Not All Men: A Brief History of Every Dude’s Favorite Argument

69. Here's the problem for you. There is no 'gender war' going on among most people. There is an

inequality problem, across the board, and across the Globe. Most intelligent people recognize that. When equality is addressed for all human beings, and some progress is made globally, all those who are not being treated equally will benefit.

But when a small group of people send out the message that only THEY are victims of inequality especially when people are aware of the horrific treatment of people for a myriad of reasons by comparison, they are viewed as selfish, not contributing to solving the huge problem of inequality that affects billions of people around the planet, and since we live in a Global World, it is relevant to address it globally.

Eg, we here in the US consume products every day that are made by people both men and women and even children who are abused, economically, physically and morally. So to spend time worrying about Magazine covers eg, to a vast majority of those who are involved in the fight for equality everywhere, view that as so trite it boggles the mind.

If women here are buying products made by women in India in unsafe working conditions, eg, they are a huge part of the problem, they are harming women. There are more women in the world than just those here in the US but whenever anyone points that out, our own Government's abuse of women eg, in the countries we invade, they are told they are to distract from the 'issues'. Excuse me but when our Representatives go abroad and abuse women they are doing it in our name. Or when they ally themselves with governments that abuse women and other minorities, they are doing it in our name. It IS our problem.

It's a big world, with enormous problems and while people here are unaware of how their own actions are a huge contributor to many of them while they complain about things like how women here chose to improve their economic situations it creates the impression that they are self centered and cannot see how their issues, and we can only judge by what they say, whether worthy of not, are not the ONLY issues people are facing everywhere.
