GENERAL GENDER EQUALITY INDEX

In this section are presented discussions of gender bias and its consequences of a fairly general nature. Their purpose is to create a backdrop against which all the more specialized types of bias and the harms they cause may be better understood. The general discussions (labels beginning with A) and individual accounts (labels beginning with B) below are meant to reveal the problem graphically in hopes of spurring all the needed reforms.

This article, originally published in MERGE's former magazine Balance, presents an overview of the reasons why we work for the second half of the gender-equality revolution. Not only has the first half mostly succeeded; the feminist movement has been largely taken over by extremists who now obstruct the second half.

The Edmonton Journal's news coverage of MERGE's human-rights win over biased family-violence literature and of its consequent press conference was basically fair and accurate. But we felt a sidebar article, one on various earlier gender-equality efforts of Professor Christensen, was prejudicial. He submitted this piece to correct the record, but the Journal ignored it. (Because this letter was a personal reply to comments about Professor Christensen personally, it does not necessarily reflect MERGE positions.)
