- promoting a clearer understanding of men's experience -
FYI, I came across this Australian organisation and a speech given to it by NZ MP Dianne Yates. Note her claim that because so many powerful positions in NZ were occupied by women the country ran like clockwork. Such partisan arrogance, reminiscent of the “master race” beliefs in Nazi Germany.

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 met Dianne Yates as a fellow student at Waikato University many years ago. We’d both come out of a Women in Psychology lecture (I know, it’s embarasing to admit it but that’s where I was at in those days). In the lecture we’d all seen the lecturer moaning for about 30 minutes about men objectifying women as sex objects in advertising. Sizta Yates was angrily strident in her rebuking men doing so.
Upon leaving the lecture theatre I was aghast to witness what Di-hard was up to next. She was talking animatedly with another female student in the corridor outside the theatre about what a ‘hunk’ Mel Gibson was.
Now I couldn’t give a Spanish Fly whether or not women think men are ‘hunk’ ‘chunks’ or ‘monks’ for that matter. But it struck me that here was the height of hypocracy and in polite terms I challenged her to think of her attitude that way.
She offered no excuses, but some giggly platitude about how Mel sold movies and wandered off to god knows where or what.
I’ve never shaken the image of her as a featherweight twit since.
I notice she’s only ever been elected once, by a slim margin, in an election with a low voter turnout and in an electorate domainated by academic wonks.
It comes as no surprise therefore to see her peddling this deluded nonesense.
NZ running like clockwork.
Yeah right.
Now there’s a contender for the Tui of the year and it’s only just February.

That should be running like a broken clock, only right twice a day.

Bevan,
Would it even be right twice a day?
This poxy fascist government need to take a leaf or two from Adolf and his mates.
I’m waiting for the
HitlerClark Youth to make its first appearance in New Zealand – with appropriate modifications, of course. The young ladies will no longer be required to learn how to sew, cook et al. Rather they will be trained in political indoctrination, brain-washing techniques, best use of propaganda, principles of extremist feminism and how to die for Mrs Clark.The young men, on the other hand, will need to be taught how to work hard and not expect to receive anything in return, how to make their contribution to the Mistress Race (just where did “Ma Hand and Her 5 Daughters” come from?) and how to cope with
being euthanaseddying in your mid to late 20’s – if you first survive the fifteen years of hard labour.Of course, any person old enough to no longer actively contribute to the Mistress Race will be availed of “voluntary euthanasia”: you WILL be volunteered and you WILL be euthanased. In a similar manner, any person who carries a sex-determining chromosome and is unable (bad eyesight, physical incapacity etc) or unwilling (why would you?) to work hard for the betterment of the Mistress Race will be shown the oven – not to learn how to bake cakes.
The NAZI were lucky: those that did not choose to take their own lives were brought to stand trial for “War Crimes”. How is it that our “elected representatives” are absolved of their equally criminal responsibility? Or will Our Children of the future reach the enlightened realisation that these “people” are real criminals and must be punished for their crimes?
Bring on the Dark Ages!
