So I'm curious as to what women accomplish or hope to accomplish through anonymity on the internet, and I've decided to focus on finding out which they are more attracted to: /b/ variety of anonymity, or perhaps something more obviously socially conscious, like Project Chanology? Does the sexism tend to limit female involvement in /b/, or does it have the curious, ironic effect of drawing them further in? It's not going to be easy to figure that out, but that is still the aim (however ambitious) of my project.
Below I've posted a rough draft of my project trailer to share with my fellow researchers. It was my first time video editing, but hopefully, throughout this project, I'll get better.

Thank you! While I wanted to maybe get a chuckle for that line, I intended it as maybe a slightly humorous way of asking the question, "Are women more likely to be part of groups like chanology (which /b/tards refer to as "protestfags"), than a part of groups like /b/ that are just 'in it for the lulz?'" I'm going to try to get in contact with the reporter for the NY Times that wrote that story, if I can. I don't remember who suggested that, but it was a good idea.
