UK worse than Afghanistan??

By trying to make a point that the United Kingdom is a place worse off for women than Afghanistan or Iraq, this funny article unintentionally proves that militant feminists` often-repeated claim to justify gender quota, that higher the percentage of women in political and leadership positions, the more advanced the society and women have more rights and power, is actually wrong. How many people really think that Iraq or Afghanistan is a better place for women than the UK? Maybe only the gender-quota obsessed feminists whose only measure of happiness is the gender ratio at political and other socially prominent fields.

What were the members of the commission thinking? Maybe they, presumably most of whom subscribe to radical feminists theory, were thinking that by announcing such shocking information that UK is worse in women`s equality than such backward countries as Iraq, Rwanda and Afghanistan, they could make Brits feel ashamed of themselves and make them endorse their radical gender-quota plan. However it only reinforces suspicion that externally-imposed gender quota (Rwanda, Iraq and Afghanistan) and artificially high women`s percentage in political and economical arena has nothing to do with women`s equality.

Here are some interesting comments from readers…

You figured it out!!! The western world is significantly worse than the third world.

In fact right now my wife is barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen. Granted she is college educated (graduated Cum Laude), has all of her sexual organs, and is allowed to drive to pretty much any store she wants, to spend money on pretty much any clothing she wants, pretty much anytime she wants, with pretty much anyone she wants.

Your report is so eye opening, I think I will move to Afghanistan immediately.
Another good comment….

Has anyone on this commission, or that angry woman, ever considered the representation based on the number of applicants by rage, gender, or whatever they want to place discrimination? Who cares that the majority of the positions are held by men? Is it not possible that 70% of the men who applied and 70% of the women who applied to the job were denied, but if more men applied, there would stand to reason that more men hold the positions?

Just food for thought here, but it has to be said: Angry Women of the World, this is for you, were the heterosexual men more qualified? Were there other men turned down? Quit crying discrimination when you have nothing to cry about except that someone different from you got the job. Besides, if you aren`t, you certainly came across as a heterophobic female supremacist, and that`s not how you win complaints in the real world. Wake up, there`s competition for jobs and sometimes people of different genders and colors get hired.
