NZ teacher Peter Joyce’s settled life was disrupted when a woman he had never met accused him of historic rape. With a unique brand of angry humour, his diary plots the stages of his despair and traces his attempts to find justice in the face of the current insistence that we must “believe the victim”.
Dry Ice is a compelling memoir, but much more. The accusation made the writer a reluctant expert on similar cases from all over the world. He throws light on everything that limits public knowledge of false sexual allegations, from dangerous counselling to flawed statistics, and he exposes police investigation methods as blinkered, inefficient and insensitive.

I’ve just read the article published on that site presented to the Women’s Legal Service in Victoria by Michael Flood. Only a lawyer could ever believe such utter bullshit. It brought to mind the recent publicity Bob Moodie, a former New Zealand Police Commissioner gave himself. He explained that he liked to wear dresses and dressed like a woman because he identified with that gender and believed that woman are the more fair sex. Bob Moodie has a PhD in law. This is contrary to reliable research that shows that woman committ crimes of dishonestly about four times more often than men. On average female reasoning also tends to be less fair, with men preferring to uphold agreements even when it doesn’t suit them. Research in both the USA and New Zealand shows that males are four times more likely than females to be processed by the police for committing the same crime and that males are also four times more likely than females to be convicted in court for committing the same crime. Lawyers like Bob Moodie probably don’t understand that the average has got nothing to say about the individual, nontheless when describing average behaviour there is a lot of academic dishonestly.

XY says it is
, believes their is a wide range of men’s views( with young boy toys on the cover instead of average blokes and their kids). Not promising, I’ll stick to Menz and HOEP thank you very much. Redefining men smells of social enginnering.

I’ve viewed the site…it is not a site that shows understanding of the real issues facing real fathers. Nor is it supportive of the male struggle…that is to be treated as equals in society, legislation, political representation and in the Family Court.
Intrepid is right…it smacks of social engineering.
