- The Hack Gender project is running until June 5, inviting you to
create something that talks about gender and its transitory state in modern discourse
. See submission instructions and existing submissions. - FemaleScienceProfessor tackles a question about whether women-only events discriminate against men.
- Digital Changeling reviews Puzzle Bots: Short version: game is a bit short for the price, but the puzzles are fun and nicely made. Unfortunately, she found the stereotypes so grating that they did distract some from the fun of playing the game.
- RMJ critiques ableism in recent xkcd and Natalie Dee strips.
- Yet another geeky campaign decides that sexism is “edgy” and “attention-grabbing” and that their important issue therefore should be addressed in a sexist way: see the wiki documentation of It’s Time to Tell Mum, in particular Electronic Frontiers Australia’s defence of the campaign, and Sky’s comprehensive review of the sexism involved.

Thanks for linking to the hackgender project! We’re hoping for more submissions from fellow geeks :-)
Hi! Since you’re here, perhaps you can answer a question for me: why is Hack Gender not accepting previously-written blogs/articles/etcetera? (Hacking Academia did; at first that was the only way I was participating, though I was later inspired by other entries to write something new.)
I think it’s a great project, would love to send you some material of mine from the Long Ago, but not really feeling inspired to write something new just now. : Which is, of course, my problem and not yours; this is NOT any kind of accusation, and it’s not meant (though it may come across) as a whinge.
So, the “previously published” thing is supposed to prevent people from, say, submitting every post they’ve ever written on a blog because they blog about gender. The other intention was to encourage the generation of new content: that is, we don’t want to just be a space with a bunch of links to things people have already said, because there are spaces like that in gender conversations. That said, if you have something you think is relevant, regardless of when you wrote it, send it in: if you happen to revise it a bit, or had new thoughts since, even better!
Thanks so much! I understand the reasoning now.
(Part of my denseness is that I started blogging early enough that the idea of a whoooooooole blog about gender issues still feels really wow.)
