RIVETING NEWS: BadRep Towers is changing its ISP! This means the internet connection may be a bit ropey for the editor! So we’re hoping to have a post a day like we normally do, but hold on to your hats if we don’t quite hit our schedule this week. On to the links!<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, but for anyone who’s not seen it: The New York Times<\/strong> features an article on the gender disparity in wikipedia editors<\/a>.<\/li>\n
Linked to by commenter Ian on our first Pirate Women of History post<\/a>, this page is from a reenactment site, but basically quite a good pile of historical info, links and lists about women in martial leadership through history<\/strong><\/a>. Also relevant for anyone unpersuaded by the arguments in the recent Assassin’s Creed debate<\/a> about Activities An Independently-Minded Female Character Can Be Doing In A Period Setting Apart From Sex Work (Which Is Fine, But Not The Only Available Activity For A Scriptwriter). And WHERE IS THE NEXT PIRATE POST, I hear you cry? PANIC NOT, DEAR READERS. It’s in the works.<\/li>\n
It’s Women in Horror Recognition Month<\/strong>, if you didn’t know. Stuck to name many women authors and directors working in the horror genre that aren’t male? It’s not for lack of women, that’s for sure, and you can discover many of them at Melissa Helwig’s Little Miss Zombie blog<\/a>, Maura McHugh’s blog on Splinister.com<\/a>, and Re\/Action magazine editor Sarah Dobb’s blog<\/a>.<\/li>\n
And while BadRep struggles through a storm of BT Line Rental Negotiations to hold on to its Internet Connection Hat, why not order your copy of Re\/Action magazine<\/strong>, issue 2<\/a> (check out the rockin’ cover). We’ve stocked up on our reading materials for the internet drought; drought or no drought you should check it out anyway. Good stuff.<\/li>\n
Salon<\/strong> sums it up: What Not To Say About Lara Logan.<\/a> (Discusses sexual assault.)<\/em><\/li>\n
Meanwhile, Eulogy<\/strong> magazine are covering LGBT History Month<\/a> – from the point of view of a magazine themed around death, but good to see it on there.<\/li>\n
Em Carroll<\/strong> has drawn a short, beautiful comic for Valentine’s season<\/a>.<\/li>\n
Do you play computer games? Then hopefully some of the refrains on\u00a0 Fat, Ugly or Slutty<\/strong><\/a> won’t have happened to you! They say: Some players like to send creepy, disturbing, insulting, degrading and\/or just plain rude messages to other online players, usually women. We think this is funny.<\/em> Could be triggering for some, but it’s a nice demonstration of solidarity. And here’s an article about the creation of the site<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
