Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S.

  • Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's Divorce Is All Her Fault
    Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s divorce is all HER fault according to Relationship Expert and NYT Bestselling Author Laura Doyle There are only ever two reasons marriages fail: o The husband is not safe--he’s physically abusive, not capable of being faithful or actively addicted to drugs, alcohol or gambling. Safety comes first, and that’s a divorce I endorse. If Ben is one of those three, then she knew that before she married him. Wives always know, but especially when he’s an A-lister like Ben. o If he’s not one of those three, then he’s a good guy. Then the failure is always that the wife doesn’t have the Intimacy Skills that make marriages passionate and playful, even though she is the keeper of the relationship. Jen didn’t have the Intimacy Skills to make her marriage work so she: o Made him go to marriage counseling. For YEARS, but it didn’t work and it never does! 75% of couples who got traditional behavioral marriage counseling were separated within a year according to a UCLA study by professors of psychology. No couple ever got happier by complaining about each other for an hour a week. Like a lot of women, Jen just didn’t have the right information. She didn’t have Relationships 101 in school, and maybe didn’t get good modeling. If you’re from a broken home, you’re following a failed recipe. Also, everything you’ve ever read in women’s magazines is wrong. What really works and could have saved Jennifer’s marriage is learning and practicing the Six Intimacy Skills in First, Kill All the Marriage Counselors: Modern Day Secrets to Being Desired, Cherished and Adored for Life.
