      Mate I reckon you're interpreting it wrong, they're not demonising men. You seem overly sensitive to me. I don't feel like they're pointing the finger at me as a man at all.

      Seem to me that it's about asking men to take back our protectiveness of old. To have an attitude of intervention when a kid is at risk. To stop the slide towards not-my-problem attitudes that you see so often these days.

      • PainToad on 14/09/2016 - 12:25

        I don't feel like they're pointing the finger at me as a man at all.

        I quote, "YGAP’s polished man challenges men to end violence against children." They are the one point the finger at men.

        To have an attitude of intervention when a kid is at risk.

        Why is this a male problem/responsibility? Surely this is a problem for parents, police, law makers and the community as a whole (men AND women).

        To stop the slide towards not-my-problem attitudes that you see so often these days.

        Instead, sliding to "not my female gender's problem" that we see far to often.

          Trying to grab the attention of a specific half of the population is not an unreasonable tactic to get started on solving a social problem.

          I quote, "YGAP’s polished man challenges men to end violence against children." They are the one point the finger at men.

          Again, my interpretation differs from yours.
          I hear, "Men, stand up to not-my-problem attitudes."
          You hear, "Men, STOP DOING THAT!"

        • PainToad on 15/09/2016 - 12:01

          @dtc:

          No, because you argument of comparing something as trivial as telling people to go for a run, to telling males to take responsibility for the abuse of children, is ridiculous and not worthy of a response.

          But…if you want to go down this path, how about the recent government campaign encouraging young WOMEN to get active and become fit. Why were they targeting women specifically? Is men's health not worthy of government funding? Despite the fact males are more likely to be overweight.

          Further pandering to modern so called feminists.

          @PainToad:

          Down near the bottom of that article it has this:

          The NHMRC says the main primary reason for the difference in funding between women's and men's health relates to the types of applications it receives.

          There were twice as many applications to the NHMRC for breast cancer as for prostate cancer and five times more for ovarian cancer than testicular cancer in the decade 2003-2013, an NHMRC spokesman said.

          It seems hardly a problem of "privilege" to me at all.

          Women can participate bro.

          Also, women don't have as much power as me. FACT!

          It's pointing the finger at your gender to be awesome. Embrace the awesomeness bro. Change the world bro. Be a god damn leader of men like me bro. Or feel like a singled out child molester if that's what you are. Up to you bro.

          It's not demonising men. In face men leading this conversation and leading this societal change is what will mean men AREN'T demonised. The facts are 90% of child abuse cases are caused by men. That's a very small proportion of men and a very large proportion of the cases. So if women lead this conversation then men ARE more likely to be demonised. If men lead it, awesome hardcore alpha men like myself, then men aren't demonised. Only sad loser child abusers are demonised.

          So again…why you feeling demonised bro?

          They are the one point the finger at men.

          "Top Question #5: Why men?

          90% of all sexual violence against children is perpetrated by men, but the Polished Man movement is not about pointing the nger. It’s about empowerment. It’s about asking men to unite and lead by example, channeling the collective strength of masculinity to protect society’s most vulnerable citizens and our future leaders."

          Instead, sliding to "not my female gender's problem" that we see far to often.

          "Top Question #8: But women perpetrate violence too.

          Polished Man does not suggest men are the only perpetrators of violence against children but we do know that 90% of all sexual violence against children is perpetrated by men and encourage men to stand up as leaders in society and say no to violence against children.

          Polished Man encourages women around the world to rally behind the Polished Men in their life and celebrate positive masculinity by telling the world they prefer a Polished Man. Take a photo with your Polished Man to upload on social media and say “I prefer a #polishedman” or paint a feature nail for the month of October and fundraise as well."

        What is your argument? That they are trying to get child molesters to paint their nails and start a conversation? Seems unlikely.

