I hate how she twists arguments. For example: 80% of refugees are women and children, so women have it bad. In a 'normal' family (2 parents and 2 children) already 75% of people are women/children. While there is some disparity between 75~ 80, it's not nearly like the 20-80 she insinuates.
Out of curiosity I tabulated all UNHCR stats for Africa (over 8.2 million refugees and over 450 camps) and not even 51% of these refugees are female.

"So perhaps you need to consider issues such as race, and class instead of blaming women for your problems."
When did I say that women are to blame for men's issues? I'll answer that for you: NEVER.

Men run the world and look at the mess we have?
The mess that allows you to talk on a global information network holding the entire sum of human knowledge which can be accessed by billions? The mess that allowed you to fly at hundreds of miles an hour through the air to talk at this conference?
What a joke. By every measurable statistic, literacy, life expectancy, child mortality--the world has become a better place to live every year. Be rational, NOT passionate like this lady.

And what I'm saying is that the distribution is so perfectly equal between the male and female gender that it is a distribution of 49.48% and 50.52%. In other words, neither men nor women are displaced significantly more than the other gender. We are talking about an imbalance of ~20.000 people on a scale of 8 million.

What I'm saying is that most of the time, the men are not the ones "displaced" - which means those who flee a war, etc.... because the men are the ones who are FIGHTING in the war which the "displaced" persons fled.

I meant the refugee statistics, not the monetary ones.
And those refugee stats can be, and likely are, true. If you have 5 people, 1 mother, 1 father, 2 boys and 1 girl, then 80% are women OR child and 20% male AND adult. But gives the wrong impression because it's not merely about gender, nor merely about age.

The statistics are valid? I would need a citation for every single one of those claims. By her numbers, the women in Canada ALONE earn 1/4 of the total wealth EVERY YEAR that she claims is all that women EVERYWHERE own. Also, if 80% of displaced persons are women and girls, it's because the wars they flee are eating all the men, who are largely dead before "displaced" is even a possibility. "For every dollar given to a women's program, $20 is given to a men's program". Citation please...
