The Announcements: True Government(s) or Mostly-Monogenderment(s)? -
Global Officialdoms Renamed According to Gender and Human Balance
Preface:
This message and the accompanying messages on this site which are being sent worldwide, signify non-violent, inevitable, and urgently necessary worldwide shift. In this age, both genders are equally present on the internet and connected by telecommunication. So, instead of climbing uphill to gradually redress cumulative and continuing wrongs, this message presents a definitional measurable criteria of what human anthropology and common sense require to be true and sustainably viable in peace, defining representation and government.
It puts politicians worldwide under scrutiny to prove their service and worth, instead of asking citizens, especially female citizens and those many men citizens everywhere who care about women as political partners and equals, to overcome current and residual barriers regarding genderism, and associated barriers of racism and ethnic divisiveness, or economic disadvantage or exploitation, which are fueling world insecurity and endangerment. This message can be freely copied, posted, web-paged, faxed, mailed and distributed. It is best read in entirety, but, if you support the following:
The Announcements of Human Definition of Government
you can immediately read the accompanying message:
Telecommunication About True Government
to learn how compassionately and effortlessly you can participate in the speediest transmission of this real, true, life-saving news. This news has already been received by scores of thousands of dedicated activists and millions of ethical girls and boys, and men and women, at schools, universities, homes and workplaces around the world. Because so many realize world sustainability, peace and democracy are urgently at stake, they are speedily sharing these messages with more and more people, and they will soon reach everyone.
These Announcements are the result of the work of women and men and their children from many countries, especially Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, England, France, Germany, Canada, the United States, South Africa, China, India, Costa Rica, and many others, and the friends they have made around the world. It is the product of married couples as well as single women and men, and among them university and college professors, students, and reference and information specialists. As it reaches you, it will also soon reach many well known figures in global and international public life, as well. These Announcements are also available at the website: http://www.oocities.org/thewordongovernment/index.html

1. The At Least 75%-Gender Balanced
(37.5% Female + 37.5% Male) Definition of Govt
and Its Immediate Importance to All Races and
the Earth As a Whole -
From
Pregovernment (Mostly-Monogenderments) to True Government

Officially Transition to
Gender Balanced UP
3. Recognition of
Existing True Government(s) Spread Throughout the Earth
including IPU Gender Partnership Leadership and

With Each Other
4. CEDAW or
HEDAW
5. The Non-genderist Definition
of True Culture and True Economy
ANNOUNCEMENT 1: The At Least 75%-Gender Balanced (37.5% Female + 37.5% Male) Definition of Government And Its Immediate Importance to All Races and the Earth as a Whole From Pregovernment (Mostly-Monogenderments) to True Government:
Any Municipal, Local, State, National, Regional or International Legislative, Executive, Judicial or Diplomatic Officialdom, that is Not At Least 75% Balanced in Elected and Appointed Official Gender Presence, Embodying and Representative of Both Genders (at least 37.5% of offices held by women as well as at least 37.5% of offices held by men), Can and Will No Longer be Called or Considered "Government" or "Recognized" as a Globally Meaningful or Competent Decision-Making Entity, by a Large, Interconnected, Daily Growing and Inevitable World Consensus of Citizens, Both Female and Male, Everywhere.
If they have not reached this percentage of universal balance and representation, such pre-governmental officialdoms do not meet a fully human definition of government, and their elections cannot be considered true elections. Continued perception of or reference to them as "governments" would be disastrous to both genders and to the earth, and will also perpetuate racial, ethnic and interreligious strife, environmental dangers, violence, and all forms of world threat, terror and insecurity. Fair men of all races have come to agree with women of all races that racial, ethnic, and religious reconciliations and worldpeacemaking, including an end to both the climate of terror and the promotion of fortresses of insecurity, will be more feasible and quickly successful in and among truly gender-balanced decision-making bodies.
Pre-governmental Regimes and diplomatic organizations that do not yet meet this 75%-balanced definitional standard (at least 37.5% seats of both and each gender, or thus, have over 62.5% seats held by only one gender) of representative balance will be called and considered "unbalanced mostly-monogenderments" (umms), "imbalancements", "pregovernments", "pseudogovernments","monogenderments", "mostly-monogenderments", "monogenderarchies", "monogender self-delusionments" and "monogendercorporatements", instead, by scores of millions, in homes, workplaces, organizations, universities and schools around the world. Since many of these regimes also significantly underrepresent racial, ethnic, or class groups in their populations they may also be called "racially (or ethnically) or property discriminating mostly-monogenderments", as well.
