When the man in the following article murdered his wife, I as a vaccinated Family Court bonded client, thought there must be a protection order behind this case.

Gifted girls conceal their talents

I would question this, given the tendency to “put down” males.

Sat 23rd May 2009:

Do you remember these feminist quotes? “All men are rapists and that’s all they are.” Author; (later, advisor to Al Gore’s Presidential Campaign.) – Marilyn French “I claim that rape exists any time sexual intercourse occurs when it has not been initiated by the woman, out of her own genuine affection and desire.” Ms. Magazine […]

Removing Children From Marital Home

Wed 20th May 2009:

Removing Children From Marital Home (Shared Parenting) When you consider this issue, starting from children’s needs, I believe that most married couples who might separate, are in the situation that their mental health and parenting skills aren’t so good that both could make a valid claim for sole custody. Therefore, they would have to either […]

Confronting Our Most Urgent Social Problem

Tue 12th May 2009:

The United States is becoming an increasingly fatherless society. A generation ago, an American child could reasonably expect to grow up with his or her father. Today, an American child can reasonably expect not to. Fatherlessness is now approaching a rough parity with fatherhood as a defining feature of American childhood.

In The NZ News, Week 19, 2009

Wed 6th May 2009:

Two 15-year-old schoolboys commit suicide within a week of each other, and police are investigating whether text or internet bullying contributed to their deaths. Why don’t they investigate the more likely stressors leading young men to commit suicide at epidemic rates that are much higher than those for women? I would suggest they start with: […]
