So just because women have faced oppression, that means it should all just get given a free pass to be sexist against men? Women can be sexist all they want and men are supposed to shut up because there are examples of sexism against women? You continue to miss the point, Nick. By the Acts mentioned, women are not given a free pass to be sexist. Nor do the Acts say men should shut up. Women are given a facility for a catch up on historical inequality. Employers are admonished for paying women less than comparable wages, and women should be free of sexual harassment/violence which historically and globally have victimized them far more then men have been victimized. quote:
I'm sure there are far bigger issues that are male issues than the issues mentioned above. Yes, there may be but they have not been sorted by you because you have repeatedly presented trivia. quote:
Not to mention, female issues women complain about in the western world are trivial compared to what women face in the middle east and africa. Oh, absolutely, women in the West have been living their own histories. However, they have expressed concerns for women in agricultural, tribal, religiously rigorous, culturally conservative, and feudal societies. So, for example: The United Nations has organized four world conferences on women. These took place in Mexico City in 1975, Copenhagen in 1980, Nairobi in 1985 and Beijing in 1995. The last was followed by a series of five-year reviews. The 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing marked a significant turning point for the global agenda for gender equality. The Beijing Declaration and the Platform for Action, adopted unanimously by 189 countries, is an agenda for women’s empowerment and considered the key global policy document on gender equality. It sets strategic objectives and actions for the advancement of women and the achievement of gender equality in 12 critical areas of concern: Women and poverty Education and training of women Women and health Violence against women Women and armed conflict Women and the economy Women in power and decision-making Institutional mechanism for the advancement of women Human rights of women Women and the media Women and the environment The girl-child The Beijing conference built on political agreements reached at the three previous global conferences on women, and consolidated five decades of legal advances aimed at securing the equality of women with men in law and in practice. More than 17,000 participants attended, including 6,000 government delegates at the negotiations, along with more than 4,000 accredited NGO representatives, a host of international civil servants and around 4,000 media representatives. A parallel NGO Forum held in Huairou near Beijing also drew some 30,000 participants. The scope of the historical problem for women is demonstrated to be far greater than any of the male complaints and "feminist" issues you have offered, Nick. That may be why your stuff is seen as shallow.
