Option 1

 * Article title
 * Kinderwhore


 * Article Evaluation
 * ·The Kinderwhore aesthetic is derived from the underground feminist movement, Riot Grrl. This type of fashion was popularized by the punk movement making the female bands part of the punk subculture, not grunge. · Kat Bjelland originated the Riot Grrl subculture, but Courtney Love was the one that popularized the fashion aesthetic.  ·There should be more credit given to Courtney Love in this article. The article confuses the movement of Riot Grrl with the actual topic that is Kinderwhore.  ·Due to patriarchal standards, this aesthetic was created to counteract the overt sexualization of pre-pubescent girls. The Kinderwhore aesthetic fights against these stereotypes by making little girls clothing grotesque and roughened up. The distressed clothing implies sexual assault, therefore sexualizing the concept of purity and innocence to the male gaze. This political statement rebels against the fetishization of the doll-like depiction of girlhood. Thus, making the description on the Wikipedia article vague, making this form of protest less impactful than it is.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Non-binary gender


 * Article Evaluation
 * ·The sourced content under discrimination has an outdated article (2013) that does not portray current statistics. ·There should be more involved concerning the discrimination that nonbinary people face in health care. “23% have avoided treatment in the previous year for fear of discrimination, and 33% have avoided medical care because of cost” (James SE, Herman JL, Rankin S, Keisling M, Mottet L, Anafi M. The report of the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey. Washington, DC: National Center for Transgender Equality, 2016. ( https://transequality.org/sites/default/files/docs/usts/USTS-Full-Report-Dec17.pdf )  ·Also, nonbinary people, due to the misgendering of professionals in the medical field, could be more susceptible to improper health diagnosis.  ·There is also little mentioned about the discrimination nonbinary children face in an academic setting, where they are at high risk of severe bullying.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Robin Lakoff


 * Article Evaluation
 * As a pioneer of the feminist debate, the author deserves more recognition as she has given a platform to expand a universal conversation. Its contributions opened an array of research studies that focused on language and gender.
 * This article should also focus on how Lakoff’s foundation set a precedent for many works of literature. In the “Talk Page,” this article is deemed with low importance, therefore not giving the acknowledgment the author deserves.
 * There should also be more references that critic her literature and analyze her many contributions to her field.
