The stunts such as the Batman one a few weeks ago means that people can't ignore their campaign, and by getting themselves media attention will be probably attracting more fathers to join,who feel similarly about their rights. This I guess is strengthening their campaign, and making it that little bit more likely for them to actually get laws changed.
Hi, I mean successful as in the amount of articles relating to this topic has increased 700% in the last four years. This is a worldwide issue, with F4J opening campaign 'centres' in Canada, Australia. It is such a great issue, why is nobody listening ?... thats my point.
As for 'banging on about it', do you have a kid that you cant see...?
why is their campaign perceived as successful.
It is short and zippy - men go around dressed stupidly and are telegenic - it makes a good viddie-bite
It is focussed
it is easily summed up - Men should see their kids and the contrary statement Men should not see their kids is not intuitive and immediately raises the q why not?
They dont break the law (ha!) - but not in a sense of oh golly that's dangerous!
the perceived ill is easily solved - a minister changes a regulation on access to kids.
Their campaign has not been whiney
They have had a clear spokeman and a clear message
erm I have run out of reasons
