Despite claiming they are improving IRD still stuffs it up. A New Plymouth couple emerging from an expensive 18-month battle with the tax man over child support payments are wondering how many others are in the same boat. To get to the start of Shaun and Megan Dymond’s costly story you have to go back […]

I have enjoyed watching MENZ recently become more positively oriented and a big drop in destructive criticism. I value this greatly, as the destructive fights that have occurred deter many knowledgeable people from taking part in debates and offering their experience. Purely destructive fights also tend to devalue the material on this site, to casual […]

This woman turned a man’s life upside down with her false rape complaint. A truely hideoous crime in our society.

Then there […]

Single fathers are discriminated against in many ways. However from my own expereince fathers raising daughters get it worse. Often this is subtle but it is felt by single fathers.
