Suicide And The Hidden Reality

Tue 4th July 2017:

The NZ Herald has run a story on youth suicide. Any story helping to drop the suicide rate is to be commended but why pick youth suicide as though that’s where the BIG PROBLEM lie. Check out this bar chart and you might see my point. For the website go here It should stick out […]

Mon 3rd July 2017:

A guy called Ashley Farrell claims he was a child when he shared company with Paula Bennett and he experienced her doing things that may have been illegal, while he also claims to have been aware of other things she was doing at the time that may have been illegal in her capacity as a […]

Motion To Amend The Purpose of This Site and to Amend the Governance Policies.

Sun 2nd July 2017:

I have not been a member of this site for very long relative to some of the others, but I find that it’s rules are draconian and support adult censorship; specifically the involvement of John Potter who proclaims to own the site and his minions you proclaim to remove content on the grounds that it […]

The Death of a Child

Fri 30th June 2017:

We are seeing more often the death of children due to distracted ‘carers’ and convictions for manslaughter. Mother and grandmother jailed for death of baby Isaiah in hot car In this case the comparison is drawn in the article about one other case and the sentence. There is also a question of the presence or […]

Our Submission to Ministry of Health Concerning Suicide Prevention Strategy

Tue 27th June 2017:

MoMA asked Hans Laven to prepare a submission and we post it here with thanks for his hard work. It’s not short but hopefully worthwhile. We draw attention here particularly to Section 2, Section 3 and Section 6.1. And the sentence that pretty well sums up the previous and the currently proposed Suicide Prevention Strategy: […]

The Perverse Effects of Child Support

Sun 25th June 2017:

We need to be aware in our conversations with other men (and women), that within the depth of our ongoing experiences, we hold valuable information which needs to be collected, if by no other means than the addition to this reservoir of experiences. The voice of men is too often drowned out in the flow […]

Feminism, it’s not about equality.

Sat 24th June 2017:

A response to this article http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/women-of-influence/94016874/women-of-influence-feminism-has-been-around-for-over-150-years-and-its-still-needed that I’m sure wont be published in Stuff.co.nz Story Here I recently read an opinion by Anna Guenther concerning the future of feminism. She started her opinion off with a tale of some casual sexism, but don’t worry it was sexism against men so that’s okay in feminist world. […]

Entertaining Stupidity

It was always going to happen, but many people may still scratch their heads and wonder why? We look around us and see not only the current rabble of destructive youth, but an increasing number of adult female offenders, in particular you might observe, the multi-million dollar fraud club of mischievous-maids. I’m sure they compare […]

Finding my Child

Sun 18th June 2017:

Hi, The mother of my child took her out of NZ 3 years ago against my will but the Courts allowed it so there was nothing I could do. She was 15 at the time but is now 18. I had very little contact with her while she was overseas because her mother gave a […]

Sex, lies and a baby: When dads discover they aren’t the father after all

Fri 16th June 2017:

News Clip Its not so common to see news stories mainstream like the one above. You just couldn’t miss it if you were a member of parliament. This site is about mens issues.

Pornosexuality

Thu 8th June 2017:

This newly named sexual orientation, ‘pornosexual’, is probably related to some extent to MGTOW. Under modern laws and administration, relationships and marriage have been made seriously dangerous for men. However, there’s no mention in the article about that aspect of the issue. Previous posts have highlighted a mounting campaign by feminist forces against pornography. We […]

Discharge of Protection Order

Tue 6th June 2017:

My ex partner took out a protection order and I challenged it as she accused me of several things but as it always goes I lost and it became final …. I breached the temporary protection order by communicating with her online and sending her texts as I wanted to assure her I meant no […]

Treating Babies Differently by Gender

Mon 5th June 2017:

This study should be fascinating, probably for its poor research design, invalid extrapolation, poor reasoning and misuse of words that mean one thing to imply they mean something else. From what we can make out, the researcher surveyed a group of parents and found that 79% said they wanted their children to be free of […]

Preventing adolescent relationship abuse and promoting healthy relationships

Sat 3rd June 2017:

Media have given publicity to a NZ Family Violence Clearinghouse paper recently prepared by Dr Melane Beres called “Preventing adolescent relationship abuse and promoting healthy relationships”. The paper is an opinion piece citing various research papers of varying quality in support. This may have been lost on journalists who attributed various statistics to the ‘report’s […]

Family Wills – When your new partner can acquire money, home & property intended for your own children.

News story here. Where there’s a will, there’s a way to challenge it So what happens when your new partner hawks off with your house, money and stuff and your kids are left with little or nothing? I suppose a death is similar to a separation or divorce. Should it go to your kids or […]

Guardianship without Notice

Hi all I am thinking of going down this route as a step parent. Biological father lives on the other side of the world. Mother (my wife) has health issues, I need to be able to make calls on the spot re: children in case she can’t Biological father will oppose my application for no […]

Dissillusioned

Police and Protection Orders

Thu 25th May 2017:

Last year, after my ex decided that she wanted another pound of flesh took my children from me under the guise of an interim custody order (I’m still fighting this in court). Prior to this (some 7 years ago and I’m sure no surprise to most) she obtained a protection order, which she then supported […]

A Woman (Joanne Harrison) Offends, A Male is Found to Punish

The case of Auditor-General Martin Matthews appears to be another example of men being held responsible when women misbehave. Not much has fundamentally changed in attitudes since the era in which husbands were considered responsible for their wives’ behaviour and debts.
