Hi IHM, I think there should be a category along the lines of “Popular media promotes regressive gender roles”.
I am posting my blog about sexist ads into “feminism is good for society”, since I feel that might be the best fit for now.

I think this category will be more appropriate –

I was hoping to see “LGBT issues” as one of the topic or will it be covered under Gender stereotypes?
