My experiences with the Human Rights Commission
have not been very positive in the past (See 7emplies.html
). Its previous head was an old-fashioned Feminist, Rae Julian,
who apparently equated "equality" with "whatever
women want". This attitude is symptomatic of Feminism, whose
adherents neither are able to think clearly nor are forced to
by opponents with enough courage to do so.
However, the issue of the sexist advertisement pictured on the
right is core Human Rights Commission business -- and area where
(following the lead of their British equivalent) they seem to
have been willing to support Men's Rights for many years already.
So I was pleased, but not surprised, when I was told on the telephone
two days ago that the Human Rights Commission had got both the
boutique and newspaper involved to change their policies and ban
advertisements that unnecessarily (see section 27(1) of the Human
Rights Act 1993) discriminate against men in future.
It remains to be seen if the Human Rights Commission will now
prove able to support Men's Rights in other areas -- see "Anti-PC
MP makes submission over airlines seating policy."
