"In order to protect women engaged in prostitution, the tendency should be to penalize those engaged in pimping even more heavily." To allay this concern, a Danish representative reported that "in 1999 the Parliament had amended the criminal code to decriminalize prostitution and passive pimping."

One expert wondered how Danish families divided household duties and chores. "It was gratifying to know that fathers were increasingly taking care of babies," but the expert "also wanted to know how they participated in bringing up older children and shared in housework." In response, a Danish delegate assured the Committee that "continuous monitoring was being carried out" on fathers and their household activities.

Wendy Wright, senior policy director at Concerned Women for America, told the Friday Fax that such statements by the CEDAW Committee show that it does not seek basic equality, but the radical transformation of society, and that it would make the same kinds of demands on the US, if it ratified CEDAW. "If even Denmark doesn't satisfy the CEDAW Committee and must change its constitution, then surely no country's actions will appease these 'experts' on genderless feminism," she said.
You've GOT to be kidding! First off, they've got no damn business poking their noses into how I'm raising my children! And it's none of their damn business as to how much I'm involved in raising my children and doing housework.

I'm damn insulted that they've got it in their mind to get into "continous monitoring" on fathers and their household activities.

It figures that a pantywaist like Joe Biden would support this crap! The UN can take this CEDAW crap, rotate it sideways and stick it where the sun don't shine!

There needs to be some sort of grassroots movement to throw the UN out of our country before they undermind it.