These words are already becoming household, classroom, workplace and widespread words, among females and males of all ages, to describe untrusted officialdoms and international organizations. All these are definitional terms for regimes that are currently merely pseudo- or quasi-representative, currently self-and-other deceptive, and not yet in touch with full societal realities and technological implications of their times. Such regimes are corrupt-system elected or appointed collections of often confused, sometimes well-intentioned but self-deluded, and/or (residually) misogynist, often older generation officials who are also willing to suppress and exploit not only women, but also men seeking cultures of political equality and peace. Such officials are either witting or unwitting dominators or tokens, alienated from the whole people and their own human origins and human connectedness. They are complicit in profound national and/or global racism, ethnic and religious strife and exploitation as an outgrowth of political genderism or enabling tolerance of political genderism. This is a worldwide problem, appearing among many regions and races, has existed throughuut monogenderment history, and is not entirely unique to any particular region.
However, true government also exists, in many places, True or fully human government(s) are defined as those that have attained at least the 75%-balanced level of representation for both genders (thus, at least 37.5% seats held by females, and at least 37% held by males) and demonstrate cooperation for reconciliation and truth in racial and ethnic matters. Such true government exists as both official nations, states, cities and regional jusisdictions, and also in the form of true government organizations, true political parties, school and student governance, and regular extended family, tribal and community gatherings where decisions are made, as well as the internet, in forums and activities which are gender-balanced. (Announcement 3 below discusses these true governments in greater detail.)
The worlds' true governments/true citizens are already reviewing not just their country's, but also the entire world's, history of gender skew in official decision-making, as a correlate and predisposer towards racial and ethnic conflict, interreligious distrust, violence, and economic exploitation, both within and/or beyond their homeland borders. These true governments and true world-loving citizens everywhere call for a formal global truth and reconciliation to be coordinated by the renamed formerly called UN (and currently more accurately called UUMM, see ANNOUNCEMENT 2 below) as soon as all its members achieve gender balance, which shall be a requisite of voting membership in any globally respectworthy organization that is to be considered serious about upholding the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Such assembly will then reflect the gender, as well as racial and ethnic balance of the entire world, at which time this body will then be renamed the UP (see below), and shall be then considered fit to discuss matters of racial and ethnic, as well as gender, reconciliation, and world true economies and true cultures of peace, that are already being discussed by true government that is already officially, organizationally and collectively present and scattered throughout the earth, but now linking together via this and other shared telecommunications.
Accurate definitional language about government and representation, (and true economy, culture and media, see below) is an attribute of logical and functional humanity. In inadvertently using false, misleading, unverifiable, standardless, incomplete, not wholly human and massively gender-excluding and insensitive language about representation, election, and government and the societal life governments exist in social contract with to serve, such collective misuse of language has made most of the females of the earth and many of their brothers partly or wholly invisible to the world's officialdoms, their media and to much of humanity. They are erroneously presumed to live under government, yet these systems in fact do not represent them, either at all, or reasonably adequately, and as a result, invisibilize their values and efforts, as well. Such inhumane misuse of language has turned the genders (and as an inevitable consequence, ethnicities and races) into victims and oppressors, dominators and enablers, tyrants and tokens, and now cumulatively and immediately threatens life on earth.
By using true language, explicity connected to a verifiable at least 75%-balanced and gender representative definition, all human beings can become equal, mutually responsible and representable citizens. Accurate use of language (see below for real definitions of "government", "representation", "election", "vote", "political party" and "tax") about what meets truthful definition to be called a fully human and sustainably functional, true government is offered later in this message, and at many related websites, such as:

excellent others
Reporting and Statistical resources, such as http://www.ipu.org/wmn-e/c
lassif.htm, and others among those listed above, are here given to help
identify those leading countries, states, municipalities, parties,
universities and colleges, professional schools and online
communities of scores, indeed hundreds of millions that have been
attaining true human government already, meeting or exceeding the
75%-balanced definition, even prior to this announcement.
All these examples demonstrate a globally-jurisdictional, national
boundary-transcending, literacy-and-telecommunication-informed
worldwide social contract and connection, about true and fully human
government, real democracy and peace culture. They demonstrate the
definitional standard for any mostly-monogender officialdom anywhere
on earth to catch up with in order to avoid further, now global
public shame and discredit as a umm, and to avoid further
endangerment of all on their planet, including themselves. All
officialdoms will henceforth either be considered and referred to as
pre-governments or true governments, according to whether they have
achieved the at least 75% representational (37.5% seats held by men
and 37.5% by women) minimal standard.
Officials and candidates throughout the world in national, state
and local elections, and any who must consider what is real vs.
pseudo-voting, must now decide whether to best honor their own
spouses, children and families, and whole and better selves, and
demand tickets that provide the gender 50-50 candidates that will
afford the at-least 75-balanced result of genders in office.
