MENZ Issues: news and discussion about New Zealand men, fathers, family law, divorce, courts, protests, gender politics, and male health.

David took a “Gargantuan” step in facing a nemesis ( I actually had the “First Blood having “balance of probablity” actually cited so that I may see my little boy.
All of the Unified fathers (and some Mums) took a further step, getting a dousing and a boulder,while Wayne Pruden took lots of steps, which has more than established our gripe and demand for rectitude.
We have as a “Coalition” been aggreived by “may it please the Family Court”, CYFS, and IRD Child Support but we are achieving in the sending our message to these Institutions .
Let us collectively build upon these accomplishments.
Individual Case Officers who shaft you need to be named and will be posted upon Fame or Shame.
Join the Republicans

I will remain committed to all who encounter these injustices as it almost removed me from this mortal coil.

Kindest to all.

The New Feminasty Weapon.

Mr Cullen right under the nose of family and faith Minister Peter Pinocchio Dunne, has created the Office of the Commissioner of Inland Revenue. We no longer have an independent authority tasked with managing the revenue affairs of the country, but another Feminist Machine, and if you hadn’t previously headed the warnings of James Nicole, then you should revisit and understand post haste.

In New Zealand Men are now Slaves of the State.

In amongst all the misery we endure, there are a few humourous points.

Here’s one.

After being beaten emotionally senseless by Yula I kind’ve decided being single was probably a better idea. I mean, poking up one’s butt for the sole purpose of finding out how sharp the next rasp will be is a negative proposal.

So I had accepted a future of soleness. I’m pretty happy with my own company so it wasn’t such a hard choice.

But I hadn’t factored in the world of chance.

A bit of background.

About 30 years ago I wandered into an office. I was lost and looking for directions. A youngish (actually 2 years older than I) woman sat behind her corporate desk. In an instant of a look I knew this woman (Julie) was to be my wife. And she became so.

I had absolutely zero information upon which to make this judgement. I hadn’t even opened my mouth, nor she hers. It was just one of those events in life.

Twenty eight years later we separated but have remained great friends.

Just had a call from a couple in Wellington. Being seriously put upon by the FC and their own lawyer.

I recommended an immediate change of lawyer, and emailed Jim to put this shit on the hit-list for botherings.

Anyway…..

The Ex is doing ‘I believe. I think. Maybe. It could be possible,’ impressions. Standard crap. Given this couple will soon find a new and loyal advocate lawyer who will then wave Asher J’s judgement under the careless nose of the FC judge involved, all will come out well for this couple and the little boy.

You see, ‘I believe. I think. Maybe. It could be possible,’ etc, is no longer and acceptable plaint even in the FC.

Good eh?

Lastly, I shall be most interested to see Jim’s take on Mr Steven Gill, (I’ve given Jim the low-down which I can’t do here…for obvious reasons) FC Lawyer, Wellington, once he has the low-down. But if what the couple told me tonight is even half true, this rooster is due for a sex-change whereupon he can become a card-carrying member of the feminazi movement.

Lastly, lastly. The couple got onto me through JP’s site. This site. Ergo, this site is gaining traction, as are all the things the various of us are doing in our own quiet…and sometimes noisy :–)) way.

Extra cool, huh?

Cheers
David

From the Biological Gender Differences, Absenteeism and the Earning Gap

In most Western countries illness-related absenteeism is higher among female workers than among male workers. Using the personnel dataset of a large Italian bank, we show that the probability of an absence due to illness increases for females, relative to males, approximately 28 days after a previous illness. This difference disappears for workers age 45 or older. We interpret this as evidence that the menstrual cycle raises female absenteeism. Absences with a 28-day cycle explain a significant fraction of the male-female absenteeism gap. To investigate the effect of absenteeism on earnings, we use a simple signaling model in which employers cannot directly observe workers’ productivity, and therefore use observable characteristics – including absenteeism – to set wages.

I have to begin by saying I’m not exactly proud of having to admit to having been a victim of domestic violence; seeing as how I’m a big boy (6-1 in my sox, strong, and with several martial arts to my credit).

Meet Yula (pronounced Yura). 40. A Korean beauty. In NZ with 3 kids looking for a way to stay. I end up being the ‘very’willing dupe.

I discovered, albeit some eighteen months later and several half-hearted considerations of suicide, that this ‘beauty’ was actually what is known as a socialised psychopath; ergo, a Hannibal Lecter with self-preservation instincts denying her the ability to simply squash out the life of any who disobeyed.

Yura set the hook in my lamentably niaive mouth, tugged gently for three long and unbelievable months, then hauled back hard when it wass clear the hook had gone down well past my throat.

For the following fifteen months I was subjected to almost constant emotional violence of a level and type I found so incomprehensible that I was rendered incapable of breaking the spell. This was interspersed with rounds of physical and sexual violence.

Unfortunately I didn’t get to watch the whole of the news tonight, specifically Close Up at 7pm (TV1) where Susan Woods ws going to solve the world’s problems of boys failing at school.

But I did see one snippet about male illiteracy, with young men (oops - boys) failing at school, and the impact it was having on their enrolling on manual jobs - in this case mechanics (I think).

Wht amazed me is that for all the illiterate young men (oops - boys) entering the trades, and for all the various experts that pouted the problems, they only interviewed one apprentice, even though plenty featured in background shots.

And she was a girl.

Why can’t an article lamenting the failure of the education system to cater for boys, an article about boys, not interview a boy? But instead a girl (who as far as I can tell, was heavily outnumbered by male enrollees)?

My friend Dave has just posted a critique on his website of a recent NZ Herald article:
Attitudes change towards old taboo

Before we go any further, let me make it quite clear where I stand on violence: I don”t believe it is OK for men to hit women. I don’t believe it is OK for women to hit men.

Nor do I believe that the common combination of intimidation, verbal harassment, putdown, windup, and so forth that often accompanies, or serves instead of, physical violence is OK, from either sex.

I believe it is sometimes appropriate for parents to use physical means to discipline children, but not to the extent that physical injury occurs.

So when an article like the one below appears in the Herald, ostensibly part of a media campaign to raise awareness about family violence, why does my stomach crawl?

My stomach crawls because the article is a piece of anti-male shit. It is a piece of anti-male shit despite the fact that its author is apparently male, and despite its ostensible focus on “family” violence.

Just a comment posted recently to an old thread …

I’m doing some research for a tv documentary and would like to talk to a couple where the woman in the relationship is earning more than the man. He may or may not be a house husband. Obviously they need to be interested in sharing their opinions/experience in a tv interview. Thanks.

Sounds like the Honourable Mr Cullen could do with some anger management to calm the halls of power. Wonder why he has been throwing little missy fits this week.
Perhaps it’s because David Parker found out that the position of Attorney General was the first WMD (weapon of male destruction) in the feminasty arsenal and promptly handed it back to Mr Cullen. Perhaps Mr Cullen is the real Minister of Revenue and what has been well Dunne until now, might now be well Dunne!, or well Dunne? Perhaps it’s another hat for Mr Cullen to wear again in the game of merry go round minister, that’s if he has finished playing marionette Minister, with the leader of United Future.

Perhaps the realisation has become a reality to the heartland of the labour camp.
The NZ Labour party has been high jacked again, and the real insult to the party faithful this time is that it has been by an ideology that never had truth to offer as first casualty in a conflict constructed of subjective twaddle.

The trade mark officiousness of the Brown Skirts and Jack Boots with the expectation of instant obedience is long overdue for a decent burial. After a winter of discontent perhaps 2006 will deliver a spring of reason, winds of change, and an early election.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have our country back again?
