I think those are totally valid objections -- the microeconomic research remains equivocal on gender pay gap differences and, while I firmly believe that American politics and policies regarding women's rights are marching boldly backwards, I also think this is more than a bit of grandstanding (I admire many UN professionals, but there are plenty of excitable activists amongst their peers, though both professionals and rabble-rousers are outweighed by the clock punchers. Bureaucracy, don't you ever change). Also, the UN org chart looks like a bowl of spaghetti, so remembering who is what and when is an absolute pain.
