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 wonder if this clearing house will include any members of the fathers coalition

Good question Alastair.
I wonder if it will also include research into men’s experience of protection orders too.

They have squarely wrapped themselves in the child, and will come into all discussions as the true defender of the child, and therefore all they may wish to do will be pure, as everyone else will be placed in the position of attacking the child defender. This rhetoric is dishonorable, for they put forth not hard nosed positions, but slogans that none can disagree with.
Motherhood, apple pie and wrapping yourself in the flag has turned into Feminism, fear from everything is OK and wrapping yourself in the child. Have we advanced from the dreaded past or have some merely change slogans to do the same kind of social engineering without any real evaluation of the last few deacades of high rhetoric. Don’t ask them, for to ask them is to attack the “Child Defender”, which means you are bad, bad and angry white male material. Very bad ground to start any 5 minute clip on the tube with, and you are surely bound to put off the generation that doesn’t like hard nosed debates on logical facts.
What are the cold facts in total, compared to feelings, happy talk and narrow stats with a agenda between the lines.
