Opinion: A declaration of non-independence — for women

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:03:01 GMT

If men could get pregnant, the saying goes, the Declaration of Independence might well have declared that all men are endowed with the right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and a safe abortion. A colleague once suggested to me that such phrasing wouldn’t have been necessary. It would simply have been taken for granted that men had an inalienable right to terminate a pregnancy.The eloquent manifesto lays out in detail how the king of Britain had tyrannized the colonists and why they now had a right to create a new government to “effect their Safety and Happiness.” (Lot of “happiness” in the Declaration of Independence.) Given the declaration’s precision of language, I’d expect abortion would have been singled out in the list of rights — just in case anyone reading it thought “liberty” didn’t cover it.Same with the U.S. Constitution — if men could get pregnant, the white male framers of the Constitution would have written in the right to an abortion. Then we wou...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:03:01 GMT

The global technology landscape has witnessed numerous controversies and debates, and one of the most contentious issues in recent years revolves around the 5G restrictions and bans on Chinese telecom manufacturers in the European Union (EU).While concerns about national security and data privacy are crucial, it is essential to examine the fairness of this ban when compared to the treatment of foreign companies, such as Nokia and Ericsson, in China. This article aims to shed light on the perceived unfairness of policy restrictions on Chinese telecom manufacturers including Huawei and ZTE in the EU and the contrasting treatment of Nokia and Ericsson in China.The policy restrictions on Chinese telecom manufacturers in the EU:The EU's decision to ban or restrict Huawei and ZTE from participating in the development of 5G networks in member states was based on so-called security concerns. Huawei and ZTE's alleged ties to the Chinese government raised apprehensions about potential backdoo...

A cause whose time has come: Recognition of the 1971 Bangladesh Genocide

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:03:01 GMT

The European Parliament has hosted an event entitled ‘The Forgotten Genocide: Bangladesh 1971’ but the mood of the meeting was that the true nature of the atrocities committed by the Pakistan Army and its local collaborators 52 years ago can no longer be ignored. International recognition is the next step, writes Political Editor Nick Powell.In 1971 the deaths of three million people, the rape of more than 200,000 women, the ten million who fled for their lives and took refuge in India, the thirty million who were internally displaced, shocked many people around the world. The attempt by the Pakistan military to destroy the Bengalis as a people during the Bangladesh War of Independence was recognised, at least by some, for what it was. The headline in the London Sunday Times read simply ‘Genocide’.A Pakistani commander was quoted as making the genocidal intention clear, stating that “we are determined to rid ...

Mattel is making efforts to turn another beloved brand into a blockbuster hit. The forthcoming "Barney" film from Mattel Films has been revealed, and it's not going to be for kids. The live-action film will star Oscar winner Daniel Kaluuya. Vietnam bans ‘Barbie’ movie for its map depicting South China Sea An executive from Mattel, which owns Barney, told the New Yorker the "Barney" movie will be surrealistic and adult-focused. It will be an “A24-type” project, executive Kevin McKeon revealed to the outlet.“We’re leaning into the millennial angst of the property rather than fine-tuning this for kids,” he said. “It’s really a play for adults. Not that it’s R-rated, but it’ll focus on some of the trials and tribulations of being thirtysomething, growing up with Barney—just the level of disenchantment within the generation.” Barbie’s Dream House comes to life ahead of Margot Robbie film; how to book your stay Mattel is already working on a Hot Wheels movie with J.J.
