Random idea: LW would benefit from some good feminism articles. Someone with more money than me (CFAR) should incentivise creation of them with a suitable prize.

But on what? Question choice is hard. (My own suggestion would be something like hold a contest on finding and summarizing all existing criticism of Baumeister's Is There Anything Good About Men? and if there is no good criticism, come up with one's own; but that's just because I regard it as one of the more evidence-backed paradigms.)
