Pray Tell Why Wrong Sub?

I hope that you are up to speed with the issues of "Gendercide" in Nigeria and other Boko Haram Inflicted states ... and the complicity of the UN and Politicians in both the reign of terror and the reign of Silence. It is a men's rights issue when the gendercide is of the male.

The 10,000 Kidnapped Boys of Boko Haram
The militant group has forced thousands to become child jihadists. As many escape, Nigeria wonders what to do with them.
Over the past three years, Boko Haram has kidnapped more than 10,000 boys and trained them in boot camps in abandoned villages and forest hide-outs, according to government officials in Nigeria and neighboring Cameroon, and to Human Rights Watch, a New York-based advocacy group.
Wall Street Journal Aug. 12, 2016
Boko Haram kidnapped 10,000 boys and the world remained silent
It says something about a culture that prides itself on humanitarian concern that this culture could care so much about 200 kidnapped girls, but not bat an eye over 10,000 kidnapped boys.
The Wall Street Journal published an article detailing the extent of Boko Haram’s cruelty against boys. I previously wrote about how the terrorist group spent the better part of 2013 murdering hundreds of men and boys in Nigeria.These acts made some international news, but it was only when Boko Haram kidnapped 197 girls that the world took major notice of the group.
The mothers of some of the girls created the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls, which went viral. First Lady Michelle Obama famously tweeted a picture of herself holding a sign with the hashtag written on it. Yet during that time Boko Haram continued to murder scores of men and boys. Shortly before and after kidnapping the girls, the group when on a killing spree, the latter of which resulted in about 400 men and boys, including infants, being slaughtered.
This received limited news coverage, yet nowhere near the amount of social media attention that the kidnapping of 200 girls received. What does our apathy buy us? What comes of this level of utter indifference to boys’ suffering?
The irony writes itself. When the girls were kidnapped, I and many others noted that hundreds of boys had been killed and yet there was no hashtag campaign about them. The response, largely from progressives, was that it was bad the boys were killed, but they were already dead and the girls were still alive. Now, there are thousands of kidnapped boys we know of, yet the majority of the media coverage is on the unspecified number of injured and dead girls (who could have been injured and killed by Boko Haram).
Nothing better illustrates how little we care about boys this situation. When the boys are dead we do not care, and when they are alive we do not care.
