Talk:Parity (charity)

Objectivity
I don't have the time or motivation to get into this right now, but I would like to record the concern that this article does not give a complete picture of the organization's efforts. The fact that each of its objectives aim to correct gender inequalities which are specifically unfair to men suggests that there's a framing problem: the organization describes itself as the article does, as working for equality for men and women in general, but it should be noted that the group works towards that goal by promoting men's interests where they are perceived to be unfairly disregarded, not by choosing issues on both sides (or, perhaps, that it holds the unusual view that all gender injustice in the UK is against males). Their website (e.g., "men's health" page emphasizes this phenomenon of only actively opposing injustice against males.

The above is OR, but the following isn't: FourViolas (talk) 04:38, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
 * The BBC refers to "the group Parity, which campaigns for men's rights".
 * The Guardian describes the group as a "men's rights campaign group".
 * FWIW, the Monitor (Uganda) uses the Guardian's characterization.


 * Actually, I am going to change the characterisation. The BBC and Guardian are simply much stronger than the current sources supporting "equal rights organisation". These sources, for the record, are
 * An anonymous librarian or PR worker, making a brief reference, and showing no evidence of having consulted any source but the organisation itself
 * The Daily Mail, which Jimbo described as a "trashy unreliable paper"; more recently, see consensus, and particularly comments by and, at the reliable sources noticeboard
 * A deadlink from the Kent News, a small local paper
 * The organisation itself, invalid per WP:SELFPUB because, when the BBC and Guardian contradict material, there is reasonable doubt as to its authenticity.
 * So I'm changing
