Okay, so I've put my name down for the gender bias task force (Professor Strassmann is already a member).

I also wanted to say that, I get a sense from a number of these threads that it is not just a case of finding projects / ambassadors / systems etc. to tackle the issue, but also a language to communicate in, a language that 'frames' the debate. For instance, in the recent debates concerning making Michele Merkin glamour model photo 'picture of the day' how much simpler would it have been to say, "Oppose: I am supporter of feminist economics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminist_economics ) and the capability approach (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capabilities_approach ) and I feel having this image as POTD is an attack on both and therefore it would breach NPOV."

I've been creating articles relating to feminist economics for a while now, mostly blps, but also one for the International Association for Feminist Economics (IAFFE). Professor Strassmann and Professor Berik are co-editors of the peer-reviewed journal "Feminist Economics" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminist_Economics_%28journal%29 ). There is an emphasis in the topic on how women are perceived, including self-perception, how that translates to the amount of say they have in decision-making, bargaining power, and their well-being. In the early days of feminist economic discussions it was used to figure out what was happening to women in the developing world. An example narrative might be - a woman in India who makes cloth bags and her husband sells them, in an interview she says, "Without my husband I would starve." She says this because he sells the bags, the truth is it is an equal partnership, if she didn't make the bags in the first place then he would starve. If both she and her husband regard him as the important one then it has a knock-on effect to the distribution of the income / food / resources in their household. Feminist economic theory, however, can be applied wherever women have to negotiate, so the work of feminist economists has moved on over the years to be applied to discussions in developed countries as well.

Crucially, from the point of view of the discussions that we have been having in these threads, there is an accepted idea within feminist economics that the sexualization of the media and gender stereotyping have negative connotations for women and girls, to the point of dehumanizing women and being a cause of violence (see recommendations 134-136 pages 38 and 39, in this report   http://www.unwomen.org/~/media/Headquarters/Attachments/Sections/Library/Publications/2012/11/Report-of-the-EGM-on-Prevention-of-Violence-against-Women-and-Girls.pdf   by the 57th session of the Commission on the Status of Women, CSW57, which focussed on preventing violence to women).

Just a few months ago, Rashida Manjoo, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women*, visited the UK and said that the UK has a "boys' club sexist culture" which leads to negative perceptions about women and girls, and that it was of the worst "in-your-face" examples that she had seen in all the countries she had visited. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/apr/15/un-special-rapporteur-manjoo-yarls-wood-home-office

So having an interest in feminist economics (being pro-feminist economics) effectively translates as being in favour of a number of things: education of women including sex education (so accusations prudishness are unfounded); development ethics; a global perspective (which Wikipedia strives to achieve); ending violence against women and girls; and a whole host of other gender and development issues.

With this in mind I've created a template for those interested:

...and, a category to go with it (a sub-category of "Wikipedians interested in economics"):
