Australia’s peak health body for men distances itself from conservative group’s International Men’s Day campaign

Dads4Kids is using International Men’s Day to push anti-feminist, anti-LGBTQI+ views. I think International Men’s Day has potential as a good cause, though all too often it is overshadowed by people hijacking it to push their own awful ideology. I'm so tired of hearing sexist men sooking about International Women’s Day and unironically asking "Why is there no International Men’s Day?"
Dads4Kids, also known as Fatherhood Foundation, is a hate-group led by Christian fundie, Warwick Marsh. He's acting as though he's the global leader/organiser/owner of International Men’s Day. He's appropriating the movement to spread hate against LGBTQIA+ people, women, and the concept of feminism. He's on record for making transphobic comments such as "homosexuality is a mental disorder" and "many have left the homosexual lifestyle," which I think amounts to promoting the harmful practice of "gay conversion." I think Warwick Marsh exudes Divorced Dad Energy, and he appears to hate anyone who he feels is a threat to his sense of entitlement and toxic masculinity.
