New wave of feminism

[DEMLOUNEW]

Can all women interested in helping me with my research on how the media is having an effect on feminism and womens rights PLEASE take this quick 3 minute survey for me :)

www.surveymonkey.com/s/2QYLZB8

Every opinion helps x

I don't think your questions are well worded/thought out, didn't complete it, if you re-post a better survery I will complete it
good luck

Thanks for the feedback , the questions are aimed around the fourth wave and the generation it will be effecting . I'll look into changing some questions x

The questions you are asking don't seem to be working towards answering the question that the survey is based on (which I happen to think is the wrong question to ask). The first question on the survey is like an essay question and in complete contrast to the rest of the questions which are one word answers.

Agree with monkeymoma - comeback with a better thought out survey and I'll be happy to answer.

And the Rihanna/Beyonce question steers you towards two answers, neither of which I would want as my answer.

I hope these questions are a little clearer for yourselves :) really appreciate the help!

It's things like this that give "Women's Studies" the reputation for being a soft subject. You can't even spell "sexualities".

Sorry I'm dyslexic I didnt realise

What does this have to do with women's studies Cao?

It's a survey monkey posted on an internet bulletin board. I'm not seeing the connection with academia.

Mind you I think the stuff about celebrity role models is obnoxious and has nothing to do with feminism. People just like slagging women off don't they? Bottom line.

Maybe it is to give ideas for threads on Mumsnet. A lot of leading bias questions on there." With celebrity culture having such a heavy influence on young women" Is it where your evidence ? Should we be asking who best and worst role model ? Change this idea of beauty ideal ? whose idea ?? Badly drawn up questionnaire and if this is for academic purposes then the data will be refuted.

Ok thank you all for sharing your thoughts, I'm a 18 year old student and I thought I would be able to find the answers and help I needed from parents involved or interested in the movement.

That is fine but you need to research questionnaire and their design. It is so important to be ethical and unbias in your work. What is your course?

Well I have answered it apart from q4 as I couldn't and didn't want to anyway. Not sure the answers are the ones you want to hear.

Oh I see. Really good angle linking to feminism, however you should have had lectures on research design. I knew where you were coming from but just need tweaking a little. Designing a questionairre is very tricky get a good book [Bell or Denscombe and follow guide] Should always get someone to look over it as well.

Don't really want to take part in a survey that encourages the criticism of female celebrities though.

Can I just ask why you didnt answer question 4 ?

Well there was no way of showing best and worst. But more importantly I didn't really want to add to the millions of spurious judgements made on these women every day of their lives. It is just upholding patriarchal values.

Abigail your feed back was exactly what I needed all along thankyou for helping

Also thank you Nyac and imnotmymum

Could I also recommend Beauty and Misogyny by Sheila Jeffreys to you DEM?

You could , thank you very much for the constructive feedback

the discussion on here is very useful even if my survey hasnt been :)

I've answered. Your questionnaire design was terrible, but I'm allowing for you being 18 and not a research-based student

Very much seconding your reading recommendations, above. Happy learning, and good luck!

Yes good for you for being interested in this at eighteen and having the gumption to go and do some research. There's nothing wrong with the ideas behind the survey and what you're trying to find out - you might just need to think through the questions a bit more.

I'm doing a social science degree atm, for our module on social science research, we used the book 'research with people:theory plans and practicals by Holt and Walker. This should be useful to you if you are wanting to conduct an academic study. Sounds like an interesting topic, hope you haven't been put off and come back with an improved questionnaire. good luck
