2015 was a power-packed year, driven by momentum, collaboration, and exploration. Read our year-end recap to learn more about what we accomplished with your support. We’re entering 2016 with gratitude for our community. Stay tuned and WAM! on!
A show for kids that aired its final season entirely online could have the power to change children’s TV forever. Yes, really.
Look, Kurtz is not – repeat: NOT – arguing that the poor quality of the questions had something to do with the fact that Obama only called on women. He’s observing that the questions would have been better if Obama had called on some of the seasoned bros in attendance. He’s not saying it has something to do with gender; he’s just saying the three men he mentioned would have done it better than the eight women who were called on. So don’t call it “sexism.” Call it some other word with the same exact definition.
Howie Kurtz mansplains the news: Fox’s media reporter has some advice for lady journalists
In the social media age, sometimes it feels like the relevance of a single story lasts about as long as it takes to tweet about it. It can feel like a sensory overload, a near-constant "on to the next!" But once in a while you r...
So many WAM!mers on this list!!! <3
We talked to an expert on how to make this suck less.
The fun thing has been in practice that means that the more diversity that you get in your office, the easier it is to get more diversity.

"8 Minutes" is a new reality show wherein a cop-turned-pastor has 8 minutes to convince a sex worker to leave the profession. It is truly abhorrent any way you look at it. Sign this pledge and make sure it never airs.
If you want to be scared shitless and also support movies written and directed by women, definitely go see The Babadook.
Cecily Strong and "SNL" mocked every sexist rom-com girl.
This is amazing.

"The outlandish tale at the heart of Erdely’s poorly vetted story does a disservice to Rolling Stone’s larger point about rape and assault on college campuses. It would be a mistake to allow the magazine’s poor handling of Jackie’s story to completely distract from the issues that it highlighted for many readers — that sexual assault is often handled poorly by university officials ill-equipped to adjudicate violent crimes; that sexual assault, on-campus and off, is not a rare or inconsequential crime; and that cultural pressures women face to not report these crimes are harmful and need to be dismantled. One reporter allowing the sensational power of one individual’s story to cloud her professional judgment shouldn’t close this larger and more important conversation."
- Erin Keane on why we shouldn't overgeneralize the importance of the new details emerging in Rolling Stone's UVA rape story
"Don’s right, of course: a public debate about an alleged rape would be a nightmare. Anonymous accusations are risky and sometimes women lie about rape (Hell, people lie about everything). But on a show dedicated to fantasy journalism, Sorkin’s stand-in doesn’t lobby for more incisive coverage of sexual violence or for a responsible way to tell graphic stories without getting off on the horrible details or for innovative investigations that could pressure a corrupt, ass-covering system to do better. Instead, he argues that the idealistic thing to do is not to believe her story. Don’s fighting for no coverage: he’s so identified with falsely accused men and so focussed on his sorrowful, courtly discomfort that, mainly, he just wants the issue to go away."
- Emily Nussbaum on why "The Newsroom"'s campus rape episode is so troubling
"I know this isn’t an award because I’m a woman or because I’m African American. I know that it’s really about breaking the glass ceiling that exists in the face of being a woman and being black in this very male, very white town. But I haven’t broken through any glass ceilings. […] If I’d broken the glass ceiling, that would mean I would have made it through to the other side. Where the air is rare. I would feel the wind on my face. The view from here — way up here where the glass ceiling is broken — would be incredible. Right? So how come I don’t remember the moment? When me with my woman-ness and my brown skin went running full speed, gravity be damned, into that thick layer of glass and smashed right through it? How come I don’t remember that happening?"
- Shonda Rhimes on why she doesn't think she's broken any glass ceilings as a powerful African-American woman in Hollywood

"By focusing on the few women that made it to the top...it's making it seem like everything is ok. Portrayals of people in certain roles tend to be more consistent in everyday life. … people should celebrate the women who made it, but still seek to normalize the concept of women in technology."
