Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is challenging all governments to reach the goal of equality for women by the year 2030, saying the key is getting men to change their "mindsets."

Twenty years after 189 nations adopted a platform to achieve equality for women at a groundbreaking U.N. conference, the secretary-general said progress is too slow "and our gains are not irreversible."

Question: How can you smoke what you’re made of?

As far as sexual equality is concerned, Korea has a lot farther to go than does the US.

men are key

Oh... So they DO need men! That didn't take you ladies long, did it?

I would like to know if the guy swinging the stick at those poor women is having an erection... That would explain a lot.

It's directed at the US because the US needs to elect a woman president in 2016.... namely Hillary. Everyone's getting on board with the "The US must elect Hillary to prove they don't hate women" bandwagon.

this is for US consumption not the rest of the world. Moon is saying this as a means of weakening the USA further. (IOW he is talking about the military not business)

I am a southern white Christian male from Appalachian area.
That’s quad-fecta of perceived guilt.
I got insults coming at me from every angle.

Don't be fooled. What he is saying is that women are incapable of making it on their own.

Frankly, I’d like to see men get equal treatment. Lets get real people.

[Secret Agent Man]

I am so tired of this class warfare bullsh1t and special privileges and “this poor group” and “that oppressed group” and “all this utter pc bullcrap.

[IronJack]

Exactly what "equality" is it we're supposed to be striving for? Some kind of statistical parity in the workplace? Greater attendance at women's pro basketball games? Giving women the vote? What?

I was under the impression that men and women were already equal in the eyes of the law, at least in America.
