Content Warning: This educational episode contains graphic sexual and violent game footage. In this episode we explore the Women as Background Decoration trope which is the subset of largely insignificant non-playable female characters whose sexuality or victimhood is exploited as a way to infuse edgy, gritty or racy flavoring into game worlds. These sexually objectified female bodies are designed to function as environmental texture while titillating presumed straight male players. Sometimes they're created to be glorified furniture but they are frequently programmed as minimally interactive sex objects to be used and abused. Full transcript, links and resources available at: ABOUT THE SERIESThe Tropes vs Women in Video Games project aims to examine the plot devices and patterns most often associated with female characters in gaming from a systemic, big picture perspective.

How to Show Kids You Care Over the years, Search Institute has sold more than six million copies of 150 Ways to Show Kids You Care, a simple yet powerful poster. Like all of Search Institute’s work, the poster translates scientific research into simple, actionable ways that adults can make a positive difference in young people’s lives. A Search Institute team recently visited the Woodson Kindergarten Center in Austin, Minnesota, where the students helped us re-imagine the ideas on the poster. In 2014, Search Institute will release important new studies and tools that put research to work on behalf of kids. For every donation of $25 or more that we receive through the end of 2013, Search Institute will donate a pack of 150 Ways posters to a school or program that primarily serves young people who live in poverty. Thank you for considering this opportunity to help Search Institute keep discovering what kids need to succeed!

Women Know Less About Politics Than Men, Especially In Britain, Study Finds Women still know less about politics than men despite progress in sexual equality, especially in Britain, academics have said.

The division was particularly stark in Britain, which was found to have the second-widest gulf in knowledge between the sexes. Women still know less about politics than men, a study has found An in-depth report partly blamed a lack of female faces on television news for putting women off current affairs. Researchers from Goldsmiths, University of London, put a series of multiple choice questions to men and women in Australia, Canada, Colombia, Greece, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Norway, the UK and the US. British men scored an average of 5.8 correct answers out of eight on subjects such as the name of the United Nations secretary general, the national unemployment rate and what job Vladimir Putin did. British women "know less about politics than men".

Eg er ikkje dum, eg er eit offer | MadDam | Et bloggkollektiv Gjesteblogger skriver for Maddam i dag Det er lite som provoserar meg meir enn følgjande kommentarar på nyhendeoppslag der ei kvinne har blitt drepen av ein valdeleg partnar: Kvifor stakk ho ikkje? Viss han var valdeleg, må ho jo ha skjønt at han ikkje var noko å samle på! Eg hadde aldri blitt hos ein partnar som slo meg Kva er normaliseringsprosessen? Begrepet normalisering nyttast i mange samanhengar, men i samband med vald mot kvinner nyttast det for å beskrive korleis valdshandlingane gradvis eskalerer, og utvidar grensene for kva som opplevast som greitt i eit forhald. Vi leser i blant om denne prosessen, og kor vanskeleg det er å innsjå at du er inni ein. Ein ny mann i familien Den første gongen var med stefaren min.
