Face-recognizing billboard shows ad to women only.

Here is my message:

"The problem is that you're acting as if women are the only ones whose 'basic choices get taken away'. Maybe if you stopped pretending like girls are the only ones in third world countries that have 'opportunities taken away', you'd realize how stupid and gender-centric this advertisement truly is. Boys in these nations often endure significantly horrific oppression and cruelty that can significantly trump that of girls. The fact that you're focusing on girls-only shows the sexism."

Everybody, PLEASE 'dislike' the video and make an appropriate response to 'planuk'. And then proceed to message them on their channel and let them know what you think.

What's so bizarre about this is that there's not even a single contrivable purpose for this ad to be gendered. If it's a women it shows you a lot of information and video, if you're a man it shows you less information. What!? Why not just show one version of the ad with all the information?

That's disgusting. Especially after watching the most recent GirlWritesWhat video.

Welp, if I can't see that ad, then I don't know what I'm donating to, and so my potential £50 donation must go elsewhere.

I always thought (in the UK at least) that since the curriculum was de-gendered years ago, girls have always outperformed boys

Here is Plan UK's article about discrimination against boys: "What About Boys".

The article isn't about the terrible discrimination that boys face based on their gender, but rather that boys need to be actively engaged to fight discrimination against girls. It says girls face "double discrimination" compared to boys.
