The seventies were a time that had humans rally for humanity. There was no technology driven communication being used by the masses but it seemed that hoards of people were coming together for a common concern..hee hee and lucky for them music was abound and the quality would become classic…ahhh… and I guess we have […]

See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil..what a wonderful world we live in, as long as your are not one of the ‘accountables’… Accountability is the new handshake and the spoken word a whisper…. Sitting in the Smoko room with a woman colleague, I mentioned a bit about a news item I had […]

This article highlights problems in the way our media and feminist groups approach family violence.

I have come to the opinion that the root problem for men, and in particular white males, emanates from a political dogma that was spawned by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels as laid out in their published material, Das Kapital. In short, it paints a picture of the oppressor and the oppressed within an economic […]

It is interesting that the headline and the one kicking upa skink is the “outraged mother”. A mother has been left ‘fuming’ after her husband was denied entry to a parents’ room because there were ‘other mothers in there’. Sarah Fa’avale, who is based in New Zealand, shared a rant on Facebook calling out women […]

Something seems wrong about this proposed law change that will enable people to change their birth certificates to categorize them as whatever gender they ‘identify with’. No medical or Court involvement necessary. In addition there might be a change allowing parents to describe themselves according to their preference on their child’s birth certificate as either […]

How does a group become a minority group..and how do they change the way they are treated by society, the law and the other groups that our society is made up of??? Same sex people have done it, Women are doing it, Native birds are doing it, hell everyone that can is doing it. Not […]

One would wonder, if there is a war going on here, and children are being used, whom is the protection for ?,, the child or the mother. For myself the question to ask is who is getting hurt the most???

Dangerous Don,,, Canadian Far Right Speakers… who will put their neck out there next only to have it chopped off… Mob mentality on the rise??

In days of yesteryear one would more likely be on foot as there were less vehicles around; as I am today because some bastard stole my car, stole my car, stole my car … however some small compensation was passing this piece of street art nestled in a desperate-to-not-look-too-derelict street. I almost missed this inspirational […]

They do exist, right? Do they or is it just a social hangup men have where they are inclined to defend any female under attack? I saw this comment on Menz the other day; Nice to see a firmly grounded man deeply in touch with his inner feminist side. Does this suggest

I think we have been asking what the hell is going on for a long time now but it seems we have a new book exploring that question also. I haven’t read it, so perhaps it’s asking different questions. There is an interesting list of contributing authors shown on the front cover. Penguin Books Writers […]

If you are LUCKY? enough to have a mortgage it will probably effect your sex life, if you do not have a mortgage it will probably effect your sex life..the hours we are working have gotten longer and the travel times extended.. Is making our ends meet stopping our meeting, .. Some time ago an […]

The evolution of our new social system, woman first society, call it what you want – how would you describe it apart from a bloody great mess? Amongst this are numerous new trends that older observers may be noticing. One I’ve noted recently is the Thirty-Something-Girl. Given the national shortage of men there has to […]

This is a rather interesting case from the courts. A 30 year old man, who has name surpression, decided to film an interaction with a prostitute. He contacted the woman through a website which prohibits making video recordings. While they were engaged in their sexual activity she spotted his cell phone and realised what he […]

But, he’s been conned in to donning a donated dress to raise funds for Women’s Refuge. I don’t want to embarrass Paul, he’s a nice guy, been through the mill, but mate, […]

This breaking story and its ramifications will create a ripple through the family courts but will the outcome be positive for fathers? Only time will tell.

He (not his real name) was sitting in the kitchen. The closest chair to the door was turned around facing out into the courtyard. He had a king pose going on, arms folded, knees apart, feet crossed, shadowed by the darkness of the room behind him. And sunnies; those typical fail proof, close-knit eye hiders. […]

The woman’s view although they have had a liberated voice for a long time is often a little obscure. It varies from here come those crazy bitches to vary degrees of nods or silence to may God help you … (I do recall that last one being as recent as last year, whoever the kind […]

If you’re out there at the coal face, no doubt you can smell the campaign fires burning. We’re seeing the smoke signals waving to each other through our technology. Fifteen 15 years ago Jan Doogue described the court she had been part of as a failed experiment. It’s struggled from crisis to crisis ever since. […]

An honest question that I hope will create some discussion. Is society’s failure of boys is evidence of sexism against males? If boys are so easy to raise, why are we so shit at it? If as I suspect they require the same attention girls do, does the fact we give them less reflect the […]
