Quickies: New Tropes vs. Women in video games, Mary Beard, and when good journals go bad
- Women as background decoration, part 2 – Anita Sarkeesian’s latest video is out!
- The troll slayer – A New Yorker piece on Mary Beard, her work as a classicist, and her becoming a feminist hero.
- Respected medical journal turns to dark side – From Angela.
- Children’s place responds to complaints of Gamora-less boys’ shirt – Heaven forbid boys enjoy the main female character in a movie. From mrmisconception.
I learn something new every time I watch one of Anita Sarkeesian’s videos. They really are so well researched and well prepared.
Very true. Warning, though: this one is particularly disturbing. I don’t really play these kinds of games, so I was a bit shocked.
