Round-Up: Feb. 10, 2015

• Meet “Hijarbie,” Haneefah Adam’s doll that’s become an Instagram star (Colorlines).
• The Representation Project uses the hashtag #NotBuyingIt to call out sexism in advertising. Find out which Superbowl ads were the worst offenders this year and why (Bitch).
• But there were also some high points. Ms. Celebrates 5 great Superbowl moments (#1 of course being “Beyoncé, Beyoncé, Beyoncé.:).
• Gloria Steinem came under fire for her interview with Bill Maher, in which she criticized young women for supporting Bernie Sanders. But what was missed in much of the coverage was mention of the transphobic discussion that happened in the same interview (The Mary Sue).
• When contraception and abortion access is severely restricted, as it is in many Latin American countries, the Zika virus becomes a matter of reproductive justice (RH Reality Check).
• Women in View and the Directors Guild of Canada are working to increase the number of women directing Canadian TV (Women and Hollywood).
• “A request from your fat friend: what I need when we talk about bodies” (Medium).
• TW: We’re a week into the Jian Ghomeshi trial and watching the defence shame the witnesses who are alleging assault has been…depressing, at best. Canadaland has had some must-read pieces on the trial, including this recent piece by Stacey May Fowles on what it’s been like to watch your friend on the stand. And Jane Eaton Hamilton shares her thoughts on the situation and “the preludes to assault.” Finally, three prominent lawyers wrote in the Toronto Star about how the current legal system doesn’t ensure justice for survivors of sexual assault.
