U.N. Women: Un-Women indeed

So, the United Nations has decided to streamline their efforts to support the rights of women by creating a new organization called U.N. Women. Documentary filmmaker Ami Horowitz (U.N. Me) has written an excellent analysis on this "it would be humorous if it weren't so tragic" situation.

It amazes me that people still exalt the U.N. as some beacon of civilization. With its consistent impotence in the face of:

• genocide;
• terrorism;
• racism;
• homophobia;
• bigotry; and obviously,
• abuse of women

...while simultaneously being one of the singularly most corrupt organizations in history, the U.N. is long overdue for a good, swift sulfuric-acid enema if it is ever going to amount to anything other than being a cruel joke on the citizens of the Earth.
