Melinda Gates pens scorching op-ed about why she's leaving Bill Gates Foundation as she announces...

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] … her own $1bn charity.

Melinda Gates has written a scorching essay explaining her reasons for stepping down from the Bill Gates Foundation to start her own charity.

The philanthropist, 59, announced her departure from the Bill Gates Foundation earlier this month, revealing she would get $12.5 billion as part of the deal with her Microsoft founder ex-husband.

In a New York Times opinion piece, Melinda said that she's leaving the foundation she co-founded in order to focus on her own agenda, which has gender equality as a top priority.

'In nearly 20 years as an advocate for women and girls, I have learned that there will always be people who say it’s not the right time to talk about gender equality,' she wrote.

'Not if you want to be relevant. Not if you want to be effective with world leaders (most of them men). The second the global agenda gets crowded, women and girls fall off.

Tell me what rights men have that women don't in this country?
Do this why explaining why XYs can directly compete against XXs in women's sports.

#7 Exactly what was 'scorching' about this supposed op-ed? Rich lefty ex-wife of a billionaire takes some of that fortune to fund lefty initiatives under the guise / umbrella of 'gender equality'? It's so predictable it's boring.

#8 how'd she contributed to creating the Gates fortune?

I guess by not spilling his dirty little bedroom secrets and putting a good face on about it.

And I very much doubt her new effort will have adults as their main cause.

Yes. The urgency to groom young children suggests there is a limited window before they grow out of stupid ideas about gender and sexual orientation.

#10 how'd she contributed to creating the Gates fortune?

Respectable mother of his children and hostess of his parties, Grom. Jeff Epstein provided his preferred underage fun-time girls.

He was a billionaire when they met. She met him at a trade fair the year Microsoft hired her.

#13 If she knew what he was up to she has absolutely no bidness talking about "women's dignity."
