Latest Air NZ Policy.

Let a women have her way regardless. The flight was already 15 minutes late leaving, dogged by continual relocation of passengers to accommodate lone children. There was frustration in the tone of the flight officer’s voice as he announced a delay due to documentation. At this point one attendant was moving two passengers from one […]

Latest DV response

Thu 27th September 2007:

The police shooting and killing of a man in Christchurch last night appears to be another tragic example of the DVA’s principles in action. The police were called to a domestic indicent and no doubt followed their current guidelines as demanded by feminist groups including Wimmin’s Refuge. They will have treated him immediately as a […]

11 Babies from 11 Different Fathers

An article on Campell Live on Tuesday night deserves comment.

WARNING to all men

Thu 20th September 2007:

I draw readers’ attention to our laws on unlawful sexual connection. Note particularly the section on consent, which seems to allow almost any situation to be defined as unlawful. If you are considering having sex with someone (I will assume for this posting it is a woman), keep in mind the following information.

Gender bias in sentencing

Pumpkin

We don’t yet know all the details about the case of “Pumpkin”, the little Chinese girl whose father abandoned her in Melbourne on his way to the US.

Support for the women regarding child support

Hi All, I had recently written a post for women to get us all together to fight as a team so that we can do our best to change situations regarding child support. I took the post off because I felt that I had used harsh words and felt that maybe I might be taken […]

View from the National Party

Mon 17th September 2007:

Just in case anyone thought National? had not bought into the “only men commit violence’ argument… Blue has also said she wants? Women’s? Affairs expanded and given more power and funding under National, as they try to? gain the Women’s vote that they believe cost them the last election.? ___________ “Anyone who considers that women […]

More Double Standards

Fri 14th September 2007:

An article in the Herald yesterday entitled “Teen, 16, in violent tiff with lover, 42” highlighted the gender double standards and female privilege applied by police, Courts and the media. Police treated the case as one of domestic violence by a male and charged him accordingly. If the young person had been female and the […]

Little daughter is marching.

Herald Link: Jim Hopkins – Big Mother is watching. – Highly Recommended “Enough!!!” shouted Inspector One. “Citizen 3124583, I’m recommending you for immediate re-education as an unsuitable parental entity.

A child is protected under UNCROC to an association with dad. The process of assisted human reproductive technology as protected relative to the care of children under the COC […]

Groupthink – how safe are we from it?

I am concerned that the MENZ website group may be suffering from Groupthink? The following description is extracted from Wikipedia: Groupthink is a type of thought exhibited by group members who try to minimize conflict and reach consensus without critically testing, analyzing, and evaluating ideas. During Groupthink, members of the group avoid promoting viewpoints outside […]

Oh Colin James….

Wed 12th September 2007:

Oh Colin James…..She still walks the furrowed fields of your mind…..oh yeah, come in Kenny Rogers. The senior moments are coming more frequently in the extending mid life crisis of Colin James. His continuing infatuation with a younger Helen Clark is reducing the objectivity of his writing, column by column. If his obsession is Helen, […]

Sex-Obsession and Declining Birth-rates

Tue 11th September 2007:

An interesting essay that draws a connection between our modern day obsession with sex, and declining birth-rates.

Helen “lock in up in cabinet” Clark Mr O’Connor, will not receive any reprieve from his full term of imprisonment […]

The Femugabi Regime.

With the Electoral Finance Bill, being dumped on parliament amid the flailing clutches at power by a desperate feminist regime, we have some solid objection from the electorate. The injustice they say. What hasn’t been realised in the past, by many people, is the reality of what has been happening in the Family Court and […]

Sun 9th September 2007:

It is every man’s duty to pay the least amount of tax, or it was in the days when he was allowed person responsibility toward his family. These days we have child support theft and tax theft. stuff.
