Javier Milei Infuriates G-20 by Rejecting Call for Gender Equality

[Quilombo]

I'll give one Canadian example of how the manipulation works. A local woman's shelter wants to tackle "gender based violence" by giving presentations to high school boys. Sounds reasonable. Who wouldn't want to help stop violence against women? But, when you go to the presentation, you find the speaker telling the boys that masculinity itself is the cause of violence against women. When you talk to the speaker afterwards, you find that he is a fan of radical feminists like bell hooks. So, the women's shelter are using the cause of "ending violence against women" as an underhanded way to inculcate radical feminism (which is anti-male and anti-western) in schools.

This is just one example, for the sake of illustration, that I saw with my own eyes during my six years as a reporter. I can give many, many more. All of our institutions in Canada, local and national, have been captured by social justice ideology. If you like that sort of thing, great. Maybe you should move to Canada. I just hope Argentina doesn't go down that road.

So you came to Argentina? You realize with the exception of troglodytes like Milei that Argentina is one of the most progressive countries in terms of women's rights in Latin America. Why not go to Afghanistan if you hate all this "woke gender ideology"?

And Canada is a shitty place to live for several reasons (out of control cost of living and housing crisis, the economy being stagnant, healthcare insufficiently funded, etc.) but if equity and inclusion is why you left then you A) came to the wrong place, and B) must really hate women and minorities then, which again, of all countries, why Argentina? and C) This says more about you then it does Canada.

My unsolicited advice to far right people is that if you want to criticize progressive politics that's cool and all, but you guys sound like most divorced men in history the way you talk about women...

Should they all be identified and deported out of Argentina to Afghanistan?
Only Afghanistan?
No where else?
No other greener pastures for them?

But then there's a problem:
How would you identify them if we don't know what's a woman?

Or would it be more simple ,,, just cancel them all?

It's especially toxic when there's a noise downstairs at 3am and the man leaps out of bed to investigate while his wife and children sleep. Nothing more sexy and egalitarian than a man weighing 50lbs more than his wife/partner whimpering 'Did you hear that?! Can you go check...?'

I have a lot of Argentine friends who are queer, lesbian, gay, and, yes, Trans. There is absolutely no question that Argentina has more than "2 genders".
I suggest you visit the Orgullo/Pride celebration, coming up in just over a week, and make some new friends.
I have been a few times, and its the most peaceful million person party I have ever attended.

Milei is an idiot.
Discriminatory actions towards Women in Argentina will be yet one more thing that ensures he is not re-elected.

Don’t take this the wrong way, I spent a lot of time in Holland when I was younger, and the Dutch consider the Belgians to be very odd indeed, in part because of their attitude to guns. Belgian permissivity with guns is an outlier in Europe, and they are at the top end of the statistics for gun deaths. They do have good chips, though.

As far as the rest of your post is concerned, 250 odd years is enough to get over a gun fixation. I can’t imagine pointing your finger like a gun is a friendly gesture, I certainly wouldn’t take it as such. But obviously our backgrounds are different, in my country the police don’t carry guns, neither do civilians, normally, and, personally, my closest experience with a gun was touching a rifle mounted on a plaque at an army recruitment fair. I kind of like that environment. No mass workplace, school, or just random shootings. YMMV.

Fascinating, I've never heard of an outside perspective on Belgium, other than the Flemish considering the Walloonians to be lazy farmers. Personally I never liked Belgium's paprika chips. Unless you are referring to their french fries (british chips). I agree, the US has a huge problem with guns. It's incredible they are still debating having psychological screening prior to purchases. Some states are just now getting around to the idea of temporarily confiscating firearms after someone has been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder. At least in California they have a 10 day "hold" delivery delay after purchases to help prevent compulsive suicide or murders. One of the first things I noticed after moving from Los Angeles to San Antonio is that nobody honks their horn in SA. You see, Texas doesn't require a license to carry firearms in public and many vehicles have a firearm in the glovebox.

This is where the "gender equality" concept gets thrown out with the bath water. Any social/economic ladder based on meritocracy (education, skill, tenure, etc.) is not going to be "equal" within one gender, let alone both (or more).

IMO, "Equality" is a terrible word to couch their platform, when genders are certainly not equal genetically, hormonally and psychologically. Until proponents replace this concept of "homogeneity" with something more clear like "anti-gender-discrimination", we are still going to run off the rails with such obvious conflations as trans men athletes being allowed to compete with clearly disadvantaged women, allowing trans men convicts to impregnate female prisoners, or trans boys students to assault females in classroom bathrooms.

That being said, some great things have come out of the fight for gender equality such as men being allowed paternity leave, men being allowed custody of their children, men being paid alimony, and adult females being prosecuted for sexually assaulting underaged boys, which are some examples of rectifying what were clear discriminations against men.

The intolerance of masculinity is irrational.