This announcement was derived from many sources that had
previously made public announcements and resources on the Internet,
including Nordic, French, Costa Rican and South African Law, Legal
Intent and Political Practice, and the websites of several major well
known world organizations, previously called NGOs but now called
global TGOs (organizations that enact or promote true government),
cited above. Essential aspects were inspired by what has been called
the Universal Declaration of Gender Interdependence for Government http://www.oocities.org/theuniversaldeclaration/thedeclaration.
html, especially the Paragraph in Section I which articulates the
at least 75% gender balanced and representative criteria. This
document reached us and hundreds of thousands of activists worldwide
on Earth Day 4-22-2002 and offers a good source for the inescapable
logic and humanity of the announcements made here, which we believe,
are urgently necessary to protect the world from ultimate and
immediately threatening disaster.
ANNOUNCEMENT 2. UN/Members Renamed to
UUMM/umms until Official Transition to Gender Balanced
UP
With the departure of Mary Robinson, and when recent efforts to
bring forth more equal female partnership in leadership at the UN
failed, the UN itself brought itself into the spotlight for
necessarily immediate, more comprehensive and overdue reform and
widespread public scrutiny. Most of the so-called "UN" top leadership
has been male, and monogender, instead of balanced. Without a gender
balanced organizational structure, this global organization has been
reactive instead of preventive and unable to prevent extreme loss of
life and extreme tension in many areas of the world in recent years.
It is our assertion that gender reform is the prerequisite to all
other manner of overdue reform at this once esteemed and still
redeemable global organization, which has been, therefore,
temporarily and regretfully renamed: UUMM
We speak here as friends to most of the so-called UN community.
Many Nordic and other globally pro-women and humanitarian men and
women have given distinguised service at the UN. But we all now must
reluctantly conclude and face that cntinued recognition and respect
for this organization, and its member countries, without their
achieving gender balance, makes it and them an immediate danger to
itself and to the world, and an invitation to worldwide violence,
repression and corporate-complicit Big Brotherism that wears both a
pseudo-nationalist and pseudo-global face, according to its perceived
audience.
The currently misnamed "United Nations", and its current member
state regimes, including the regimes that comprise the and
hypocritically mostly-monogender misnamed "Security Council" (which
has proven to be, thus far, an Insecurity Council) as well as the
mostly-monogender "General Assembly", most of which are also not yet
true governments but are "mostly monogenderments" (fall below the at
least 75-balanced gender-representational standard), are hereby more
honestly and truthfully referred to as "The Ununited Unbalanced
Mostly-Monogenderments" (UUMM) by the world public of women and men.
This name is adopted temporarily, without malice, but with truth
force (satragraha), until this organization lives up to its own
standards of humanity and potential.
The formerly-called UN will be considered and called the UUMM
until it and its members reconstitute as a gender-equipresent and
representative body, with both female and male shared
co-ambassadorships of each member country, with their country
homelands/regions meeting the 75% (at least 37.5% seats of both and
each gender) definitional standard of true government within their
homeland official offices, for voting membership. This will be the
criteria, in the minds of the interconnected world public, for
meaningful operation for, and voting membership in a real wholly
united organization that (fairly includes and unites both genders, as
well as nationalities, races and ethnicities, in global decision-making.
A number of universities, colleges and other organizations around
the world have begun to hold periodic "model UNs". Those that have
achieved the at least 75%-balanced gender balance and have discussed
racial and ethnic reconciliations in their sessions, will act as a
public resource model as "teaching true governments", to model the
kind of balance and peace-making not yet possible within the
mostly-monogender UUMM, but anticipated soon by this announcement.
Many of these model proceedings are already online, and can be
considered as examples of true representative diplomacy on the most
critical human and world affairs, more than the UUMM, which is a
demonstration of insufficiently united (missing women as fully
acknowledged and present decision makers) mostly-monogender false- or
pre-diplomacy.
When the UUMM (formerly called UN) organization transforms to a
50-50 gender ambassadorial membership and uses the 75% gender
balanced in the homeland as a voting membership criteria, so that
each delegation has a member of each gender from a homeland that is
gender-representative, the name UUMM can be put behind, and the
organization can be referred to as the UP, (United Peoples), and will
be fit to undertake global racial and ethnic matters of
reconciliation, in conjuction with a fully gender-balanced IPU. Fair
men of all races have come to agree with women of all races that
racial and ethnic reconciliations are more feasible and successful in
a truly gender-balanced decision-making body.
