There is not a single Feminist organization on the planet that has the slightest concern for HUMAN rights, and if you were honest, you would admit it. Your concern is for WOMEN's rights, period.

You are wrong on all counts. Do a little research. Feminists organization the world over are working hard on this very issue. You are being provincial. There are many organizitions throught the world. NOW is not the only feminist organization in the world. I will grant you that they are not expending their resources in the direction of human rights but many others are. Do some homework and you'll find that out.

Where you actually concerned for HUMAN rights, you would include the abuses of men in your screed.

Now I know you haven't read this thread. I mentioned several times that children of both sexes are trafficked and made into sex slaves. (Most of them are female but many young boys are abused in this way too). I didn't mention it yet, but I will now... for centureis right up until present day, men have been held as sex slaves. They were/are castrated as boys and held as sexual servants for other men's sexual use (for oral and anal sex).

And for your information, I was countering the ridiculous notion that all of these types of abuses have recently sprung up since the advent of contraception, widespread access to pornography (and the underlying unstated premis .....since feminism). I was refuting that point. What do you attribute these evils too? Do you have a different opinion, or just want to take one adversarial to any one that I take? Do you think pornography and contraception caused all these things?

There are many people working to make the world better for us all. Feminists certainly aren't the only ones, but they are certainly part of efforts to curb human rights abuses FOR EVERYONE throughout the world. The first part of the plan is to make everyone aware that these things still occur and to correctly identify the abusers as well as the reasons the abuse is allowed to go on. Why do you think these abuses occur and are allowed to go continue? Do you have an opinion? Do you care whether they occur or not? Or is it only important to shoot down people who do care and who are trying change things? Assuming you do care about the subject, what do YOU think should done about human rights abuses?
