Bullies in the work place have alway been see as male. Here is evidence that the tyrants have no gender boundries. http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/legal/article360408.ece

Gwynn writes: Dear John, It saddens me to see that your website is devoted entirely to the rights of fathers who have been separated from their children by the family court. I am a mum and have been separated from my children also by way of the family court because of the ‘status quo’ that […]

A while ago I put my case to Ruth Dyson (Min of the CYFSterhood). I showed, quite clearly, in my posit, that the CYFSterhood had simply created an opinion on my fitness to be a care-giver, and then went about digging up as much trash as they could to support thier opinion. And that included […]

Is it the vain dream of one man in every language that there may be a number among us that would sacrifice self interest for the mantle of leadership, to preserve the integrity of society., and perhaps the peace of the world.
Juxtapose if you will the actions of dealing with the domestic violence industry by the police and courts today and in the movie “The Devils”, directed by Ken Russell in 1971. It is set in the Middle Ages when the church and state were one. The movie had a tremendous impact on me because of […]

Police are on the front line when it comes to dealing with volatility in relationships so one would think that they would be given special training with regards to inflaming situations by making decisions that lack any intelligence. This appears however, not to be the case. I have found that whilst the police do not […]

If I have seen a fundamental change in the last 30 years, it is that the bully used to lose, but now the bully wins.
Proving, yet again, that the double-standard is alive and well in New Zealand. And that it is the beleaguered male who bears the brunt.
The reasons for the decision – there are fundamental differences in the New Zealand justice system which meant these men wouldn’t get a fair trial.

Anybody will to take me up on a bet that Dr Joan has no children and has never been separated? “Leading US clinical psychologist Dr Joan Kelly, who is a world expert in children’s adjustment to separation, told the conference………….” “Dr Fred Seymour, who has been running the North Shore programme, said the goal was […]

Child abuse as we see it is a consequence of a much more diverse political atmosphere than we take into account. Because we don’t think like this we live in a vacuum of our own values, socialisation and experiences.
(From Our American Friends at Mad Men)
If the North and South article “Our Shame” reminds me of anything it is their previous attempt to undo the myth of failure, in their article “Court of Injustice”
The following is an excerpt from this morning’s Herald. Ms Wiseman-Dare, who was not part of that group, said she felt the not-guilty verdicts sent the wrong message to rape victims, and could discourage possible complainants from going to police in future. And what is the wrong message? Obviously, Ms Wiseman-Dare believes that all alleged […]

Reading an article in the current (May) issue of North & South magazine I see some possible signs of change in the thinking that drives NZ social policy. The author of “Our Shame”, as many magazine writers have done before, has set out to (in her words) “traverse the grim statistics of child abuse, neglect, […]

Those people that control the direction of New Zealand society have descended to an absolutely laughable level of individual and collective responsibility. Even my dog has more conscience.

As mentioned in my reply to Bevan’s post. When I was a kid I was free to break any bone in my body, lacerate any skin or muscle, and largely free to report any such damage to my parents….only if we ‘really’ needed to. But the damage had to be pretty bad before we brought […]
Quite frankly – I wouldn’t be bothered being an employer in New Zealand again.
I spent an unusual day yesterday with a friend having access to his little girl. His little girl has been in CYFS cusotdy for about 4 years. At the last Family Group Conference it was decided the care givers would become the custodians of this child and her sister. This was granted through the FC […]

I had to search for information because I needed to know and understand for myself whether I was being right with my judgement on you and feminism. These are just 3 things I have considered. Being a man and talking to feminists is a lot like what I imagine it’s like to be Jewish and […]

It’s felt like a hopeful week for dads and for the stolen generation of children. Dpex has been hard at work generating a campaign. And for the first time, I noticed the notion of equal parenting rights gaining a mention in the mainstream media, which made me feel good. This has been thanks to the […]
And again, It seems to me we need to expand the regime on all fronts. More protests in person and many more protests by letter an email. However, protests gain attention but they don’t necessarily gain direct results. Protests can be seen as an energy-creating processes. More protests=more energy=more recognition. More recognition=greater attention. Greater attention=more […]
Hi all, Me, being a bit of a dimwit when the mood takes me (read often) the fact that Mr Satyanand is actually now the Governor General and not the Ombudsman, failed to take root in my poor adled brain. However, the good news is this. I am in receipt of a reply to my […]

Hi again, It occurs to me that the CYFSterhood et al have access to unlimited money, whereas we victims do not…mainly because our taxes are being used by the CYFSterhood to fight us. And so we need to establish a fighting fund. John P. Will you put up your hand to become treasurer? I would, […]
