feminists to u.n.: impose a 30% gender quota for women in all peace negotiations, and ask donor governments to spend 15% of peace aid on women's initiatives

There have been no female chief mediators in UN-brokered peace talks and fewer than 10% of police officers and 2% of the soldiers sent on UN peacekeeping missions have been women

Those are shocking statistics.

Nothing shocking about it at all. If anything I am surprised that as many of 2% of the soldiers have been women - in the British Army they are, quite correctly, not involved in front-line combat. A society should protect women and not put them in harm's way.

Men and women are different. This is apparent from the earliest stages of childhood and will never change.

See this is the problem. This attitude. You can't support this initiative and classic gender roles and dynamics at the same time. You can't have it both ways. Gender doesn't matter here, but does there. You either recognize that there are differences and thus they must be accounted for or you don't and that all things must be treated equally.

"Around the world, women make peace in their homes and communities on a daily basis."

They start off the article with a claim, and do not provide evidence.

"women took a broader view of peace that included basic rights such as freedom from violence in the home, as well as education and healthcare."

Then why are women responsible for almost half the divorces which were caused by domestic violence?. Why are feminists destroying the educational opportunities of males? And why are feminists advocating inequality in healthcare?

"most women did not consider themselves to be living in peace."

Even though men are much more likely to be the victims of violence than women are?

""We're not talking about a big war," said one woman from Afghanistan, "but peace for us also means no domestic violence.""

Then do ur part to stop half of it by not doing it yourself.

"Womankind's chief executive, Jackie Ballard, called for more money from Britain's "conflict pool", earmarked for peacebuilding, to be spent on women."

Here's a question. If women are so good at 'peacekeeping', why aren't they in these positions in the first place?

"It is shocking that for millions of the world's poorest people their gender is the biggest barrier to a healthy and secure life."

I know it is sad. Its sad that the mass majority of the homeless are male.

"A world profile on women, using selected economic and social indicators, reveals that women constitute one half of the world population and one third of the official labour force; perform nearly two-thirds of work hours; but according to some estimates receive only one-tenth of the world income and possess less than one-hundredth of world property."