        Seems more likely they believe two things:

        1, Men are more likely able to vanguard societal reform on this topic and that men leading the discussion on how to prevent and identify child abuse is less likely to demonise men than women leading the discussion; and
        2, Men wearing one polished nail seems weirder than women wearing one polished nail and thus more likely to spark the conversation (though women can participate also).

    no. the burgers are funded by Grilld - i.e. if you want free burgers Grilld loses money.

    if you want to support the cause - donate. Claiming free burgers without donating doesn't hurt the charity.

    • patinadiary on 14/09/2016 - 12:38

      I dont reckon they are exclusive events, there is a reason why Polished Man chose to team up with Grill'd.

    • Lukian on 14/09/2016 - 12:41

      Grill'd gains money if the cost 'price' of the burger (inc staff wages) is lower than the tax offset for supporting charity.

    • hetzjagd on 14/09/2016 - 13:23
      +1

      What if Grill'd and Polished Man are able to somehow audit this and determine a significant chunk of people signed up and just claimed free burgers? Grill'd may decide it isn't in their interests to sponsor this or other charities in the future.

      That said, it isn't clear to me whether Polished Man is expecting sign ups to do all three of

      Paint one fingernail for the month of October

Start a conversation about violence on behalf of those one in five children

Fundraise, so together we can provide trauma relief and trauma prevention services to our world’s most vulnerable citizens

      or if they are happy just to get the sign ups and anything else beyond that is extra support.

      Would it be morally ok for me to sign up, claim 7 burgers and donate $50? I would be at peace with it if I can get an idea from others (who aren't strictly looking for a free lunch and/or to stick it to Grill'd for some reason) as to whether they think it is ok? Yes I can think for myself but I'm looking for some advice here please

      • Lukian on 14/09/2016 - 14:26

        Yes. You could also sign up and not donate $50. Grill'd will likely check if you have a fingernail painted (before giving you a free burger), so the charity is expecting the conversation to start organically with those you interact with.

        It was interesting that the previous Movember (+Grill'd) offer(s) forced a minimum donation.

        Unless you're a real douche and paint your fingernail only while in the grill'd queue and carry acetone.

    spent 1,902,457 out of there 3,321,107 on administration and employee salaries last financial year.
    that's 57%.
    From what I'm seeing only 206,964 was spent on projects.

          I think it's probably best to look at their expenses as a percentage of revenue. This kind of shows on average where a dollar of your donation goes. So from $1
          11c goes to administration
          1c goes to depreciation of assets
          26c goes to the cost of sales (not totally on top of what that would be, not knowing their operations)
          46c goes to Employee expenses
          2c to fundraising costs
          6c to funding projects
          7c goes to profit (which should be reinvested).

          So over half of their revenue going to salaries and admin costs…

          @NigelTufnel: just read through the report, it seems the social kitchen thing is a big revenue maker (and probably where most of the expense is) without being able to partition out the expenses into charity vs kitchen its hard to see what is actually going on.

          What i dont see is the money they are raising being used for anything… I dont want to speculate, but i am uncomfortable with this 'not for profit' company, running fundraisers for charity, then holding the funds

          @NigelTufnel:

          Cost of sales is fancy way of saying they threw a fundraising event where they had tonnes of marketing, food, booze, gifts for raffles maybe, and other party event costs.

          Think of Shane warne foundation, throw a massive party costing loads, and charging people to pay for seats. Obviously the staff gets to enjoy the party as part of their job.

          If done with fundraising in mind, it can be an effect way to raise money. If not done well, it ends up being a party for employees paid for by people who paid for seats.

          Given the high %, I'd say they are having a blast on the generosity of donations.

      Is it naive of me to ask if the fundraising of Polished Man goes back to Y-GAP before it is spent on Polished Man's claimed target support recipients? Perhaps Y-GAP have their own source of funding that they use to cover the organisational costs of Polished Man?

      I have had a brief comb through the 2015 financial report but it is kind of wordy for me at the moment. Someone more familiar with these things might have a more accurate read and interpretation of it than me.

      If you were choosing a stock to invest in, would you look for its outcomes (i.e. profit/growth etc.) or its inputs? How many people know of the proportion of BHP or Telstra's revenue they spend on their employees?

