The Global Gender Gap Report

This problem honestly pisses me off the most among all the things that men face worldwide. It is the backbone of the normalisation of ignoring modern male issues imo. I don’t honestly feel visceral rage often, but this sets me off man.

The World Economic Forum is a (self anointed) global thought leader on politics, sustainability, innovation and equality.

In fact, I actually know the World Economic Forum quite well, I’ve worked with them professionally dozens of times; we’ve collaborated on important projects, we’ve shaken hands and sat round tables together, I’ve even scaled the icy mountains of Switzerland to spend the week documenting the ultra VIP Davos event with them.

Their Global Gender Gap Report is a highly anticipated and respected annual barometer for how the world is doing on its meandering journey toward equality, but, with no sense of irony, the index itself is systemically sexist.

So let’s turn the beady eye of equality onto those pointing the finger, is the GGGR sexist and how?

It’s time to say GG, to the GGGR

Ah yes, the "equality for us in what we care about, not for you" patriarchy that... has men be objectively worse in every metric that matters aside from the mysterious "wage gap" that doesn't exist beyond the earnings gap.

This reminds me of the Times Higher Education Gender Equality ranking. In 2021 it proudly lists the "Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University" on the top of their list. Apparently they rank based on: "This table on SDG 5 – gender equality measures universities’ research on the study of gender equality, their policies on gender equality, and their commitment to recruiting and promoting women.". A woman's university - thus with only women, in a place that thinks that it is immoral to have a man and woman studying together, which is ranked as the most "gender equal".

True equality will be achieved when girls and women make up 100% of the school population and 0% of the prison population. /s

William Collins did a good article on the Global Gender Gap Report some years ago.

This sums up my opinion about the WEF: Capture of democratic structures and institutions.

"Parity is considered as achieved if, on average, women live five years longer than men." – The World Economic Forum, GGGR Methodology and Technical Notes. Equality is now officially achieved if men die five years younger. There are even countries where women are living only four years longer than men, but are still scored by the GGGR as 'disadvantaged'.

That's just... wow. I have no words.

Your posts are amazing! Please keep up the good work.

I don’t even know what to say other than that’s f*cked up.

As the mother of a son, I’m wondering where are all the other mothers of sons?? Our sons matter too and yet I feel like I’m shouting in to the void when I try to get anyone to give a damn.

Another exquisite production!

I'm not a conspiracy nut but jesus fuck!

reddut_gang · 2021-11-23T00:00:54+00:00

And this right here, is why I'll never be a feminist. I can ignore the misandry, I can overlook the vast amount of flaws and inconsistencies, but this right here, this is why I'll never be a feminist. You hit the nail on the head. Equality doesn't mean equality anymore.

SamaelET · 2021-11-22T19:04:52+00:00

How do they came up with 5 years ?

Do they also consider the countries where the gap is higher than 6-7 years old as 'equal'?

This is incredible how far they will go to artificially make countries look like sexist against women.

peanutbutterjams · 2021-11-22T02:18:58+00:00

Another excellent post.

One clue may be that this is produced by the World Economic Forum:

The foundation, which is mostly funded by its 1,000 member companies – typically global enterprises with more than five billion US dollars in turnover

These are all companies who benefit from dividing the working class. Of course they are going to hire the most Woken people they can to write this kind of material.

Also, the life expectancy bit was priceless. What they're saying is that "Men DESERVE to die 5 years sooner to pay for the crimes of the rich", the ones who actually oppress women (by way of oppressing humanity).

So rich people paid for a report to blame men for their own crimes.

That's not to say your example is well and useful but this does show how blatant the exploitation of feminism/wokeism by the 1% can be.

Great work as always by the Tin man. It's so important to know this stuff since these indexes are so often used against men's issues

Dembara · 2021-11-21T15:46:31+00:00

Tbf, empirically I see the reason you might want to do that. It is much better if you look at the hypothesis "men are overperforming/overrepresenting women in [field] in [country]" For statistical testing and then also run the same test for the hypothesis "women are overperforming/overrepresenting men in [field] in [country]." For a single report with some more qualitative discussion it may make more sense to focus the report on discussing the areas where the the first hypothesis fails to reject the null hypothesis at some level of significance and report on those areas where the second hypothesis fails to reject its null with the same significance. The issue is the second hypothesis isn't tested or explored.

MusicalAnomaly · 2021-11-22T02:09:09+00:00

Much of this is accurate, but I believe the life expectancy issue should be reconsidered. This may actually fall into the same category as other metrics where equal opportunity does not yield equal outcomes. The way to discover this is to do studies cross-culturally, and remove variables that would indicate a cultural influence, so that you are only left with the statistics of our human biology.

What I mean specifically here is that it may actually be the case that women are biologically predisposed to live a few years longer than men, just as they are likely to make up a fraction of a percent more of the population than men. We should always aim to calculate equality relative to a culture-neutral baseline. Failing to do so dooms us to forever be fighting against our biology, pretending that inherent differences are the result of social injustice.

Juhnthedevil · 2021-11-21T22:25:50+00:00

I think for the 5 more years for women, they take for account that women have a stronger immune system than Men. So those 5 years are supposed to represent this bonus that they can't widen/change.

ezekielbeats · 2021-11-22T08:16:10+00:00

I agree, we should compare equality of opportunity, not outcome. Comparing outcome can be very dangerous.

But this report highlights huge disparities between genders which solely applying to the subtle differences in personality is ignorant. Imo.

It's going to take a few generations yet to get rid of the discrimination that impacts opportunity for women today. It's the same when it comes to racism. I remember my own family members saying things like "be careful around him" and it's was literally just because the person was a Muslim.

We don't get rid of that shit because laws change.

Void1702 · 2021-11-21T21:03:32+00:00

There is no sexual dimorphism in the human brain, meaning that any difference of outcome is necessarily due to sexism, either directly (because women are paid less), or indirectly (because gender norms push them to take lower paying job). If there was no such gender norms, due to the abscence of sexual dimorphism, we would expect similar life choices on average (because of the law of large numbers)

The other problems are real tho

Darth-Jar-Jar-Binks- · 2021-11-21T15:28:18+00:00

This kind of thing can be so frustrating sometimes.

darksedan · 2021-11-21T15:45:02+00:00

This is infuriating!

mathrockwow · 2021-11-25T12:40:07+00:00

I don't think it makes sense to look at countries like Afghanistan and go "men have a shorter life expectancy, therefore their 'oppression' is similar in relevancy".

Women are fucked in pretty much all countries outside of the west and some industrialized asian countries. It kind of does makes sense to exclude some categories.
