Prensa Libre

[edit]

In the History section, a news medium called "Prensa Libre" is mentioned; however, it links to a disambiguation page, which only lists media by this name in Latin America. I tried using Google, but it seems like no "Prensa Libre" exists in Spain. Does anyone know? Lennart97 (talk) 16:58, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the mention. Lennart97 (talk) 23:11, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Andrea Dworkin has been a major influence on fourth-wave Spanish feminists

[edit]

The source given doesn't appear to support this. It quotes her but provides no coverage of her influence.©Geni (talk) 18:21, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article neutrality

[edit]

I am not an expert on feminism, but reading through this I saw some major issues with NPOV, or the lack thereof. To name one example, the lead section claims that themes include "the abolition of prostitution" and "the condemnation of pornography". I do know that these are fiercely contested issues, and many feminists and feminist organizations do not share these view on the topics (i.e. the divide between "sex-negative" and "sex-positive" feminists). The first sentence reads "Fourth-wave feminism in Spain is about digital participation in virtual spaces, encouraging debates and using collective force to enact change." That's not a neutral overview of the subject, that's an opinion and very much biased towards the subject, and a certain view of the subject. That editors may support feminism (I consider myself a feminist, personally) does not mean we can ignore concepts like NPOV. In general, the article does not maintain the encyclopedic language and style that we expect of articles, it reads more like a personal essay. Perhaps the most egregious issue is the listing of hashtags and statistics on their usage over time, I fail to see how that's encyclopedic at all.

I definitely agree that the view is one-sided on prostitution and pornography. When the Spanish government tried to criminalise prostitution through the Ley del solo sí es sí, it was the parties further left than the PSOE who opposed it. [1] But the page has been written as if the entire left/feminism is fighting against a conservative world of pornography and sex work? One wonders if the original author was trying to gatekeep the label "feminist" for one's own views. Unknown Temptation (talk) 22:10, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
