Here are some sobering statistics on the price of feminism in Canada. Note, this is not an all-encompassing list, but a beginning tally. When someone says to you, "It's all good" and "How does that affect me?", you can show them this list:

That's interesting the SharpenedPen, but have you considered where these policies came from in the first place? Examine the following quotes below:
for greater insight and enhanced sharpening

"Social progress can be measured with precision by the position of the female sex." (Statement by Karl Marx - father of communism)

"The empowerment of women that results from attention to gender in all stages of the development process is the “most effective development tool.”
(Secretary-General Kofi Annan)

Over the past decade certain measurement tools, or indicators, have been created within the United Nations system that attempt to quantitatively measure women’s status: see for example, the Gender-Related Development Index (GDI), the Gender Empowerment Measure (GEM), and The World’s Women: Progress in Statistics series (latest edition published in 2005).

United Nations Development Agency:

Target: Eliminate gender disparities in primary and secondary education preferably by 2005, and at all levels by 2015. (Millenium Development goals - UN)

"Equality between women and men is a worthy goal that is central to progress in human development.

UNDP is committed to making gender equality a reality, not only because it is a moral imperative, but because it is a way to promote prosperity and well-being for all."

UNDP works on pro-women's policy advice, capacity development, and supports projects for gender equality in collaboration with UNIFEM.

And they dare suggest to me, myself and I that the United Nations and communist philosophy are not directly linked to the feminist cause. Pisha!