The UUMM official transition to become a true (fully both
gendered) union (UP) will be equally co-assisted by the gender
partnership resources of the InterParliamentary Union (IPU), http://www.ipu.org That is, unless the
IPU itself is not to be perceived, and temporarily more accurately
referred to, as the InterMostly-Monogenderment PseudoUnion, and
similarly temporarily disqualified by the community of women and men
citizenry of the world thinking and speaking with truthforce.
This is not to demean the original intentions. good motives and
extremely numerous good works of many true supporters of the formerly
so-called UN, or the IPU. This is to empower and assist those who
have participated and labored in these organizations in good faith in
not having the original purpose of human dignity and uplifting
compassion betrayed in illusion-ridden, entrenched and
self-perpetuating malfunction. The renaming process and stages simply
announces mechanisms of public reputatinal consequence for further
gender-measurable self-deception. The renaming will provide the
galvanization and then immediate fulfillment of original, too
long-delayed gender-measurable united assemblage and goals to best
protect and unite all people of the earth.
ANNOUNCEMENT 3. Recognition of
Existing True Government(s) Spread Throughout the Earth
including IPU Gender Partnership Leadership and a Great Host of
Others in Communication With Each Other World-Wide
Both-Gender-Fully-Representative Emergency Interim TRUE GOVERNMENTS -
(at least 75% gender-balanced- thus official seats/titles at least
37.5% of each and both genders) Are Hereby Recognized Where They
Already Exist, Drafted As Needed, and Co-Announced Among Scores of
Millions, true citizen/true officials, now made aware of each other,
and detailed at website resources listed below.
The nations of the Nordic region, as well as states and
municipalities there, are true governments; so are all cities in
France (under the Parite law which was flouted in its national
Assembly/Presidential pseudo-election but has already achieved
success in cities), many other states and regions in many countries,
including the US (California Congressional delegation and many of its
city governments), many other cities, tribes and regions in the US,
as well as their counterparts in India, South Africa, Costa Rica,
Germany, Austria, Belgium, Canada, many other countries and
municipalities worldwide, many university and college, governing
bodies, school boards, many political parties in many countries, and
other governing bodies are already TRUE GOVERNMENTS. These have
already achieved the at least 75% gender balanced (37.5% + 37.5%)
definition true government that represents all citizens living in or
comprising respective jurisdictions. Women in women's organization
that promote fair and equal representation for women, and men's
organizations that support them, also comprise true governments.
Thus, many free, true citizens/true leaders (as opposed to
mostly-monogender-perpetuating self-deluded
victims/tokens/oppressors) of the world and its various regions and
countries already exist, in true governments of nations, states,
cities, universities. colleges, organizations, homes and workplaces,
and are being connected with each other, and their true constituents,
all over the world, online and by fax by announcements such as this
one. Together, they already represent the true civic
citizenship/government of democracy and peace. Thus, true government
is already "spread upon the earth". More and more women and men see
it. Only some men do not see it, so they need the help of the vision
of those around them to see.
Any person, male or female, who supports and recognizes the 75%
(37.5% of each gender) definitional minimal standard of true
government can call themselves an "interim world true government
official" at large, during the transition of regimes to balance.
These people, whatever their occupation, should be regarded as
holding MORE public trust, legitimacy and authority than **ANY**
official, male or token-percentage female, holding office in a
"pre-government" or "imbalancement", a monogenderment or
mostly-monogenderment, where the officials have not yet achieved the
definitional standard of at least 75%-balanced presence of
representative, fully human, true government.
All heads and members of womens organizations, wherever they are
based, and all men everywhere who publically support the immediate
political empowerment of women's presence in office at the
75%-representative, 37.5%-seat minimum equal to that of men, shall
also be considered your and the world's collective interim true
government, your true citizen/officials, until such time as their
local municipal, state and national governments meet the at leat
75%-balanced definition of true government.
Therefore, for a brief time, if you are a true and world citizen
or peace and democracy, your interim true government officials may
hold a differing national, state, or municipal "origin" than yours;
they may be an organization head or a deparment chairperson as
opposed to holding "elected" office under mostly-monogender
pseudo-election; but you can consider them a true government official
because they share your humanly wise governmental definition, of
balance, representation, and true citizenship.
For a brief time, then, national citizenship under any umm pre- or
pseudo-governments will have no special meaning to thinking people.
