If a father beats his child, a poster will not stop him.

... whilst women ‘can also be the cause of domestic violence, the majority of incidents are committed by men’.

1, The poster said dads. D-bag flings single moms take home, are not dads.

In a population of 100,000, say, 10 people are "X". 9 of them men. Most "X" are men. So? Although men can also be hookers, most hookers are women? That's suppose to mean something?

I see an poster making related action opportunity here.

Not cool. Addressing a poster like that to "dads" presumes that most if not all dads are abusive to their children (when in reality it is a minority). The other two posters shown on that site are just fine. Odd that they can get one so wrong, and 2 so right.

Institutionalize sexism hurting men.

I can see that the poster appeals to be a "True" father (thus a way into shaming an abusive one into introspection), hence using the pet name for a loving father: "Dad". The poster would have been fair if they replace the word with "Good parents" or "True parents". The background graphic might still work on a stretch.
