COMMENT, USA, UK, Australasia– Why does the West play up the gender divide?
We receive input from a variety of professional bodies. One of the has become not the professional peak body it’s supposed to be, but the pretend Institute of Gender Issues.
Fully 70% of their recent industry publication is focussed on women’s issues.
It’s too much.
Gender Divide is damaging relationships
The only mission of this industry body is to focus on promoting it’s own agenda of female superiority. It only interviews women and features only business women in most of it’s publications and presentations.
It’s run by a woman. One of those 1980s women with shoulder-pads and bad haircuts.
The time has come for women to compete on merit. Not solely on a ‘look at me I’m female’.
The whole point of feminism was gender equality. But we must recognize women on the basis of skills, not some imagined affirmative action.
And further treating men as the enemy is one reason why Western marriages are failing at such rapid rates. It’s also one reason for the pornification of male-female relationships.
Let’s start looking at men and women as partners in life. Instead we have the gender divide.
Let’s end the Gender Wars
It’s time we stopped creating artificial divisions and aggressive women with bad haircuts doing men’s work for them.
Next time you go to an industry function look out for these stuck-in-the-80s retro spinsters with a bottle of booze in hand instead of a husband.
Bear in mind they drove and are driving the gender divide.
Men and women are not the same. We should have equal rights, but centuries of social difference across multiple cultures should explain we have fundamental biological and psychological differences.
It’s time we acknowledged that, instead of women trying to be men.
And it’s time merit decided promotion and worth, not some quota or stuck-in-the 80s hairstyle with shoulder pads.
The best person should be recognized.
A rights activist incognito, Gillian (not her real name), can be seen scarf around the neck and espresso in hand in city coffee shops on a laptop.

This is juvenile. If this is the level of commentary you endorse it’s not good for the credibility of your site.
Thanks for the feedback Louise.
It states Comment. When we categorize a section as ‘Analysis’ this is a less opinionated, less acerbic, and more balanced. So, Analysis is just that - analysis. ‘Comment’ is opinion. And satire is a little of what used to be called taking the mickey.
‘Comment’ means opinion, whether that be good, bad or designed to provoke. Satire has been used historically when any issue is too ‘touchy’ to raise directly. Ben Franklin was pretty acerbic as a publisher and writer. Satire should make you question why you (or anyone) get so angry about an idea? Because upset is always more about your reactions than the idea.
‘Modern Art’ since 1900 has been about provocation, and I think this journal is modelled after art. The difference is that nobody is shocked by sex or taboos any more, the new ‘untouchable’ subjects could do with some deconstruction and examination.
This is what the writer was aiming for, I would say.
If it was more balanced thorough we would have classified it as analysis. Provocative opinion, is ‘Comment’…!
Hope that clears that up! I could feel the rage… scary!
