Trocaire's Lent TV ad for Gender Equality

Sad truth to say. Nobody talks about boys' problems and hardships like they're so perfectly ok.

This is not to say that males don't suffer they do, however they have more (to all) access to education, better health care. they can walk down the street with out being worried about getting raped, and men have all the rights in divorce and financed. Men do suffer but, we are talking about access and power which sadly men are the ones who have it. Women are undervalued and are treated as merchandise that's the issue = Accesses to power and privilege!

Thats the last penny trocaire gets off me.

Also the NGO is Trocaire which is a Catholic run third world charity so theres some proof that the Catholic Church of today isn,t negative towards women

Thanks, I heard this on radio in Ireland. An it was like WHAT they really say it. Unfortunate my brother and friend were not listening to the radio that moment. Goes to my playlist.

It was on television too and was meant to be on television for the 40 days of lent but was banned by RTE and/or the broadcasting authority(someone from Ireland can correct as to precisely who banned it) halfway through lent as it was deemed too political.But by then it had been seen by everyone anyway.

Well done Trocaire for highlighting this problem and by doing so they are not saying that bad things are not happening to boys- but by this being banned they will not be able to highlight them - nothing short of political censorship

Your first sentence makes no sense. Gender (in)equality affects and is due to the actions of both sexes - equality doesn't work by isolating a group, its about how different groups interact.
Your middle sentence ... confuses me.

And this is not about "women good, men bad" at all - your simplifying the issue and missing the whole point.

This ad specifically did not demonize men but it is tagged to refer to the women's day and that is a time when feminist groups come out making questionable statements about the state of women. Charities,governments,politica l parties and human rights organizations also do often have a one dimensional view of gender equality where only women are discriminated against, therefore it is not a stretch to expect bias. The Trocaire site is all about women's hardship and arguably makes stuff up.

I have not denied that gender inequality affects both groups, more like the opposite.
My complaint was that the ad and the campaign isolates a group as oppressed, using lies or/and selective citing of facts, and another as privileged without real evidence.

I have not denied that both sexes contribute to gender equality or inequality.
