Some Days I Would Vote To Disband The UN Too

The other day, the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women closed its fifty-first session with a vote.

Did it vote to condemn the brutal rape and murder of women in Darfur? Nope. Did it vote to encourage the Saudis to end misogynist laws against women? Nope. Did it vote to ostracize Iran for condemning adulterous women to death? Nope. Did it vote to condemn China for forcing women to have abortions? Nope.

Nope. None of those things.

It simply voted to declare Israel as being the only country on the planet that is in "violation of Women's rights." The vote passed 40-2, with only United States and Canada voting against the measure.