      We should be focusing on the outcomes that this charity achieves, not worry about their internal cost structure to get there.

      • shanakatak on 15/09/2016 - 13:13
        +1

        People invest in stocks to get return on their money, people donate to charity to help others. If a charity spends a lot of money on things that are not its goal then that is taking away money from where it is needed.

        If you were paying to help build a hospital would you care how much went into building the hospital vs how much the workers used to buy beer as long as it got built at the end of the day?

    With free burgers every day, Grill'd helping Polished Man, but working against Obesity Australia?
    IMO, they should have restricted the free burgers to one per week/month.

    • Nost-dc on 14/09/2016 - 15:42

      you can always get the burger without the bun (aka. as a salad)

      • samfisher5986 on 14/09/2016 - 17:44

        They have low carb buns.

          Carbs don't equal weight gain

        • samfisher5986 on 15/09/2016 - 12:29

          @Mysterious:

          They especially do in this circumstance.

          You aren't going to gain weight by eating a beef patty with vegetables.

          You'll find low carb is one of the most effective ways of losing weight as well.

          @samfisher5986:

          Beef and white bread buns have similar calories.

          A very large majority of my diet is carbohydrates and I am thin.

          Carbs do not make people fat. Calories do.

          Promoting low carb diets is irresponsible because it deprives people from the best source for energy.

          @Mysterious:

          You miss the point, you can say the same thing about Hungry Jacks and not gaining weight, I can actually eat Hungry Jacks burgers and lose weight, but thats not the point.

          My point is that if you were worried about gaining weight from eating Grilld burgers, which can be a valid concern, a low carb bun will make it unlikely.

          If you weren't worried about gaining weight, then eat whatever you choose…

    why do i get the feeling the ozbargain team will win an award for "Highest member:contribution ratio"

    Just signed up, joined the Ozbargain team, and donated for a t-shirt. Great cause!

  • yupyup on 14/09/2016 - 19:20

    Cheers, finally a chance to voice my objection to another male bashing dv campaign. I'll take the burgers and won't raise a cent, either the charity will lose or grilld will for supporting this rubbish.

    How dare they make child abuse a gender issue?

    What we really need is a campaign to stop women throwing their babies in dumpsters. Women are responsible for the vast vast majority of newborn murders, so much so they even have their own special defence to murder of their children, it's called infanticide and carries a vastly reduced penalty to murder.

    Downvote away

      If you fundamentally disagree, wouldn't the most ethical thing be to not participate at all?

      You're happy to be involved enough in order to scoff down the free burgers - are you actually that strongly opposed to the message, or is it just mental gymnastics to convince yourself that it's okay to exploit freebies designated for a fundraiser?

      and then

      What we really need is a campaign to stop women…

      You're doing the same thing, making it a gender issue. If what they did is a problem, what you did is no better.

        You were expecting a well considered logical argument ;-) 😯

        Unfortunately Whybotherth won't likely understand other views at the moment.

        Whybotherth just joined OzBargain, voiced a strongly held opinion - contributing 1 comment to the community, now has probably left as has not logged in since.

        That's all Whybotherth seemed to want - to be heard / read (& expect to be negged).

        Sounds like a lot of pain there - just after ruOK day, so no criticism from me.

        Whybotherth - ruOK? Hope so.

    Folks don't forget any donation over $2 is tax deductible.

      I am hoping this is the case, but can you show me where it says so on their website? I can't find it anywhere..

      Ok, so after doing my own investigating, not finding anything on their website, and having had a few people ask me if it was tax deductible when I asked if they would donate, I decided to ask the question directly. I got a response this morning:

      While YGAP is an Australian Registered Charity, donations to YGAP and the Polished Man campaign are not tax deductible at this time.
      There's a little more about YGAP on the ACNC Government Website if this helps: https://www.acnc.gov.au/RN52B75Q?ID=2294639E-1846-4D29-A370-…