Thus, for the moment, there can be no English, no French, no
American, no German citizens of existing regimes, until their sitting
officialdom reaches the 75% representative, 37.5% of females as well
as males, definition government of citizenship. And, of course, once
balance is achieved, nationalism will be no longer be divisive or
chauvinistic, but joy in one's fair land, among the 'world round
table" of all fair yet humanly united and welcoming lands, will
certainly still be celebratable, of course)
Who, in their right mind of humanity, would want to continue to be
a citizen or officer of a mostly-monogenderment, which tends to serve
powerful monogender corporations well but underserve its citizens and
their children? Only unwitting victims and oppressors, habituated
tyrants and tokens, the civically underaccountable and the
excessively materially powerful but the spiritually crippled, only
those used to both half-living semi-invisibly and making others like
them invisible in daily decision-making, would call themselves a
satisfied citizen or officer (or proud spouse of an officer) of such
a skewed regime. All the rest remain deeply concerned about their
official communities, and must take heart knowing that true
government does already function daily in many places, and will serve
them and all, everywhere, more and more as they see it and call its
practical, living and mutually loving name, using the at least 75-%
fully human, balanced definition.
All overrepresented gendered members of any pregovernment
officialdom (thus, any more than 100 minus 37.5%, or 62.5%, of one
gender holding office) are hereby considered in excess, and
publically considered and perceived relieved of meaningful office,
resigned and retired, and all their collective official tallied votes
ignored or perceived as "uncounted", until they collectively
retire/pass the baton for gender replacement as needed so that the
underrepresented gender holds at least 37.5% of seats in the
respective officialdom. This is done without anger or rebelliousness,
and is, in fact, a responsible act of awakened perception and love,
and protectiveness toward the whole world community in all its
locallities. with expectation of fairly widespread cooperation in
speedy resignation/baton passing.
The spouses, staffs, colleagues and assistants (secretaries,
researchers, consultants) of pre- or pseudo-government
mostly-monogender officials who need to retire/adopt the 75%-balanced
standard, can and will assist the process. Some spouses and staff may
choose to resign their pregovernment positions, manifest strikes or
work slowdowns, or renounce honorary titles (i.e. "I choose not to
call myself first lady/special assistant of this or that state or
natinal excess monogender official until gender balance is achieved")
in order to offer themselves or nominate others as true government
official interim replacements, where needed. They will receive
widespread and international acceptance for their truthfulness and
courage in doing so, and bringing the unnecessary and outmoded
imbalance into clear focus. When they do so, they too, will be
considered true government.
But support staff and enabling spouses and other family members
who continue as enablers for self-perpetuating umm pregovernments,
pseudogovernments or unbalanced political parties (that do not offer
a gender 50-50 in candidates) will lose the respect of free women and
men around the world, of all ages, until they show the human courage
to stop enabling unrepresentation, tokenism and domination.
Once batons are wisely and willingly passed to reach the at least
75%- gender balanced level needed, the gender-equalizing replacements
can then face interim gender-specific confirmation elections. (i.e.
special run-offs between women candidates), Or, any non-resigned
"monogenderment office-holders" can run in new special, redemptive
real and human elections in which all candidate lists (parties) are
50-50 in candidate offering by gender, or will not be perceived as
legitimate political parties.
This will likely and easily result in and achieve at least 75%,
37.5% elected presence of both genders, in office. These particulars
are not that difficult to design, and have been already achieved in
many countries and jurisdictions. They are less complex than many
current primary "election (pseudo)laws" and "campaign funding
(pseudo)laws" designed and passed by mostly monoggender
pregovernments, (such as the huge campaign coffer "laws" and
electoral college nonsense of the US which disenfranchised most US
inhabitants in its most recent national pseudoelection) which have
perpetuated and de facto institutionalized residual patterns of
genderism and dysfunctinal pregovernment.
Many world-known public figures, from Sonia Gandhi to Mr and Mrs.
Oscar Arias and Margarita Gongora Sanchez to Gloria Steinen to
Sylvianne Agacinski and Lionel Jospin to Brigitta Dahl to Desmonde
Tutu to Benazir Bhutto to Michael Moore to El Taller to Corazon
Aquino to Ron Dellums to Kim Campbell to Najma Heptulla and Anders
Johnnson to Pentii Arajarvi to Tarja Halonen to Vigdis Finnbogedottir
to Michael Kimmel and Oprah Winfrey to Anna Karamanou and many others,
can be considered already leading true government officials, who
endorse the minimal 75% representational 37.5% seated/official
presence for representation. A longer list of globally well-known
personalities, who will support these definitions, has been made
available at many women's and men's organizations and gender balance
websites such as
http://www.annuaire-au-fe
minin.tm.fr/ Detailed mechanisms and global-international stewardships for
calling/announcing such official interim true governments have been
recommended to the IPU gender partners and gender resources of the
UUMM (formerly called UN) and the general public. An example of one
is available at
http://www.oocities.org/ark_earthinbalance/wheretruegovt.html
and
http://www.oocities.org/ark_earthinbalance/whotruegovt.html Many
already balanced or government-balance-promoting organizations,
parties, workplaces, departments of universities, hospitals, school
systems, and other associations will assist and cooperate in drafting
amendments to existing pregovernment mostly-monogender designed
constitutions. Other resources for mechanisms of change and contacts
for officials is
http://www.oocities.org/urgentupdate_genderandgovernment/index.htm
and the the Women's Rights Committee of the European Parliament
at http://stars.coe.org and of
course, the IPU itself at http://www.ipu.org.
