Men on Strike – book review

Tue 17th September 2013:

Men on Strike – Why Men are Boycotting Marriage, Fatherhood and the American Dream, and Why it Matters. By Helen Smith PhD. Although this new book about men is written by a woman, she clearly likes men, and listens to what men say, both socially and professionally in her practice as a psychologist. She also […]

Male offender: Bristol Clauses. Female Offender: Pussy Pass.

Mon 16th September 2013:

Step right up ladies and gentlemen to see yet another unbelievable act of mental gymnastics, flexible ideology and creative justice. When a man did it we got the Bristol Clauses with feminist claims that all men are potential child murderers no matter how they might appear, and we saw tens of thousands of men treated […]

Suicidal subspecies

Sun 15th September 2013:

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/9166782/Disturbing-trend-in-boomer-suicides The following comments are based on the above article by Sarah Harvey. The post-World War II population bubble is just that, a post-war population-bubble. For some reason people born into that era seem to be viewed as a genetic deviation to the human race, their existence conveniently answering awkward questions for lazy researchers. Baby […]

United Nations demands money

Sat 14th September 2013:

The following article gives insight into the philosophical position of the particular division of the United Nations responsible for women. I can easily see there being real resistance, (not a backlash against equality) to offering money to people who think like this especially when you get down to this piece. “Women need equal access to […]

Women’s economic empowerment

http://www.catapult.org/project/online-employment-training-women-workers UN Women’s Knowledge Gateway for Women’s Economic Empowerment will launch in September 2013. It is an online platform for women’s economic empowerment. The article goes on to quote the United Nations; Women bear a disproportionate burden of the world’s poverty. They are often paid less than men for their work and employed in insecure, […]

White Ribbon People Should be Speaking Up Against These Children

Fri 13th September 2013:

White Fibber Campaign conscripts pledge never to commit, support or fail to speak up against violence towards women. So why aren’t we hearing them challenge the children and other critics of this woman who are subjecting her to the most serious verbal abuse? Scathing obit about abusive US mother goes viral 6:44 PM Friday Sep […]

The Consequence of Father Removal

“Of course she loved the child”, and that’s why she tried to deprive her daughter of the father’s love and protection. And now “I’ve lost everything”. Poor thing.

Government Announces The New familycaught$

Thu 12th September 2013:

There is intense background (hidden from the public) lobbying in progress, illegal under NZ constitutional conventions, aimed at protecting the present Government funding of the NZ legal workers and the unmanagement of conflicts of interest. Those Who Don’t Learn from History Are Doomed to Repeat It – George Santayana FAMILY COURTS – AN INTERVIEW WITH […]

Flexible working roles for men

Wed 11th September 2013:

Yes, here we have it guys, it’s definitely in the bottom line of this article. “Leadership talent is in short supply in New Zealand and globally. Yet at every successive management level significant proportions of talented women drop out or their career stalls. This is the leaking talent pipeline,” it says. Who are the authors […]

Legal worker’s frauds

Tue 10th September 2013:

In trying to work out what Mr. Evgeny Orlov’s incompetence trial was actually about (as it seemed to be a distraction tactic), brought me round to what would be the top priority for the law society to avoid public discussion? The top two issues, to my guess, would be: 2. failure to serve the customer […]

Cold comfort for the working man.

Mon 9th September 2013:

United Future’s flexible government-superannuation proposal is typical of Dunne’s on-going lack of respect for New Zealand men. National has been in no hurry to confront what others are calling an essential issue with John Key telling us that the retirement age won’t be raised from 65 while he is prime minister. That may suggest that […]

Get your fat off.

Thu 5th September 2013:

It has recently been declared that New Zealand women’s biggest health issue is obesity, which now comes in ahead of well canvassed issues such as breast cancer and the affects of cigarette smoking. The difficulty, that men in particular face, is that the subject is often seen as a taboo area of discussion between any […]

Rough Justice

I post this clip BBC NEWS to illustrate the danger that men encounter when bad things happen to their female partners. Two good men have lost a good proportion of their lives due to a Police witch hunt after Barrie White’s girl friend, Rachel Manning, 19, was murdered. Kieth Hyatts interview is very sad indeed. […]

Crown drops indecency case

Mon 2nd September 2013:

The curious case of tonsil touching has come to an end. Crown drops indecency case against former teacher It seems for this man a lot of things came to an end while he was waiting for the Police to drop the case.

If you are currently representing yourself in the Family, District or High Court, or have a case that finished in the last year, you may be eligible to participate in a research project on the self-representation in the New Zealand civil courts.

Protecting legal worker’s marketing image from the truth

Sun 1st September 2013:

Judge Jock: Time to Pull Finger, Grave Charges Against Lawyer, Star Chamber Convened Jock Anderson | WEEKEND REVIEW Fancy being a Judge? Get Involved and Do Your Bit Folk are wanted to serve on a host of New Zealand Law Society specialist committees – someone reckoned there’s about 154 of them at last count.

We’ve come for your children, we must take all four!

That terrible night, the four children slept “Social Service” were coming, their mother just wept! Two burly strangers soon broke down the door, We’ve come for your children, we must take all four! The “Social worker” told you “keep perfectly calm” Your kids are at risk of suffering harm! So struggling and kicking and screaming […]

Men’s Concerns are Gaining Traction

There is increasing evidence that men speaking up are gaining a little traction. The Labour Party leadership’s rapid retreat from the ‘man-ban’, sexist exclusion of men from electorates (that can only be described as a misandrist corruption of democracy) was one example. We believe that 2, or 5 or 10 years ago no male Labour […]

UK dads

Sat 31st August 2013:

Below link is an interesting look at last nights UK ITV’s ‘fatherless children’ program.The attitude toward fathers of society in general is expressed succinctly in the first few minutes by Zirene, a mother of Manchester, where in total ignorance and narcissism states that her absent children’s father is missing out, not the kids because “they […]

GPS monitoring of protection-order respondents

Fri 30th August 2013:

FYI, our letter to Hon Anne Tolley regarding her Radio NZ interview on 16 May 2013, that can be heard here. It’s incredible how complacent kiwis are about government removal of civil rights and fair treatment. We believe western governments including New Zealand are preparing for major repression of their populations and are awarding themselves […]

Thu 29th August 2013:

Is it just me or does this not speak volumes… Girl is taken away from her dad, into a foreign country, by her mum with another man in her house. He tries feebly, but fails to be a protective step-dad.. girl asks to see her dad, before too long, she is dead. There are many […]

Radio NZ piece on Infanticide

FYI, our email to the ‘Nine to Noon’ programme on National Radio, Radio NZ concerning its piece on Infanticide this morning (you can hear it here): Dear Nine to Noon Infanticide is one of our laws that remains blatantly sexist, that treats offending by a woman as somehow more acceptable than the same offending by […]

Greg Andresen of Men’s Health Australia has set up a March for Father’s Day, 1st September Sunday, at Hyde Park Corner, Sydney. The Theme is A Voice for Children and is against all of the commercial forms of Parental Alienation. These issues are even more of a problem in New Zealand than in Australia, where […]

Visit with Erin Pizzey

Fri 16th August 2013:

Yesterday my wife Felicity and I visited one of our long time heroines Erin Pizzey at her home in Twickenham. Erin is famous for founding the world’s first Women’s Refuge back in 1971. The movement she started was subsequently hijacked by militant radical feminists with a Marxist agenda. She was subject to villification and even […]
