Reflecting on a somewhat opaque and bizarre interaction with the (so-called) Transparency Project.

The Executive Summary I have prepared for OFCOM to assist them in their investigation into why over 550 Channel 4 viewers complained about gender bias and the misrepresentation of fathers in family courts.

Pointing at two additional critical incidents providing prima face evidence that the Ch4 Family Courts Dispatches transgressed OFCOM's broadcasting rules.

Reflecting on 'The Widow', episode one of Greg Davies' new comedy 'The Cleaner.

Considering why OFCOM has received over 500 complaints about Channel 4's gender bias and misrepresentation of fathers in family court disputes. Part one provides a summary of the offending programme, a breakdown of the reasons it generated so many complaints, and an assessment of post broadcast claims concerning abusive behaviour, trolling and the promulgation of 'harmful extremist beliefs’.

Full credits to follow in part two.

Originally uploaded November 2018 as part of PROBLEMS with MEN series which returns soon.

Neil McEvoy Assembly Member (for South Wales Central) calls on the Welsh Government to "address the lack of non-judgemental
domestic abuse support for men as part of its strategy
on suicide prevention, as a matter of urgency."

The use of all video clips here fall within the legal standard set by the Fair Use Section of the Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. § 107 and UK equivalent. This is not a real advert, this is not a real news story. This is an parody of the hotly debated Gillette: The Best a Man Can Be short film.

Several short video clips have been edited in a way to give an entirely new narrative. This is done as a parody, to poke fun at the original film and is done so for educational purposes, encouraging the viewer to consider the flaws and political bias inherent in the original piece.

Kudos to Satire Daily who's material I incorporated into the piece:

A brief summary of why not every day is International Men's Day for every boy and man.

It is increasingly acknowledged that gendered inequalities can be experienced by men but as a society we also seem to be nurturing an ever increasing problem with men. PROBLEMSwithMEN aims to address that problem.

Each short video will consider a particular problematic perspective about men and will be accompanied by open source show notes so that viewers can dig deeper and ultimately make their own mind up about the best ways to overcome our shared problem with men.