These offer a sample of how easily there will be seen and felt
public consensus and official implementation of this change in
perception of where true government exists as a presence and
actuality, sanctuary and resource to the people of the world.
Implementation of this process certainly can be made
citizen/officials everywhere, in all nations, and beyond nations, in
whole cooperating regions and among trading and cultural partners,
assisted by telecommunicated (fax and email) announcements of the
gender present leadership of the public and those gender partners
within the UMM (formerly called UN) and the IPU in emergency
co-action.
Peaceful change need not take long nor be difficult.
Remember, similar resignations and baton passings from within
official, currently distrusted, failing regimes, along with citizen
activity and awakening, have preceded other major peaceful reforms
and transitions in world-recognized government in recent years (i.e.
the fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of one-monogender "party"
controlled USSR); the only difference here is that the ripe change is
fully global and not merely political-economic, but anthropologically
human and fully redemptively reforming in nature, correcting an even
older and cumulatively more pernicious injustice and error. Like and
even more than such peaceful modern predecessors of great change,
this is making even greater, citizen driven use of mature
non-hierarchical technologies (faxes and emails). See below on how
you can be a part of the gentle but virtually powerful and
unstoppable wave that is making this happen nearly overnight).
ANNOUNCEMENT 4. CEDAW or HEDAW
Will There be CEDAW or HEDAW? CEDAW, the formerly-called UN's
Comprehensive Elimination of Discrimination Against Women, alone, was
never enough and is not fast enough to meet the dangers, and hopes,
of the current insecure, dangerous world situation. Unless is it
accompanied by the 75% representational, 37.5% seated/official
presence standard for each and both genders in government office,
perhaps it should better be called and understood as HEDAW
(Hypocritical (some might say Hellish) Enablement of Discrimination
Against Women).
The road to Hell can be paved with self-deluded good-intentions
without sufficient standards of implementation. Because of the human
self-endangering tendency of self-perpetuation of bad habits (akin to
dangerous overeating or smoking addiction) the paper entitlement to
safeguard against political discrimination does not affirmatively
produce change. Indeed, experience has shown repeatedly that rights
on paper can become a smokescreen, accompanying and even perpetuating
a systemic and de facto hypocritical abrogation of rights and
responsibilities, that tokenizes and coopts those it was originally
promoted to protect.
In a gender-representative context, CEDAW can signal a good
direction. In addition to many state, city, university and other
jurisdictions, several countries do have at least 75%, truly gender
representative government, and have passed a true political CEDAW (as
opposed to HEDAW). This is the confirmed true government, the double
positive for each and both genders. Here, CEDAW means what it says
and is not a hypocrisy. But CEDAW alone without the 75% gender
definitional standard, the healthy diet of real government, is
self-delusion.
Too many countries have signed CEDAW but have remained
hypocritically "mostly-monogenderments" for many years, rather than
true governments. This is HEDAW of words without deeds, not CEDAW of
words AND deeds. And, some pregovernment officialdoms have,
through even more cynical and obvious self-deception, promoted an
illusion within their otherwise literate and modern populations -
that the genders have sufficient political progress and have equal
political rights, and will "eventually and gradually" achieve true
political empowerment for all persons, of both genders, i.e. full
democracy. Relying on the insufficient, token-numbered presence of
women in office, and/or in "honorary", enabling spousal presence,
they promote the illusion that they need NEITHER the 75% definition
of gender (and other affirmative presence) for true government, NOR a
political CEDAW. This double negative of pretense, without even the
already hypocritical mere signing of CEDAW, is just an unwritten,
unsigned but just as powerful HEDAW (actually usually signed decades
and centuries ago in pregovernmental HEDAW "constitutions" and
election laws that once explicitly impeded and now residually haunt
and slow the balance of gender needed for true government.)
In some ways it seems less hypocritical than some countries that
have signed CEDAW but remain imbalancements. But this unwritten
residual HEDAW also only perpetuates an even more arrogant ommission
and lie when it comes to representation, human anthropology, the
mutuality of the genders for good decision-making, and real
government. Female staff, lobbyists, consultants and spouses who go
about business as usual on other issues while tolerating this central
and profound injustice are also HEDAW - Helping to Enable the
Discrimination Against Women.
