The UN Promotes Gender Fallacies

	posted by Scott on Friday September 22, @07:04AM from the news dept.
	James Bohne writes "Using tried and true fallacies and half-truths feminist/supremacist causes are being exported by none other than the United Nations. This article featured in the Salt Lake Tribune repeats many of the claims and finger pointing promoting gender polarity and misandry in America over the last 30 years. Typical of good political propagandizing, it is sprinkled with enough truth to create an appearance of credibility to their scapegoating. The fact that both men and women are affected by poverty is ignored. It isn't enough men in third world countries bare the burden of protecting and providing for women and children under the most difficult conditions, they must now bare the social burden of being blamed for the social conditions keeping them and their families impoverished, and the guilt for not protecting women from conditions beyond their control."

I had glanced at a headline on this topic elsewhere on the web several days ago, but somehow I had hoped the whole affair would not have been so laced with hostility and slander. Then again, in today's social climate, why should I be surprised? Really, based on this article, I doubt if a more thorough portrayal of men as the great evil of the world could have been concocted. Apparently even the UN is now a breeding ground for the infection of blatently anti-male attitudes. Can it get any worse? And maybe it's just me, but it seems like the author of the article only scarcely conceals her zeal in regurgitating these misconceptions.

That the UN business is 'blatently anti-male' and slanderous is probably off the mark and a bit harsh. Unfortunately I'm finding myself less and less patient when it comes to recitations of the same old tirades. It's the accusational tone of the article that really bothers me. I'm just concerned that proclamations such as this are less intended to help the women with real problems than they are to denigrate men. Describing these issues so that men in general are made out to be villians is needlessly divisive, and I just don't think that the authors show much consideration at all for the majority of men who are decent and reasonable. Again, good summary.
