Which article are you evaluating?
Feminist sociology

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose feminist sociology because I feel that its extremely relevant in today's society. Feminist sociology is the study of gender roles and how historically, women were forced into traditional housekeeper roles based on an imbalance of power. My impression of the article is that the sections are organized in an easy to understand sequence, and they did have opposing views in the article as well.

Evaluate the article
The first thing I evaluated was the lead article. This article had a lead of two sentences that describe what feminist sociology is from a defining standpoint, and the rest of the lead is about the introduction of feminist sociology from a historical standpoint. The lead on my article contained information that isn't present in the article, as it is teaching you the history of its starting. I would have made this a separate article of content, and elaborated more on the concept of feminist sociology more inteself in the lead.

The content of the article looks to be relevant and up to date. The article links lots of other sub-articles where further expansion on the subject can be found. There is a section on focusing on feminism and black culture, as well as queer culture that were quite well expanded.

I would have probably expanded on the opposing view more, they did have a small section on anti-feminism but it didn't feel like it was fully fleshed as the sections that were for feminism. They did link an opposing page, so i could continue to follow the stream for more opposing views. Despite this, the article feels like its heavily skewed to one bias, and needs more objective sources cited.

The article is well written and grammatically correct. I did not detect any spelling or punctuation errors.

The article does not have any photos associated with the article, I would add photos that help explain the sub articles and expand on the knowledge.

The talk page is fleshed out and mentions several pain points of the article. The main points is that the page is heavily biased, and doesn't present a lot of information that the feminist theories are correct. Another editor mentions that the article needs help to be cleaned up and the points condensed for easier digestion.

Overall, I feel like the article does a great job at highlighting feminist sociology from a pro-feminism viewpoint, but really lacks on presenting opposing viewpoints or expanding on theories that may oppose the feminist theory. The parts that were cited are cited correctly.
