Ne zaman 'adam' oluruz?

I recently started to actively learn the Turkish around me in Istanbul. Last Sunday I ordered a delicious crepe with cherry jam at müessese, a breakfast cafe in Ortakoy with table place mats protesting violence against women:

Ne zaman 'adam' oluruz? Kadına şiddet uygulayan adam(!)ların cezasını 'adam gibi' kestiğimiz zaman!

When are we 'men'? When we cut the penalty of calling men (!) who commit violence against women 'like men'!

When are we 'men'? When we stop calling men (!) who commit violence against women 'men'!
