Census question unfair to fathers

I NOTICED that question 13 on the Census 2011 form “How many children have you given birth to?” is for women only.

I believe this question is an attempt at social engineering and is designed to whitewash fathers out of the lives of their children, contrary to the Equal Status acts 2000-2004 as it discriminates against men on the basis of gender, marital status and family status.

Census.ie states that “The census will give a comprehensive picture of the social and living conditions of our people in 2011. The results are essential tools for effective policy, planning and decision making purposes”.
