I’m seeing the odd news flash on this but nothing substantial. It appears to be only in the trial stage but hey, having a spit in a jar has got to be less stressful than the fear of a hand on each shoulder … let’s pray for sucess on this one. Jokes aside, if you […]

Kirsty Johnston’s article directed at ‘toxic men’ was published by the NZ Herald but they’re unlikely to publish even a letter to the editor with a similar reference to women or any other group. Only for men is it considered acceptable to publish such hate speech against them. Ms Johnston’s vicious diatribe commenced with outlining […]

“The dirty ole bastard next door has got a young floozie living with him.” I just bit my tongue. Nice lady, older conservative, perhaps even a little embittered, and felt the need to express her moral outrage. That was a few years back now, when another friend starting his second family was getting married to […]

The young lady (Not her real name) was very up front about her history but proud of the length of time she had being (had been) drug free. “I’ve even had hair follicle tests to prove it, and I passed those too.” Telling me she really wanted to get her kids back, I asked

Professor Janice Fiamengo’s latest video exposes in her part of the world what we have frequently exposed in our part of the world: the devaluation of men and the favourable treatment of women including in the justice system.

It has since been discovered that her clothing company has been putting ‘Fabrique en Nouvelle-Zelande’ (‘Made in NZ’) tags on clothes that were made in Bangladesh. According to her reasoning, that should be all ok because the tags themselves were made in […]

This appears to currently be topical. Is it amongst the banter in the smoko rooms of our workplaces? Will Clarke rise above the Feminist soap opera – you know, the how we think it should be done? Have you been a stay-at-home Dad? “Mate, there’s nothing to it, you can work and look after the […]

Protest, suicide, despair, a message yet to be heard. I have no idea but if you know anything about this gruesome death please comment.

It’s an essential element in humanity, isn’t it? Most recognizable in New Zealand by … what’s your uh ha moment there? Perhaps the immortal words of, you know, that fellow that climbed Mt Everest. “We knocked the bugger off.” More recently this has been suceeded by a procession of …

Jacinda Adern is our 3rd female Prime Minister, however what is substantially different is the public inclusion of her partner (Clarke Gayford) by comparison to the husbands of her predecessors Jenny Shipley and Helen Clark. With the presence of social media it has been much easier for Gayford to put his political oar to the […]

The Mothers Project: connecting women in prison with their kids People’s right probably needs to be respected to provide support for whatever particular group they wish to. Others, especially men, perhaps could set up a similar support system to help male inmates locate and reconnect with their children, including help to understand Family Court documents […]

Picture: courtesy of The Alexander Turnbull Library Walking Wounded is a picture taken by Henry Sanders (New Zealand official war photographer) 100 years ago, at Courcelles 6th April 1918 – who knows if they ever made it out alive, or what their lives may have been like afterwards. It was the title that caught my […]

As a result of recent resignations within our opposition National Party two new faces head for parliament from their current list. 48 Nicola Willis – central Wellington 49 Agnes Loheni – Mangere The anti-male attitude of the left wing is well entrenched and well known – if we weren’t recently reminded with Genter’s little outburst […]

Long serving dean of the Otago Law School Professor Mark Henaghan is stepping aside from his position and will remain at the University for the remainder of the year, while his deputy Professor Jessica Parker will fill the position. Henaghan is not unknown for his recognition of men’s issues within the legal system, and his […]

It is, as we know, unusual to see Family Court decisions in the media. While this one has its basis in a dispute between the court and the Ministry of Social Development over a Whāngai (informal adoption) case I have highlighted the authoritive statement by this judge which I am sure many will find interesting. […]