So HEDAW can exist with or without the signing of CEDAW. This
"eventually-and-gradually" deception, has already lasted over 30
years since the [Nordic] women and men insisted on percentage numbers
of real government for both genders. Indeed, this "eventually and
gradually" deception has lasted 50-90 years since most countries'
monogenderments "gave(?)" women the vote, an inherent human right,
after thousands of years of imposed disenfranchisement under
pseudo-consensual, "legalized" anti-human force, when the "legal"
word for women's representation was Never.
So this eventualism-gradualism, with no sensible numerical index
of gender representation, has now become the hypocritical way of much
of the post-industrial world, That which is delayed too long is a de
facto never, since it may ironically enable world tension, lack of
deep conflict resolution, and catastrophe. If you enable such
standardless gradualism and misdefine it as human government, it
creates grave world danger not just for women, but most people of
both genders, including the young, who will never have representation
because their skewed world could be destroyed before then have a
chance to vote or run for office.
The current HEDAW has defeated the intent of democracy. HEDAW
underpins the corruption of true government by mostly-monogenderment
corporations and oligarchic billionaires, and is an anachronistic
throwback to primitively unjust times before universal suffrage
became officially legal, all while pretending sufficient progress. It
is unsustainable in a literate world, and dangerous in a fragile
world where too many monogender modern-day emperors daily threaten
callous irresponsibility of all kinds as well as aggression. Such
delusion is indeed dangerous and now is immediately threatening the
planet, because in the period of "gap" between HEDAW words and the
political deeds of 75% of both genders present, monogenderments have
and can make political-economic "decisions" that, especially if
misperceived as real government, have enormously deleterious
consequences. Such "decisions", if mistaken as real "government" by
the public, can result in the escalating of testosterone-skewed
tension, regional violence and world war, genetic and environmental
disaster, and the further corruption of already unrepresentative
voting systems, while pretending and seeming to "give rights" and
"represent" the vaguely referred to "more" or "enough" of the female
population (and pro-gender fairness men) when in fact, they do not.
This ironically incites terrorism as a reaction to hypocrisy (heed
what we say on paper or in speeches, but not what we do officially in
fact). It perpetuates nationalism, national self-preoccupation, and
international/pseudocultural cross-fingerpointing and scapegoating
among the mirror-image misogynists of many parties. countries, and
monogender-distorted versions of many religions. It corrupts women's
nurturing abilities by reducing them to cooptable tokens.
This is the very opposite of security, and an outgrowth of
near-delusional conditions at UUMM, and especially (in)Security
Council Members, when it comes to worldwide official implementation
of a simple, essential at least 75% balanced percentage number
standard, on the two genders that globally comprise humanity, in
office, if it is to be called true government that eliminates
discrimination against either and both genders. CEDAW was once an
important move in the right direction. But only the 75%-balanced,
37.5% presence of each gender, definitional criteria for true,
reasonably gender representative government redeems it from the risk
of disguising once understandably residual but now dangerous and
near-delusional delay and catastrophically provocative hypocrisy.
ANNOUNCEMENT 5.
Non-genderist Definition of True Culture and True Economy
It is a misuse of language to misdefine "culture" and
"multiculturalism" as an excuse to perpetuate national, regional or
global political genderist infringement of human rights. While it is
true that many regions once tolerated and both officially and
unofficially enabled misogynist and anti-human rights practices,
these tendencies were never universal in ANY society or region. But
they were used and taken advantage of by officials to perpetuate
mostly monogenderarchies of privilege, enabled and ruled by the most
manipulative and aggressive/passively enabling and parasitical,
usually at the expense of lives and/or consciences of others in their
region.
Once, it was thought that slavery was an aspect of culture. But
most of the slaves, and a good number of ambivalent owner families
who often freed their slaves even before they were required by
monogender "law" to do so, never thought so. The modern world has
come to agree that, for the modern world, slavery can no longer be
considered an aspect of culture.
Even the most regressed and punitive regions always have had many
women and men citizens in their regions, who bravely disassociated
themselves from discriminatory and harassing practices, and millions
more who felt so in their hearts.
Similarly, in most cases, politically genderist cultural
tendencies were outgrowths of physical role and labor specialization
that once seemed necessitated by harsh pre-technological
environments, but like slavery, became less and less defensible in
the face of technological development. With labor saving and
communication technology present, extremes of role specialization and
political exclusion or marginalization by gender becomes a very
dangerous anachronism.
The modern tools of communication and civil government are, as
telephone and internet usership has proven, equally suitable for both
female and male. The place, the language, the "culture" has no
bearing on the desire and ability to communicate with others. The
same is true of decision-making. All people need others, to make good
decisions. Communities need to be complete to make community
decisions.
Democratic decision-making is a mental and group effort, not a
physical or individualistic activity, and requires the balance of
both genders to be mentally (experientally) informed and complete.
