Review of deleted content

User @MrOllie seem to have deleted sourced content added by some student as part of their academic project. It's understandable that being newbies their content may not be perfect but academic student community has made substantial contributions to women related topics over the years and I suggest review of said deletion, by women related projects and previous article contributors, to find if any supportive action may salvage any suitable content rather than just blanket deletion.

Plutonic?

I don't know what wikt:plutonic means in this sentence:

This is especially evident in what Hollinger references as "ambiguous lesbian cinema," where "the sexual orientation of its female characters is never made explicit, and viewers are left to read the text largely as they wish," preventing the fetishization of the lesbian identity by heterosexual male viewers by blurring the line between plutonic and platonic relationships between women.

The section was added by a student editor in 2020, but the source doesn't mention "plutonic" at all. I am tempted to just change it to "non-platonic" or "romantic" or something. Cheers, gnu 57 16:58, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, or "erotic", "sexual" .... I'm not sure what this is doing in an article on the Male gaze though. Student essay running wild? Johnbod (talk) 19:35, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
