Interested in editing this article

I am interested in editing this article -- finding and validating references, etc. I will get to it, time permitting. In the meantime, if you have ideas or questions, please feel free to message me. HiTrish (talk) 18:18, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Just curious why the article states, "Violence is about power, control, and domination" and then only talks about physical violence. The article then goes on to state that the media glamorizes violence against women, which I guess is true if all power, control, or domination can only be demonstrated in a physical way. Otherwise we'd have to discuss the way in which the media reflects and glamorizes violence perpetrated against men especially in terms of divorce. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.230.63.52 (talk) 16:07, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Find some sociology articles or other reliable sources that say this about divorce, and it would be considered. I've never seen any such articles. Even if they exist, they'd be WP:FRINGE. EvergreenFir (talk) 00:24, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Antifeminist theory?

Regarding this edit: Is there an "anti-feminist theory" in sociology? If so, I've never heard of it, or its relation to gender. EvergreenFir (talk) 03:33, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

@Civatrope: AFAIK, "antifeminist theory" isn't a thing. You cited Harding about strong objectivity, which is what she talks about. But what you need to cite is what supposed "antifeminist theorists" say about it, not that it exists and what Harding says about it. Again, I've never ever heard of "antifeminist theory". There is no page for it on Wikipedia. You need to establish that it even exists before mentioning it here. Quite frankly, your edits appear to be your own ideas.

Interest in editing this article

I am interested in editing this article and doing further research into the sociology of gender. I have compiled a couple sources that I believe will give me insight to the information I require to conduct proper research. One of the sources I chose to use is a acamdemic journal and summary called "Theory on Gender/Feminism on Theory" . With this journal and the other sources I have chosen I will be inserting factual as well as opinionated research into both sociology and gender. I will try to approach but subjects from their respective angles but ultimately diagnose the subject as a whole.

@Reste023: Rene, although this is a fascinating topic, I do not think you should edit the sociology of gender. As I've said several times in the course, your task is to find a stub article with very little written on it. You will have an extremely hard time adding useful content to this Wikipedia page. Please find a different topic to edit. Alfgarciamora (talk) 13:28, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