It is not surprising that women in some of the world's poorest areas
have found ways to access the internet to seek political assistance,
no matter what their "culture". Indeed, many have gone to daring
effort to do so; and many have been assisted by both men and women in
order to do so.
Culture is a word with a positive connotation, because it is meant
to convey a freely chosen, living practice which protects and
sustains all members of the society, via connection and communication
with each other. The hallmark of a living culture is that is does not
remain stagnant, but responds to life. To be a living culture, it
must be based on freely chosen, mutual communication. Because
representation is a universal human right that protects both the
individual and society, political genderism, legalized or de facto,
is not for most people, male or female, a freely chosen culture. It
is a forcibly imposed anachronistic pseudo-reality, and not the true
expression of any truthful, non-self-deceptive real "culture" that
can continue to enrich life for the many.
Political culture exists within the total social culture.
Therefore, mostly-monogenderments may still exist, but it is clear
that many do not believe they were ever or remain (without defacto
and stuctural as well as legal impediment) freely chosen.
The imposition of, or widespread utilization of outlived, dead,
forced, imposed habit or practice does not make it viable "culture"
on a large, especially global scale, any more than enforced
widespread illiteracy and educational barriers means a kind of
"education", any more than the enforced and perpetuated widespread
presence of mutilation, abuse, burnings or stonings or addiction
makes these acts of "health". It is a misuse of language to say that
any living "culture" that can sustain large scale population promotes
political harassment or political exclusion or underrepresentation by
gender - Only hoarding or misuse of technology, from book to bytes,
ignorance, isolation and illiteracy ever did that.
Genderist "culture" can exist only if it turns its back on books,
the telephone, the radio, the email, the fax, science, technology,
medicine, the airplane and space exploration. Genderism
misinterpreted as culture has already resulted in the mental and
physical maiming and murder of untold numbers of human beings, in
every manner from domestic violence to war. Perpetuating a genderist
"culture" in such an interconnected, technological and interdependent
world will kill the world, and most if not all its population.
Finally, calling a regime or an organization a
"mostly-monogenderment" does not force it to transform into a true
government, a true political culture, or a true peace culture.
Instead, like all living culture, it is based on the mutual
communication of the society to achieve its definition. No war need
be fought to end this political form of slavery and self-destructive
domination/dependence, or to make it clear that it abridges an
important human right to real and peer representation. We will all
simply define things is such a way that most of us will quickly want
to do so. That is the nature of true government and true, fully
living culture.
Similarly, the word economy needs to be freed from an outmoded
genderist definition. Mostly-monogenderments measure economic and
financial measures, such as commercial product, service, labor,
resource and food manufacture and exchange, But they leave out other
equally important valuations, survey and measures, such as presence
of parents (with supportive community) in early childhood for
adequate bonding with infants and young children, maintenance of
family and community bonds, time given to childcare, eldercare,
habitat care and community service, environmental quality, including
stewardship and reclamation of natural resources and biodiversity,
accessible and preventive healthcare in comparison to health
endangerment, expenditure on military and defense compared to
expenditure on gender-balanced education, and cultural exchange and
conflict resolution, expenditure on incarceration versus expenditure
on parenting programs and other forms of primary crime prevention,
and many other indices related to quality and sustainabily of life.
Thus, under many mostly-monogenderments, economic measures have
not been presented in the context of a total or whole "true economic"
observation/estimation. With true government, the word "economy" will
convey a whole balance and more complete, both short and long term
flow monitoring, instead of the overemphasis on only a few short-term
compartmentalized measures. Under mostly-monogenderments, daily,
monthly or quarterly ratings are given only, out of context and
without information on these other societal and environmental
measures. Such always out of context reports are given by government
commerce deparments. monetary departments and even media which are
allegedly licensed by the government for community service, but
provided comparatively little information on the whole economy - of
not just "productivity", but quality and sustainability of life. A
true economy will present a more whole system of "accounting". Many
believe this will bring forth exponentially higher levels of
productivity and true creativity, not less.
Today's world will be quickly far safer if the resources being
used and wasted to build bombs and surveillance cameras were used to
give every woman and man a book or tape recording of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights and the Universal Declaration on Gender
and Government in it, some translation software, and a phone/fax to
reach a true government official in any decision-making body in any
land or global organization that has reached the at least
75%-balanced standard of representation. Then, all the world will
have a global culture - the culture of democracy, the culture of
peace. This is the only viable culture for a global population, and
the only path to achieving and safely using technology for human
service instead of ill and catastrophic death. This is the only
culture and economy that will both allow us to explore space
successfully, while preserving and appreciating our shared earth.
