the sense of made available, been disseminated, not all avenues of research have been pursued?

And phrasing backlash to online feminism as a "lad mine" is vaguely humorous and possibly even a little true, I suspect this is also a typo.

T85.166.160.236 (talk) 13:24, 18 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Yes, the grammar is awkward. I would suggest something like "Immediately after Limbaugh's comments went public on his radio show, Limbaugh was criticized by feminists on social media.". I think that "exhausted" is also the right word instead of "exasperated". "Lad mine" surely means "land mine". PearlSt82 (talk) 13:56, 18 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
