TIL there is a UN Convention on the Elimination of All Form of Discrimination against Women. There is no such convention for men.

The UN is pathetic, they elected Saudi Arabia for the women's rights commission, a sick joke. I'm not even kidding.

There's so much there could be addressed regarding men's equality to, such as:

conscription
unequal pension ages
boys underachievement in education
caning of men only in Singapore

Etc.

People ask why does the MRM have to be anti-feminist. The answer is that feminism controls the narrative and suppresses any attempt to say anything counter to that narrative. It does not allow any other perspective to be heard, no matter how valid.

IIRC the NCFM in the US petitioned every country to support a men’s rights treaty in 2012. Nobody wanted to support it.

If you are interested in using the UN human rights treaties to push for men’s rights then both ICCPR and ICESCR obligate signatories to ensure equal protection of the treaty’s rights between men and women.

I think if your country has sign some additional treaty you can make submissions directly to the appropriate UN committee. I recently submitted something to the ICESCR committee to ask them to require New Zealand to fully report men’s rights.

Because the UN doesn't believe in the existence of discrimination against men.

They're a relic.

How many layers of irony are we on right now?
