 ‘Substantive Gender Equality:’ Blueprint for Totalitarian Feminist Takeover

February 16, 2026 – Feminists relentlessly claim that their objective is the achievement of gender equality. But a cursory review of a range of issues such as men’s health, educational attainment, harsh treatment by the legal system, and more reveals an inconvenient truth: It’s men, not women, who are lagging in 12 major areas of life (1).

Unfortunately, United Nations officials have refused to address, or even acknowledge, these troubling disparities. This denial explains, in part, why so many have become disenchanted with the United Nations, and why many countries are now delinquent in paying their membership dues. Now, the United Nations faces a catastrophic “imminent financial collapse,” as Secretary-General Antonio Guterres recently revealed (2).

But seven decades after the UN Charter affirmed the necessity for “equal rights of men and women” (3), major differences between men and women persist:

  1. Globally, 27% of women prefer to be a full-time homemaker, 29% wish to work full-time in a paid job, and 41% want to combination of the two, according to the International Labor Organization (4).
  2. Among Fortune 500 companies, only 11% of CEOs are female (5).
  3. Only 27% of national lawmakers around the world are female (6).

Most persons would view these numbers as a reflection of differing life choices, not a deprivation of women’s rights. But the Gender Warriors see these figures as proof of the continued existence of an oppressive “patriarchy.”

So UN feminists have come up with a deceptive new approach, what they call “Substantive Gender Equality.”

The UN report on Substantive Gender Equality insists, without offering a shred of evidence, that “patriarchal power structures” are widespread around the world. And predictably, domestic violence is portrayed as a “form of gender discrimination and inequality.” (7)

The 19-page document explains in frightening detail how the Gender Warriors intend to implement Substantive Gender Equality:

  • “dismantle the structures and practices that perpetuate the inequalities.” (page 3)
  • “formal equality must go beyond identical treatment and address systemic power imbalances.” (page 4)
  • “equality for women needs to transcend the enactment of laws or the adoption of policies that are, prima facie, gender neutral.” (page 7)

Implementation of such measures would require a vast expansion of the size and power of the state, and entail the marginalization of the nuclear family. Over time, such strategies would ridicule the concept of “human rights” and represent a profound violation of the human rights of men.

Thanks to the machinations of UN feminists, inequality has become the new gender equality. George Orwell would be impressed.
