Language and gender - interesting data

This is a link to students at Cambridge's thoughts on why feminism is needed, written on mini-whiteboards.

This kind of data is exciting to me and would make an interesting investigation data set if you could be aware of all the contextual factors e.g. possibly find out how the data was selected, grouped etc from the person publishing the campaign or speculate about that thoughtfully if you can't find it out. Or better still reproduce the investigation with a different set of participants - you could do an investigation similar to that before the end of term using St brendan's students (if you get each one to sign an 'informed consent' form that I could help you devise). Be on the look out for interesting data!
