Father and Son Music

Sat 24th April 2021:

I thought I’d put this YouTube clip in here for fathers who like music. If you’ve got a good link to something similar add a comment.

The Political Affect of Women

Fri 23rd April 2021:

This is from another page but in reading it I felt it hinted at the long term involvement of women in politics since they achieved voting rights. Their involvement in the protest movement, the anti-war movement, left wing causes, and now in this age climate change and particularly in the international arena has been a […]

Hate Speech

Sat 17th April 2021:

I hate to say this but when we have modern left-wing governments in power there are always more detrimental consequences for men. These changes often come dressed in disguise though, and we don’t see the ulterior motives intended by any proposed changes. We don’t see much being written on menz these days either. It’s as […]

Deceased Estates

Fri 16th April 2021:

If a man’s life was starting to look like it wasn’t his own, you can rest assured neither will his death be once new inheritance laws are impacted.

Nurit Zubery wrote a thesis on the impacts of men during and after divorce.

Mon 12th April 2021:

Interview on RNZ: Nurit Zubery is a NZ feminist who is clearly not one of the man-hating variety. She wrote a thesis on the impacts of men during and after divorce. She says there was very little world research on the impact of men divorcing. This is part of what she reported in her thesis. […]

To the Government of New Zealand – Where are the laws to reduce teen suicide? The hope and wait system is not working.

Dear Jacinda Ardern. Here is a question for you. If a Government sits back and watches social media cause the suicide (now coined “mental health”) of its citizens and does nothing, are they to blame for the death of thousands of our youth? Jac, if someone causes the death of someone with a weapon, car, […]

RNZ Settlements

Sun 11th April 2021:

Screenshot taken from Twitter. This is not something I know anything about. When I saw this from Sean Plunkett I thought at the very least media may be letting themselves down here. Any information gratefully accepted in the comments.

Leadership

Leadership was definitely an issue being discussed in the public discourse this weekend without news of the death of Prince Philip. A long distinguished career as the Queen’s husband has been central to his 99 years, more so than his miltary career, in the service of the Commonwealth of Nations to which New Zealand has […]

Criticism In General

Sat 10th April 2021:

I was born into the era before post war feminism took hold in New Zealand. I’ve seen the changes but I’ve never been accepting of the negative aspects of feminism that plague men in New Zealand or internationally in a more general sense. Some changes are obvious, while others are more subtle, and some perhaps […]

NZ 2021 Mental Health Report

Fri 9th April 2021:

After reading the previous post I copied this here from a political page. It’s relevant to the previous post and I think some of the underlying causes that aren’t dealt with, that cause the mental health issue to grow rather than get better.

Health Minister Andrew Little hiding true facts and information regarding Suicide facts.

Thu 8th April 2021:

Andrew Little hides Suicide Information & Facts The link will take you to a video. 2 Years late. Suicide figures now deleted from the NZ Mental Health Report. Andrew Little blames staff. Shawn Robinson from Newshub has asked Andrew Little how many have died under his watch. Andrew Little said he does not know. Little […]

Siouxsie Wiles

Sat 3rd April 2021:

The hot topic of the long weekend is the New Zealander of the Year Award going to microbiologist, Siouxsie Wiles. Photo:Siouxsie Wiles It was

False Accusations & The Ministry of Health Denial of Male Emotional Pain

Thu 1st April 2021:

Andrew Little is the current Minister of Health. He has done little to reduce the suicide rate of men. I can only conclude Mr Andrew Little has no intention to address or raise the issue. Mr Little the taxpayer pays you to do your job. You are not reducing the male suicide rate. The very […]

Mental Health Report

Wed 31st March 2021:

https://www.health.govt.nz/publication/office-director-mental-health-and-addiction-services-annual-report-2018-and-2019 Report Link Twenty years back this platform was a rogue nuisance demanding the freedom of such information. Credit to Henry Cooke, Stuff’s head political journalist for his work here. Many individuals suffered the unfortunate consequences of political aggression because the media wasn’t working as it should. I haven’t suddenly become a STUFF fan, it’s […]

Men Must Write

I’ve copied this from a New Zealand political page … It could just as easily apply here.

School makes 12 year old boys stand in front of the girls during assembly and ‘apologise for rapes committed by their gender’

Tue 30th March 2021:

News Story Here Parents and male students were left ‘mortified’ after their school forced them to stand in assembly and apologise to their female classmates for sexual assaults committed by males. Brauer College in the south-western Victorian town of Warrnambool held an assembly on Wednesday where boys were told to stand up in a symbolic […]

On Conservatives

Tue 23rd March 2021:

Yesterday I put up a post on Todd Muller but what struck me most in the comments was not reflecting so much on his situation but more along the lines of how that might be seen in thinking about conservatives. These days conservatism is seen as

Housing Crisis caused by Feminism and the breakdown of the family unit.

D-day for the Government’s plan to fix housing, with few easy options i.e. TAX. Housing Crisis caused by Feminism and the breakdown of the family unit. Separated families need two dwellings. Both dwellings need to have a bedroom for each child. That is not what the law says, its what a Family Court orders. Duckduckgo.com […]

On Todd Muller

Mon 22nd March 2021:

I was in a discussion recently about the National Party. More specifically about the year prior. I had to refer to Muller as the guy who rolled Simon Bridges because I couldn’t remember his name. I forgive myself for that, though, he was very much an unknown in the political narrative, but to be fair […]

Conversation around Consent,,, and the need to understand the reasons why we are having this conversation…

Fri 19th March 2021:

When I initially heard what the NSW Police commissioner was proposing,, I kinda liked the idea. He announced they are thinking of using an APP for consent to sex. I thought it could possibly help protect guys.. could make it worse.. debate still out. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-03-18/nsw-sexual-consent-app-proposed-by-mick-fuller/100015782 Actually the phone I personally own doesn’t get used and […]

Empathy

Mon 15th March 2021:

So, you don’t have empathy or you don’t feel like you have empathy? A small percentage of the population don’t and that has a significant affect on their personalities and their relationships with other people. But don’t let feminists fool you into believing you’re not empathetic if you don’t agree with them or don’t feel […]

Andrew Little is here again to increase the male suicide rate in New Zealand using the new sex violence bill

Sat 13th March 2021:

Andrew Little is here to increase the male suicide rate in New Zealand. https://www.stuff.co.nz/opinion/124274106/sex-violence-bill-crosses-the-line-on-access-to-a-fair-trial Do you want to know how you fade away the rights of an individual? You do it in steps. When people become accustomed you just add another step. A layer. Removal of common law rights. Countries around the world have done […]

New Sex Violence Bill

Fri 12th March 2021:

An interesting critique of the new Sex Violence bill by a QC: https://www.stuff.co.nz/opinion/124274106/sex-violence-bill-crosses-the-line-on-access-to-a-fair-trial One thing the proposed new law seems to do is make it more difficult for a woman’s relationship history to be brought up in court. Fair enough, you might say – obviously there’s a danger of someone’s past behaviour being used against […]

Commercialized Rape

Fri 26th February 2021:

This political position may have emerged somewhere in the past prior to NZ Opposition Leader Judith Collins’ announcement that this was her personal view, back somewhere around our recent 2020 election. It’s gained some traction amongst right wing supporters although I wouldn’t say Conservative supporters. It’s another of those
