22.01.2022 Heineken’s latest is a refreshingly gender stereotype-busting beer ad: https://campaignbechdel.com//cheers-for-challenging-the-b/
22.01.2022 Lack of diversity at leadership level in the media industry leads to a lack of diversity on our screens - and a lack of engagement from the nearly half of our population with non-Anglo cultural backgrounds. Read the study summary: http://theconversation.com/whitewash-on-the-box-how-a-lack-
21.01.2022 Unbelievably, gender equality in corporations and at board level is actually going backwards: https://www.smh.com.au//that-really-hurts-just-12-women-ce
21.01.2022 KFC’s latest ad is all about juicy, tender breasts. *Chicken* breasts, geddit? #shamejob #sexist #advertising #kfc #horny10yearold #crapwriting # http://campaignbechdel.com//14/juicy-breasts-chicken-brea/

19.01.2022 Bloody pandemic! It’s totally interfered with regular posts. Here to remedy that is this dissection of a Huggies nappies ad from 2010: https://campaignbechdel.com//06/18/throwbackto1955thursday/
18.01.2022 This is why I don’t watch commercial TV anymore. This ad aired at 8pm. During family programming. Huey’s sleazy reaction shot will feature in tonight’s nightmares.
15.01.2022 Best country to be a woman? Not Australia. We may not be Yemen, but we could do much, much better for half of our citizens: https://www.nationalgeographic.com//peril-progress-prospe/
13.01.2022 Economic gender inequality is growing as a result of COVID19: Since the coronavirus crisis began, 5.3% of employed women have lost their jobs compared with 3.9% of men. Women’s hours of work have fallen by 11.5% compared with 7.5% for men. And women are more than twice as likely to have stopped looking for a new job, presumably because they have taken on a disproportionate amount of homeschooling.
11.01.2022 Terribly upsetting news today about the Brisbane woman and her children being murdered by her former partner. Even more upsetting are the apparent justifications of his actions appearing in news reports - as is there is ever a reason to set fire to any human, ever. Leaving him was not an excuse for him to murder her, nor his innocent and powerless children.
11.01.2022 Challenging old-fashioned gender stereotypes, now backed by evidence: https://campaignbechdel.com//outdated-gender-stereotypes-/
10.01.2022 Is political correctness killing creativity? We analysed all the film winners from this years London International Awards to find out: #lia2019 #politicalcorrectness #sexism #advertising #gendersterotypes #awards #longreads https://campaignbechdel.com//does-avoiding-sexism-in-adve/
10.01.2022 Gender inequality is hard-wired into voice technologies, because of the lack of women involved in the tech’s development. Read more here:
10.01.2022 What I worry about with MeToo and Time’s Up is that we’re not dealing with workplace discrimination, and in a way we’re being misdirected to talk about sexual abuse and harassment, when all these things are very, very connected. We can’t lose sight of any part of this battle. Abuse and discrimination and gender inequality are all connected. Great perspective from the director of the new Hollywood documentary This Chsnges Everything being released soon. https://www.latimes.com//hollywoods-labor-problem-tom-dona
09.01.2022 Fantastic work by allies of Campaign Bechdel, RMIT & Women’s Health Victoria: their latest research paper uncovers the community’s resistance to gender stereotypes in advertising, and outlines the way forward
09.01.2022 TL;DR: The media are more concerned with pantsuits than policies, and it’s keeping women from entering politics and levelling the gender inequality gap: https://www.abc.net.au//media-gender-stereotypes-/11996326
07.01.2022 Study finds gender stereotypes are built into language, and are picked up by kids as young as two:
03.01.2022 Never mind the inequality for women across our lifetimes; keep having babies for the sake of our economy! Great article from Women's Agenda on the male-centric perspective driving our federal Treasury: https://womensagenda.com.au//josh-frydenberg-wants-a-covi/
03.01.2022 As of last week, three women in 2020 have died from family violence. Our government is awarding those who peddle false narratives around this issue, naming them gender equity champions. #scomo #mensrightsgroups #fakefacts #governmentbackedpropaganda
02.01.2022 Frozen for boys? My daughter loves Frozen; and so does her older brother, my son. There is no such thing as boys movies or girls movies. Why are the media so determined to divide audiences by gender, instead of uniting them over the films they all love?
01.01.2022 How bow dat, investing in women brings huge economic returns?
