Opinions presented as Facts

This article is quite POV as it often presents the opinions of a particular author or article as if they were established fact. Most notably it does this with Rosabeth Moss Kanter who is cited endlessly in the Tokenism in the Workplace intro and gender sections, but it also occurs elsewhere and with other authors and articles. The Tokenism in the Workplace section also seems to include interpretation of much of what it is citing, and the Gender section appears to contain original synthesis of Kanter and Williams. I have added a neutrality tag to the Tokenism in the Workplace section and a Original Synthesis tag to the Gender section.--146.90.217.116 (talk) 02:06, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

I have added the {{POV-section} and {{Content} tags to this section. The contributor above has outlined several good points and leaves little to be said. This section of the article addresses many points related to gender inequality in the workplace, however this does not tranlate into tokenism. In summary, the neutrality of this section could be disputed and it is certainly not relevant. 49.181.198.33 (talk) 01:45, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Agree with the tags. This article was essentially repeating Kanter's works as fact, and not properly attributing her opinions to her. I've removed a lot of the content but more work needs to be done. Appropriate weight needs to be given to different writers. FuriouslySerene (talk) 14:30, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
