RUTHFULLY YOURS

Following its latest media briefing, the World Health Organization (WHO) might want to think about changing its name to the Woke Health Organization.

In the face of a possible global pandemic of Coronavirus (so called COVID-19), the head of WHO says the most urgent priority is how we talk about the virus so as not to cause offense.

He is worried about the social impact of Coronavirus and the stigmatizing effect of words. He claims the stigma is more dangerous than the virus itself and he has made every effort to underline this point by repeating it… twice.

Stigma is the most dangerous enemy we face. Stigma is the most dangerous enemy we face.

You know, even with the duplication I am not really getting his point. An unknown killer virus with no known cure that turned a Princess cruise ship into a floating plague hotel and has killed 100 Italians in a week sounds just a bit more dangerous than words right now.

The Director General of WHO is a gentleman named Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, which I think is short for Utter Madman. Rallying around his own rhetoric, he is leading the fight for unity in the media and online, retweeting a tweet from Twitter that says: “Take care of each other.”

While many Western women were bashing men and complaining on International Women’s Day, women were not faring so well in Muslim countries

International Women’s Day is an old communist holiday that got picked up in the West. It’s become a profoundly ironic holiday as well. In the West, where women have greater freedoms than at any other time in human history, many women “celebrate” the occasion by either moaning about their victimhood, bashing men, or flashing their breasts. Meanwhile, in the Muslim world, where no day is a “women’s day,” those women who try to take a stand are brutally attacked by the mob or by their own government – yet leftist women seem unconcerned by the way in which Islamic countries treat women.

Wikipedia has an excellent précis explaining the communist roots behind International Women’s Day (hyperlinks and footnotes omitted):

After the Socialist Party of America organized a Women’s Day in New York City on February 28, 1909, German delegates Clara Zetkin, Käte Duncker and others proposed at the 1910 International Socialist Woman’s Conference that “a special Women’s Day” be organized annually. After women gained suffrage in Soviet Russia in 1917, March 8 became a national holiday there. The day was then predominantly celebrated by the socialist movement and communist countries until it was adopted by the feminist movement in about 1967. The United Nations began celebrating the day in 1977.

Now that we’re stuck with the holiday, too many Western women use it as an annual occasion to whine about their non-existent oppression, to attack men, or to objectify themselves by baring their breasts.
