WAW sarcasm?

Shoud there be at least a paragraph of the most used context of WAW-effect today? For those of you who live without a connection to teen world, then be informed, that this effect (women are wonderful) and especially its acronym (WAW) has become almost global sarcastic expression when "double standards" are implemented in favor of or due to women. It's also often given as the explanation to a question of why e.g. by replying "because waw".

At least I wasn't able to get any meaningfull references in Google, but that's because it lives in Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram etc... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.153.213.133 (talk) 10:21, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Logically wrong statement

"... found that the effect decreased the higher a country's measure of gender equality. This effect seemed to be due to men being viewed less negatively the more egalitarian a country was rather than women being viewed more positively."

For this statement to make sense, 'more' at the end would need to be changed into 'less' (or otherwise would need to be rephrased). I looked at the abstract of the source, and this is indeed how the authors meant it (obviously). So I changed it. --Felix Tritschler (talk) 22:08, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
