Poluted by feminism. The United Nations: "[women] only earn approximately 10% of the income and own only approximately 1% of the property".

Impossible to confirm or deny since they don't cite sources. As an accountant I know how difficult it is to accurately define and quantify "income" even within a strict regulatory environment. Seeing this kind of statistic for third world countries raises all kinds of red flags. And I'm just not inclined to give UN women the benefit of the doubt. Too many lies have been told to hurt men by feminists.

[An embarrassing typo in the title ...]

The property part is obviously wrong but what about the income?

We often hear that women earn about 70-85% of what men earn in the first world countries. These countries produce something like 50% of the world's GDP and pay about the same percentage of the world's salaries. Let's assume that women in these countries earned just 50% of what men earn taking into account those who live solely on their husbands' earnings. Even then their share of all world's salaries would be around 25%. Naturally women earn a big chunk of all earnings in developing countries as well.

There are other kinds of income in addition to salary but they can't change the big picture. Women own after all a large part of all property and other assets where interests come from.

By the way, some feminists are apparently changing the property part to "1 percent of the means of production" without realising that it's still absurd. Women after all inherit means of production as well as other property from men (and naturally from women too).

The unequivocaly awesome catapultam habeo dug this up a bit some time ago. You might find their findings interesting.
