What’s Wrong With This CNN Article? (22)
Yet another example of CNN's feminist bias
Updated February 10, 2024
CNN recently posted yet another gender-biased article, this one about Indian women and girls working in India’s shrimp industry under “grueling conditions”:
There are AT LEAST two things wrong with the article. Do you know what they are?
1. The article completely overlooks how much worse working conditions are for men.
Honestly, does CNN think that only women suffer from “grueling conditions” at work? Perhaps the men are sitting on their butts in air-conditioned comfort watching soap operas and eating bon-bons — à la Peg Bundy — while forcing the women folk to do all the grueling, uncomfortable work?
Why doesn’t CNN report on the the equal — or worse — suffering of Indian men, who by far work in the toughest and most dangerous jobs in India, or consider the thousands of Indian men who work in the oppressive heat of the middle east’s oil states, all too often dying on the job?
“Despite substantial scientific evidence on the devastating health impact of exposure to extreme heat, Gulf states’ protection failures are causing millions of migrant workers to face grave risks, including death.”
2. The article completely ignores that men are BY FAR victims of almost all workplace deaths
Perhaps CNN should ensure that all its staff become familiar with “Equal Occupational Fatality Day”, inspired by the “Equal Pay Day” that propagates the myth1 of a gender pay gap.
Equal Occupational Fatality Day brings public attention to the huge gender disparity in work-related deaths every year in the United States.2 The day tells us how many years and days into the future women will be able to continue to work in relative safety before they experience the same number of occupational fatalities that occurred for men in the previous single year.
So I forget… WHICH sex is “oppressed”?
