Option 1
Women-are-wonderful effect


 * Stub-class article; I selected this article as there is a lot of discussion on the talk page whether some aspects of the article are cohesive. There seems to be some conflicting ideas on what exactly sexism is [in regard to both males and females] in the comments as well. I have recently been taking a Women's Writers and a Philosophy of Feminism class this semester, so I believe I can use what I have learned to help improve the article. I also found the article below which discusses sexism and gender disparities, and the women-are-wonderful effect in relation to different societies.

Option 2

 * Violence against prostitutes
 * Start-class article: This article interested me just because of it's importance--one thing I noticed at first glance is that there is only one line in the article referencing the experience of transwomen when it comes to violence and prostitution. I would like to expand on this more, as trans women are often forced into this sort of field out of a lack of opportunity, and then face violence and abuse on a regular basis for who they are and what they do. I believe that this needs to be expanded on, as transwomen's experience is just as important as a cis women's experience.

Option 3

 * Intersex medical interventions
 * C-Class Article: We recently studied this topic in my Philosophy and Feminism class, including an informative article by Anne Fausto-Sterling on how premature genital surgeries can affect intersex children physically, psychologically, and sexually. I believe this article has a good basis, but there are a lot of concepts from the below article that would be helpful to clarify the issues with this surgery, as well as general issues in society's strict understanding of a binary gender system.
