additional sourcing
I agree with the tag. A possible second source is mentioned in a reference, and it likely has more information for this article: Yang, Mayfair, From Gender Erasure to Gender Difference: State Feminism, Consumer Sexuality, and Women's Public Sphere in China, in Yang, Mayfair, ed., Spaces of their Own: Women's Public Sphere in Transnational China (Minneapolis: Univ. of Minnesota Press, 1998). Also: Carapico, Sheila, Women and Public Participation in Yemen, in Middle East Report (Nov.–Dec., 1991), p. 15.

 * More information that's likely useful here is at the feminism in France article and the prostitution in France article's section on state feminism; in Hernes, Helga, Welfare State and Woman Power: Essays in State Feminism (1987); in Emerging State Feminism in India: A Conversation with Vina Mazumdar, in International Feminist Journal of Politics, vol. 9, issue 1 (March 2007), pp. 104–111 (cited in the article on Vina Mazumdar); and in Valente, Celia, The Politics of Prostitution: The Women's Movement, State Feminism and Parliamentary Debates in Post-Authoritarian Spain (Belfast: Queen's University, 2003) (cited in the article on prostitution in Spain).

information quite incorrect

 * (I separated the IP editor's post into its own topic/section and titled it. Nick Levinson (talk) 00:27, 16 June 2014 (UTC))

The information provided on this page is quite incorrect. It does not discuss the defining features of state feminism and is really misleading in places. I have tried to change it but it keeps being reverted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.11.174.34 (talk) 13:52, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Wikpedia tries to reflect sources rather than try to be independently correct; the latter would be original research, which is excluded from Wikipedia. When a source is cited, it helps to add a page number from the source. We don't generally delete sourced content, but often add to it, even when perspectives are in disagreement. Gender mainstreaming is a separate subject; if it is sourceably relevant to state feminism, that relationship has to be made clear. Nick Levinson (talk) 00:33, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Fabianism
Inviting further research to establish relevance: "[M]embers ["of the Fabian Society (established in London in 1884)"] .... stressed the need for state action to ensure greater equality". Bullock, Alan, & Stephen Trombley, eds., The New Fontana Dictionary of Modern Thought (London: HarperCollins, 3d ed. (1st printing?] 1999 (ISBN 0 00 255871 8)), entry Fabianism (entry by Leopold Labedz) (tertiary source relative to Wikipedia). In Wikipedia, see Fabian Society. I guess gender equality was included; that's often the case with vaguely similar advocacies, if only to enlarge their base of supporters before gaining ruling power and changing their minds about equality. If they "stressed" the issue, it was likely in their literature and, if so, secondary sources likely confirm it (the source dictionary cites, on Fabianism generally, Pimlott, B., ed., Fabian Essays in Social Thought (1984)). Only if what they "stressed" is state control or state leadership of advocacy for female equality or something approximating equality for females, against private control or private leadership, does Fabianism warrant inclusion in this article. Is anyone interested? Thanks. Nick Levinson (talk) 22:25, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
