Just posting to acknowledge that sometimes feminists do bring about positive change!

I think @imnobody4 has a thread in this also - just in case you're concerned there no one has seen the news.

I think it's great as language in the media is really important.

Great news :) Lets hold them to account on it and complain about every article that breaks those guidelines.

That is good news, though tragic that it needed to be written.

That is good news.

A somewhat similar case of media misdescription is the term ‘child pornography’ being used instead of the accurate ‘images of child sexual abuse, used for arousal’. Is there any pressure from regulators to change this wording also?

Yes have just seen the other thead. I didn't realise as the title was a bit obscure what it was about!
