Temporary accommodation for violent men

Philip Chapman is the director of the Male Room in Nelson, which provides temporary, single-night accomodation for men who have been removed from their homes under five-day police safety orders. Sergeant John Maxwell is the Family Violence Intervention co-ordinator for the Nelson Police. Interviewed today on Nine To Noon, Tuesday 8 October 2013

NZ men far more likely to die of preventable causes than women.

The latest mortality data highlights the difference in mortality rates between the sexes, with 461.9 deaths per 100,000 males compare to 330.2 deaths per 100,000 females. Men are up to twice as likely to die from preventable illnesses like heart disease and diabetes. Men are three times as likely to die in a car crash […]

The Feminist-Male medal

Mon 7th October 2013:

Look-out, look-out, another Feminist-Male looking for a medal. As far as I can see no-one has invented a Feminist-Male medal yet. I think they should be viewed as the pirates of society. I nominate the first candidate as Peter Dunne. If you have a candidate for the Feminist-Male medal nominate them in a comment below.

The voice of feminism strikes again

Is this where we are headed?

First Story The victim was female, the two offenders were female and the Judge was female – but the show is far from ladylike.

Under-reporting of female crime

This case has same flavour as the recent $100,000 Women’s Refuge theft case. I asked the question then how often these situations had been processed through the Axminster system (swept under the carpet) rather than the court system.

The Slogans of the White Ribbon Campaign

Sun 6th October 2013:

White Fibbin’ supporters often defend their campaign by asserting they have a right to focus on the particular issue of protecting women from male violence, and if other people wish to focus on other forms of violence they are welcome to do so. Another justification offered is that it is a campaign started by men […]

Another reason to avoid women

We don’t see many Family Court cases reported on – every male needs to read this one. There are some hard lessons for the boys here within the realm of no fault divorce. http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/money/9249179/Woman-wins-70-of-assets-in-divorce If anyone finds a link to the actual judgement can you please add the link in a comment.

Black Ribbon Ties Up Tauranga

Sat 5th October 2013:

The Ministry of Menz Affairs Black Ribbon Campaign today in Red Square, Tauranga received a surprising amount of positive encouragement and support from Saturday shoppers and cruising teenagers. Busking added to the event stimulating interest and goodwill and included nursery rhymes for families who stopped on their way past. A number of people spoken to […]

Some history on feminism

One thing that surprises me is what people imagine about history simply because of one piece of information. ‘New Zealand gave women the vote.’ (One that regularly amuses me.)

The realisation of female violence

The frequency and brutality of female offending is definitely on the rise. Men are increasingly in a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation. What is the next generation going to look like with an increasing number of children suffering the consequences of universal suffrage.

The Fox Wants to Look After the Chickens

Fri 4th October 2013:

We must remember that only men commit violence and only women experience it, at least to any extent worth acknowledging or worrying about. That’s why our government through several of its departments funds the anti-male hate-speech White Fibbin’ Campaign. On Tuesday we heard feminst Radio NZ (paid for by taxes from both men and women) […]

Only Men Commit Violence of Course

C’mon everybody, show you’re against violence by men against women. Women of course never commit violence and news media should be ashamed of themselves for inventing stories such as the following recent ones:

October Protests

Thu 3rd October 2013:

Representatives of the Ministry of Men’s Affairs (a community group because successive governments have failed to respect the voice and welfare of men) will be present at protests each Saturday in October to coincide with the male-denigrating White Ribbon Campaign. The protests will will encourage people to wear a black ribbon instead to show they […]

“New” Expert Advisory Group on Family Violence Announced

Tue 1st October 2013:

From the office of Hon Turiana Turia, Associate Minister for Social Development. I think though I’m not certain that several of those appointed were instrumental in trying to wreck the Glenn project, perhaps dredging up the unsupported historical allegation against Owen Glenn. I don’t think this ‘new expert advisory group’ includes any expertise on violence […]
