NCFM asks the United Nations to end all forms of discrimination against men | National Coalition For Men (NCFM)

Well even I hesitate to completely steal that one. A good summary of discriminations against men, as presented by the NCFM for the UN. One really has to wonder why anything like this isn't considered yet. Some examples:

States Parties shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that the lives of men are considered equally as valuable as the lives of women.

States Parties shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that men have just as much right to be evacuated from war zones as women have (an exception can be made in cases of pregnant women and nursing mothers).

While reserving priority space on lifeboats for children over adults would still be permissible, men must be given equal priority as women with regards to being evacuated from ships (an exception can be made in cases of pregnant women and nursing mothers).

Men shall be evacuated from all other dangerous situations with equal priority as women (an exception can be made in cases of pregnant women and nursing mothers).

States Parties shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that men’s health is given equal priority to women’s health, including in such areas as state funding for medical research. An exception can be made in instances in which a State Party wishes to spend more research money on behalf of the sex with a lower life expectancy.

States Parties shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that all social welfare services treat men equally with women and are just as available to men as they are to women.


This is mostly just common sense, it is kind of sad that this isn't considered already. Read the whole thing here
