= Article Evaluation = For the article that I chose, I plan to add as much credible information that i can. There isn't enough on the current one. I also want to create subtopics instead of it just having one subject as a whole. Hipster Sexism is much more complicated than what it shown in this article, it cannot be adequately explained with what is provided and I hope I can change that.

= Notes for Draft Composition = google search ideas; hipster sexism is still sexism; ironic sexism is still sexism; everyday sexism;

= Final Draft = Origination

Alissa Quart is an American journalist, author and poet that began writing in early childhood. As a young girl, her father was so overbearing that she refers to him as a ‘puppet master’ in an article written in Time Magazine. Quart’s transition from adolescence to adulthood proved to be lucrative and successful as she has written pieces for the New York Times, The Atlantic, Elle, O Magazine, and has four published non-fiction books.

In 2012, Alissa Quart coined the term "Hipster Sexism" partly as a complement on "Hipster Racism", a term that had been popularized earlier in 2012. Her article in the New York Times fashion blog, The Cut, was published October 30th of that year and titled “The Age of Hipster Sexism.”  In this article, Quart defines Hipster Sexism as “the objectification of women but in a manner that uses mockery, quotation marks, and paradox: the stuff you learned about in literature class.”  [2] The term is an umbrella for what were once derogatory words but are now part of common language. Referring to the TV show Girls, Quart gives an example from a specific episode where they have a male character use “pussy pounding” and “skank” when speaking to a female friend.

Where you can find it

Hipster Sexism affects most Americans age 30 and under. Unlike Classic Sexism, Hipster Sexism “flatters us by letting us feel like we are beyond low-level, obvious humiliation of women and now we can enjoy snickering at it.” [2] It is giving people an outlet to slam women without anyone even realizing the severity of the words they are using to describe one another.

Along with television and movie production, Hipster Sexism reaches out into fashion, magazines, photo shoots and advertisements. Urban Outfitters, the retail store known for its exotic and hip fashion for both men and women, has been guilty of it in more ways than one. Their “Eat Less” t-shirt that was formally pulled from their website in the summer of 2010. Hipster Sexists tell you that female self-contempt and fashion-sploitation is funny. [2]

It can even be found in an entire company, not just a singular person. A short-lived company by the name of Thinx is one prime example of this in that its one product was menstruation underwear, a product meant solely for women, yet according to "reports across female focused media," employees that worked for this company were underpaid and offered only two weeks of maternity leave.

Basic Information

It is a form of self-aware sexism that is deemed acceptable given that its perpetrators are conscious of the inherent sexism and objectification of women in whatever action or statement is being carried out by them. It is rooted in the idea that sexism is an outdated and archaic institution which people do not engage in anymore, thereby making the demonstration of sexism seem satirical and ironic. [3] Hipster sexism may be presented with derision and expressed as harmless. [4] Alissa Quart notes this form of sexism as having a particular public admissibility, saying that it perpetuates sexism in general due to a public tolerance based upon reasoning that instances of hipster sexism are humorous.

= Peer Review = I feel like I need more legitimate information to add to this article. I'm having a hard time finding anything that's concrete and not just an opinion backed by research

Does the wording make sense through out?

Do you know of any other examples that I can add to "Where you can find it?" that are similar to the ones I've listed?

It definitely needs more length, I'm still trying to sort out the opinionated information that I have found with a legitimate source
