Munroe Bergdorfas UN Advocate for ending VAGWG

Do you have to be appointed as an UN Women advocate or can you self-identify as one?

i We’re helping free girls from the child abuse of FGM by working on the ground with communities, religious leaders and governments

This is the group that has made Munroe an advocate

@Ringdonna

Why did you post this? And what's your opinion on it?

"The UN has previous for this kind of nonsense, I believe"

All sorts of vapid celebrities are given bogus UN positions, it has has so commonplace that I lose track of them. I didn't know they had moved on to twitter trolls.

This is a potentially important appointment. If true (and I say if because MB has announced other appointments that were not entirely based in fact) then I wonder what The qualifications were for the role and what MB brings?

Given that it is widely acknowledged that they called a lesbian a ‘barren hairy dyke’.

Given that they were sacked from a leading beauty brand for their comments in relation to ‘all white people are racist’.

Given that they were let go from their last ambassador role for encouraging young and vulnerable people to contact them privately and thus breaching safeguarding criteria.

Given they are well known for appearing in glamour shots for publications known to objectify women’s bodies. While telling women they should not talk about their bodies when campaigning for their rights.

To keep getting handed such spectacular positions representing vulnerable people is quite an achievement.

Perhaps UN-WOMEN is supposed to be a literal thing - we now have UN-WOMEN and NON-MEN.

From Sonia on twitter

It's not gender that creates a pay gap, it's sex. It's not gender that forces child brides to marry paedophiles, it's sex. Carving girls up for FGM is not about gender, but sex. Rape is not gender-based but sex. Anyone promoting idea that gender creates the inequality are liars.

Presumably the UN feels it is doing girls useful service in reminding them that there if they achieve something in sport, banking, the UN etc, they run the risk of a male self IDing as a woman and taking their place.

Because women like Pips, Rache, or Munro’s will always be preferred.

Does anyone really think this self promoting idiot really gives a stuff about women and girls?

That's the thing isnt it. I mean they wont care at all. It's all just validation they were chosen for a female based campaign. That's all its about for them. Meanwhile a hair cut and a pair of trousers has never ever stopped a woman or girl being harassed or raped or abused

Yes zebra.

So erm. Great

And the message is all about gender

When did the 200 million girls subjected to FGM were able to say I identify out of this gender so don’t do this to me?

Ah, delighted to hear that someone who calls women "fat, hairy dykes" and tells women not to centre female biology, or indeed women, in feminism, is becoming such an important Advocate for women and girls.

Does anyone really think this self promoting idiot really gives a stuff about women and girls?

The same person who used the phrase 'barren hairy dykes'

The same person who told women to stop referencing their biology and reproductive capabilities because it gave Munroe sad feels.

I can't think why they keep getting hired and why an org like UNWomen would insult women everywhere by insisting that this person represents us or has anything to say that we want to hear.

Really they can all just fuck off to the far side of fuck.

I thought those links referred to 'unwomen' instead of UN Women, Mockers.

How long before we are told that women are oppressed because of their penises?

The UN has previous for this kind of nonsense, I believe?

The usually use the word “gender” too.

someone's desperately trying to reinvent themselves aren't they?

I'm OK with males campaigning for an end to violence against women and girls, I'm just not sure a male is the best choice by the UN as an advocate. seems a little white knighty/patronising, no? Why can't women campaign for women on this issue?

Maybe this organisation should rename itself 'UN_NonMenUK.org' ?

Oh well. Maybe, just maybe, MB will actually engage in the real issues of VAWAG and have an epiphany as to what they really are.

The pinned tweets on the page of this Indian feminist lawyer's account is a moving summary of women's oppression based on their biology.

Is this an actual position or just more self publicity?

Hmmmmm. It's a toughie.

Is this an actual position or just more self publicity? Can't find any 'announcement' from U.N. Women UK. It's not like she's actually intending to do anything other than yet another glamour pose on Twitter.
I find it quite desperate.

Supporting a particular initiative. Most certainly not appointed a UN advocate or goodwill ambassador.

Seems official.

Such a hero for women. Except the lesbians, and the white ones. And the ones with vaginas.

Whisper it softly, but this may not be the case:

I doubt that the UN have looked into their background and historical comments made. It seems like virtue signalling of the highest order.
