Inside the mind of a victim

Mon 6th July 2015:

Yo feminists, remember when you preached about Rihanna being a typical victim of male violence when she and Chris Brown had an intimate partner altercation? Remember how you slagged off Chris as a tyrant? We’ll take a look at the mind of that victim in this video created and directed by Rihanna. “Bitch-better-have-my-money” Reveals the […]

The Silverspoon Sisterhood

Sun 5th July 2015:

There is a lot that could be said about the recent deaths of a mother and three children in Ashburton. You could hardly be blamed for thinking ‘oh no, not another Ed Livingstone‘ when this story initially went to air. There is something a little more sinister afoot (a foot in mouth that is) around […]

More research showing the importance of fathers

Sat 4th July 2015:

This article was interesting: Moms, Let Dad Be Dad It raises questions about the adequacy of all those parenting assessments done mainly by female psychologists in Family Court with misguided assumptions about what constitutes good parenting and bonding. (It goes without saying that most of those assessments found the mothers to be superior and were […]

The most bizarre men’s rights campaigns

Fri 3rd July 2015:

I do not see anything bizarre about any of these campaigns Bizarre men’s rights

Forced to relocate overseas

Source: Judge brings malicious case (male assault female case) to an early close.

Oh Dear, and we were told violence is a male problem!

Woman in custody over Wellington stabbing spree Hark, did I hear some hint of concern from Women’s Refuge, Shine, White Ribbon and the many other male-blaming feminist groups about this family violence? No, I must have been mistaken, that was just the sound of them sipping tea as they discuss their next campaign to convince […]

New Deputy Leader for New Zealand First

Source: Ron Mark having recently re-entered politics has secured the deputy leadership of New Zealand First in a ‘not-so-secret’ coup, that predicted the outcome before the event. The eventual leadership of New Zealand First under Mark has been discussed on Menz before as has the possibilities that might eventuate from his stewardship rather than the […]

Courts are busy and serious places, and judges are busy people

Wed 1st July 2015:

Courts are busy and serious places, and judges are busy people Man rebuked for claiming to be ‘fictional entity’ in court 2:11 PM Wednesday Jul 1, 2015 A man who fell off a moped and said his identity was a fiction created by the State has been rebuked for trying to be “funny” in an […]

Child support

Sat 27th June 2015:

My experience with child support as a paying parent has been an utter nightmare. For one, my daughters are constantly being told by their mother that I do not pay enough. The Ird letters and assessments are shown to my kids, so they are fully involved in the financial battles. This has created conflict between […]

Another Diplomatic Offending Situation, where is the feminist outrage?

Apparently, the wife of the Indian High Commissioner has assaulted a male staff member. There are significant parallels here with the recent case of the Malaysian diplomat accused of some kind of assault. However, there will be one major difference: we won’t hear a whisper from the feminists in objection to how it was managed.

IRD Payments

Wed 24th June 2015:

I have just been notified by my sons school who I have had know contact with since Jan, that he has decided to leave and has a job. He is in process of completing sign out papers (not sure how long that takes, if anyone can enlighten me). He is taking on a full time […]

Colin Craig – Prosecution by Media

Tue 23rd June 2015:

Putting all politics to one side, Colin Craig is man who is being prosecuted by media. The allegations are growing by the hour and all he can do is to publicly address them as false. To me it seems the media has no consideration for the long term affect for a man who is openly […]

IRD again

Wed 17th June 2015:

What I dont get is if you add my income and my ex income together and divide by 50%…the inland revenue seem to think it takes near on $600 a week to raise two teens…so I have to pay her $300 a week, when she earns almost as much as me. The way I see […]

IRD

Tue 16th June 2015:

Once again I have been bitten by the IRD, we had a review which was turned down. I do not have a problem paying IRD but I do when the amount is absolutely ridiculous. The ex wife who I have been divorced from for 12 yrs continues to plead poverty even though she has well […]

The Unforgivable Sin Deserving Death

Mon 15th June 2015:

ISIS, or International SISters as they like to be known, have dealt a lethal blow for their cause by destroying an 72 yr old man, Sir Tim Hunt, a Noble-winning scientist, who was silly enough to speak his mind upon giving a speech at a conference in Seoul. Without malice he mentioned his experiences in […]

Stay at home dads are Dangerous!

Thu 4th June 2015:

This story of exposing the price of the marriage break up of Janet and Paul will resonant with many fathers but for a different reason and their side of the story will have little interest in the main stream media it seems. A ‘stay at home dad’ is demonised once again. Journalism here of the […]

It’s so easy to get political change? DV

Wed 3rd June 2015:

Greg Andresen, of Men’s Health Australia, is a persistent and sharp political operator. I have heard many men in NZ complain “Why doesn’t someone [else?] talk to the politicians and get everything sorted out?”. If I have tried to explain what is required to communicate well to politicians, I have been attacked as defeatist and […]

Misandrist Psychology

We came across this interesting article, one of a series. The article is about the ‘Conformity to Masculine Norms Inventory (CMNI)’, a questionnaire resulting in a numerical estimation of how ‘masculine’ you are. The questionnaire is almost certainly misleading and absolutely certainly misandrist. The article provides some interesting insights into how feminists and feminism work.

Was this about his child?

Tue 2nd June 2015:

Waikato school in lockdown. A Waikato primary school and kohanga reo were locked down while armed police negotiated with a man making threats involving a firearm. The man was arrested in the small town of Kerepehi, south of Thames, and taken into custody without incident after police spent hours trying to get him to surrender.

False accusations of abuse in the UK

Mon 1st June 2015:

I spent yesterday in Cardiff, where Felicity was speaking at the annual conference of FACT – Falsely Accused Caregivers and Teachers. The United Kingdom is currently experiencing a wave of sex-abuse hysteria.

Songs

Sun 31st May 2015:

For anyone interested, you can find two songs here (more to come in due course) by Johan Laven, a supporter of the Ministry of Men’s Affairs. The songs are ‘New Flag’ and ‘My Revenge’. Both songs have some indirect relevance to the kaupapa of MENZ Issues. They will cost you $2 each to download, for […]

An Interesting Economics Article

I realise this might be seen as off-topic for MENZ Issues. However, I think men still concern themselves a lot with politics and economic theory and readers might find this interesting. I will understand entirely if it is taken down as being outside the scope of MENZ Issues. http://topinfopost.com/2014/06/30/ultra-rich-mans-letter-to-my-fellow-filthy-rich-americans-the-pitchforks-are-coming

Budget 2015: Men Don’t Matter

Thu 28th May 2015:

In yesterday’s parliamentary budget debate, Maori Party co-leader Marama Fox celebrated new funding of $2.1 million for suicide prevention tagged to rangatahi Maori, i.e. Maori youth. Allocating this money for youth suicide seems disingenuous given that youth suicide rates are actually lower than the average rate for older age groups, but it does seem reasonable […]

The feminist dichotomy

Fri 22nd May 2015:

Oh! how it gives me joy to see the discourse amongst women around the latest policy on solo mothers required to be abailble for work when their youngest is aged 3. Day care centres are a product of feminists demands as a way of releasing mothers from the ball and chain of children (placed on […]

Churches and the Men’s Movement

Sun 17th May 2015:

There have always been some areas of agreement between religious followers and the men’s movement. However, this overlap is probably quite small. When it comes to particular issues, the churches seldom acknowledge men’s issues or even the impact on families and societies of male denigration. Churches still tend to favour anachronistic discriminatory attitudes toward women, […]
