Single Fathers, Solo Dads and Social Services – Anonymous Survey

Tue 20th October 2015:

Sharon Yella of AUT is currently conducting an online anonymous survey on single-dads’ experiences and perceptions of social services. Last year, Sharon did a study that showed that single-dads weren’t always treated right by organizations such as CYFS, WINZ and even Plunket. From this she realized we needed more voices on the topic about family […]

What’s a male fairy tale? (A philosophical view)

Mon 19th October 2015:

Once upon a time, a Prince asked a beautiful Princess, “Will you marry me ?” The Princess immediately said, “No!” And the Prince lived happily ever after, and rode motorcycles and dated thin, long-legged, full-breasted women, and hunted and fished and raced cars, and went to titty bars and dated ladies half his age and […]

NZ Prison Suicides Experiment 1984 to 1988

Sat 17th October 2015:

Illustration of Hazards From Failing to Monitor a New Social Programme Effectively This analysis presents the prisons situation as an experiment. The managers in prisons might choose to view the situation as resulting from prisoner violence, causing withdrawal of psychologist’s services, due to inability to safely protect the psychologists from violent prisoners. Both viewpoints have […]

Trust in professionals

Thu 15th October 2015:

I have often commented about my views on the professionalism and skills of the peoples working in familycaught$. Although occasionally complimentary, most of my comments suggest that there might be room for improvement. My views are only those of a poor axe murderer, so I have little social credibility for my poor judgements. I have […]

Just found out that at 0900 tomorrow morning I must represent myself in an Urgent Application for the retrial of my Children’s Custody Trial which took place last week.

Morality and Law

Thu 1st October 2015:

1. If a woman is fighting off a rapist, should she be able to use maximum force and take his life to defend herself? i.e. Shoot, knife or bludgeon him. 2. If a man finds his partner has fallen pregnant to him and he decides he no longer wishes to proceed with the birth of […]

‘Lorde’ just another man-hating bitch

For those men like us who have celebrated Lorde’s spectacular rise to fame and fortune, consider her latest music video. It shows her exchanging ‘love at first sight’ glances with a man who is already partnered, then running into his arms to be sexual with him behind the partner’s back, then at the end of […]

Cyber Bullying and Suicide

Sat 19th September 2015:

This article Cyber bullying’s fatal connection reports correctly that more than 500 NZers commit suicide every year, but as usual makes no mention of the fact that about 80% of them a males. At least this article does focus on one male who apparently committed suicide after extensive cyber bullying. It also reports college principal […]

The Emperor is not wearing clothes!!

Fri 18th September 2015:

There, I’ve said it…..ok, ok, ok, I realise I now risk appearing to be an idiot revealing an IQ of less than 100. To be a journalist today one requires big big balls because to declare the obvious is proffesional suicide. I refer to Chris Brown and his dilemma in obtaining a visa to perform […]

A Female’s Honour is Priority for NZ Police

Thu 17th September 2015:

NZ police went to a lot of effort to work with Danish police in order to arrest a Danish man who embarrassed and threatened a 15yo NZ schoolgirl and ‘cyber attacked’ her school.

MRA Perspectives on Recent Events

Sun 13th September 2015:

1. Michael Murray sentenced to life for murder of Connor Morris It’s difficult to imagine anything more provocative than seeing a P-addled gang member bashing the shit out of your brother with the real possibility of death or permanent brain damage. That doesn’t mean it’s ok to have a slasher with you and to swing […]

What’s bad about gay marriage?

Fri 11th September 2015:

Help me here please! There must be something about the above debate I just can’t get. Marriage is a tradition from the earliest societies when humans had developed the cognisance to understand the importance of creating a safe environment for their offspring to develop in. Couples, of opposite sex, were the only ones able to […]

The Ministry of Justice recently published a document called ‘Strengthening […]

Send Women Back to Fight Too, Winston (and f*** off with them)

We don’t actually agree that anyone should be sent back to Syria to fight, mainly because we think that fighting for Syria’s corrupt and inhumane dictatorship would be no better than fighting for ISIS, the Russians or most of the other ‘rebel’ groups there. How could anyone fight for their country’s ‘freedom’ in those circumstances? […]

The False Gods of Feminism

The previous post, The Fiamengo Files while a breath of fresh air, is testament to the destructive influence of any ‘ism’ not just, as is the case here; Feminism. The deterioration in rational thinking, the censorship of opposing views, and the illusion of belief are patently evident.

The Fiamengo Files

Fri 4th September 2015:

I’ve just had my attention drawn to a remarkable series of videos which MENZ readers will find interesting. This woman gets it. Janice Fiamengo is an outspoken critic of academic feminism, censorship and gender bias. She is an ardent supporter of freedom of speech, and now identifies as an anti-feminist. She is an English professor […]

NZ Centre for Political Research

Wed 2nd September 2015:

The NZCPR is Dr Muriel Newman’s organization and web site. She has many good thinkers providing opinion pieces. Dr Newman is we believe the only NZ politician who tried to introduce a bill into parliament for a presumption of shared care by both parents after separation; the Labour government’s feminists voted it down because it […]
