White Muddled Class Wail

Tue 23rd May 2017:

I’m sick of ‘White Middle-Class Male’ arogance. Rohan Lord got the wakeup call he deserved. Was he that politicaly naive, that socially disconnected, that remotely hopeful, that he could make any change by joining the Labour Party. He got chucked?

An island that doesn’t allow women

Mon 22nd May 2017:

Okinoshima, an interesting idea. Perhaps NZ’s two main islands could do the same.

Pie in the Fluffy Sky with Diamonds

Sun 21st May 2017:

A kaleidoscope car appears at your door Waiting to take you away Climb in the back, with your head in the clouds And

Exclusion of Males Spreading

Sat 20th May 2017:

A previous post discussed the misuse of a publicly funded swimming pool by banning males and allowing only females at the complex for several prime hours each week. Now we read that a girls’ school netball tournament has been banning men from any presence or role, including the girls’ fathers.

The Social Graphic of Suicide

I really don’t think people get this, and it pains me to watch the chaos building around both the discussion and the prospective fix, which as I see it, is encouraging the problem, not helping it. As a young New Zealander

Family Court Costs

Fri 19th May 2017:

I need some reliable info. I have been crippled for the last year in custody hearings at the FC and my bet is I’m going to come second again! My predicament is that the is to be a final hearing next month and while I am entitled to legal aid I don’t use it as […]

Women Marrying Themselves

This trend is quite something. Apparently it’s somehow related to being a feminist, or single, or something.

Colin Craig and Cameron Slater

Thu 18th May 2017:

If either were my child, I’d definitely want a God to pray to for an explanation. Apparently they’re both in the Auckland High Court exercising their Christian principals and suing each other for defamation. They deserve each other, they’re a couple of spoilt brats, and equally a waste of good skin. Colin Craig the former […]

Electronic Bail for Female Offenders

This is something I have wondered about for quite some time – whether electronic bail is applied more liberally for the ‘fairer sex’ for the same crime? A 29 year old woman, arrested yesterday, appeared in the Blenheim District Court this morning, charged with drug related offending and breaching electronic bail conditions. The prisoner has […]

And if it was an extraordinary guy…would they get a free pass

Wed 17th May 2017:

What the hell…could you imagine a male getting the possible same treatment if the roles were reversed. Aspiring heart surgeon who stabbed boyfriend in England may avoid jail because she’s ‘extraordinary’

Do These Texts Show Partner Abuse?

Mon 15th May 2017:

This was a weird one. The heading was ‘Husband’s shocking texts reveal reality of domestic violence‘. Well we might have missed something but the texts didn’t seem shocking and there was nothing showing domestic violence happening or having happened. Is it we or they who are irrational? Or is it a cynical production of a […]

I Don’t Want it to be a Secret

Fri 12th May 2017:

I can’t get a link up at the moment. The story is a Stuff news item, about the wife of an Australian doctor who committed suicide. Wife of Australia doctor writes letter about his suicide to show ‘we’re not ashamed’

Margaret Dodds

Serial offender. Child abuser.

Core Values

Wed 10th May 2017:

Can I start by giving ‘core values’ some definition:

Immigration and our future

Sat 6th May 2017:

New Zealand, like all Western nations, continues to import some of the worst people and practices that other nations have to offer. The resulting friction between good and bad immigrants, and politicians of every position regarding the matter attracts a significant amount of attention.

Real Estate People Profit From Separations

This article describes a video for property investors etc encouraging them to target ‘divorcees’ among others and to employ tactics such as working together with others to add credibility to low offers. While this is not exclusively a men’s issue, men should be aware of it. Real estate people, property investors (including anyone looking to […]

Labour says a rape victim should be believed as a starting point.

Sun 30th April 2017:

I hate getting political. But when you read the news story below you just have no choice but to say something. . http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/91913865/police-are-telling-rape-victims-their-hands-are-tied-if-the-accused-denies-it Stuff news story reports;

Workplace Deaths All Men

Fri 28th April 2017:

7 deaths in a 2 week period in NZ-all men. And none of these jobs (forestry, construction, farming) have been adjudged as worthy of a payrise. The danger alone in these occupations warrants financial acknowledgement. Yet when caregivers were compared to prison officers (another dangerous occupation) they were deemed as being discriminated against. The logic […]

Letter to Dr David Nabarro, U.N. World Health Organization

Tue 25th April 2017:

FYI: Dr Nabarro is a contender for the position of head honcho in the World Health Organization (WHO). In your interview yesterday (24/04/17) on Radio New Zealand’s ‘Nine to Noon’ show, you stated

I posted the following to Kelvin Davis and various labour MP’s

Sat 22nd April 2017:

Dear Mr Davis I am writing to express general disappointment at your decision not to host the men’s summit in April. Apparently you had made a commitment around Christmas time but then pulled out with the statement “Not only will criticism of feminism NOT be tolerated, even ALMOST criticism will not be tolerated”. For an […]

Promoting the Lucrative Industry of Prostitution

Fri 21st April 2017:

Have you noticed the recent campaign across all media to increase the status and acceptability of prostitution (well, only female prostitution)? This article is just one of many recent articles providing ‘findings’ and commentary that appear to be aimed at normalizing and sanitizing prostitution.

Pay rise should be universal

Thu 20th April 2017:

The news recently that workers in 3 female dominated areas (professions?) ie aged residential care, home support, disability services is to be heralded It will cost $500 million a year and no doubt will be borne by the rest of us. Such a sweeping pay rise is not linked to productivity and so could set […]

Media Release: Kelvin Davis Left Men Hanging

Media Release today:

Child Support when Child is 18 but at some form of school???

Sun 16th April 2017:

Does anyone know what my liability situation should be after my child turns 18?; i.e. child will soon be 18 (next month) but mother has a history of allowing child to take multiple days off school and consequently impaired the child’s education. Child is currently not enrolled at any school that I know of because […]

Anti-masturbation ‘bill’ – For males only

Sat 8th April 2017:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVx21fnAMsY http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/life/91357335/antimasturbation-bill-will-receive-its-first-reading-but-has-no-hope-of-passing A US female lawmaker has put forward a bill that would require men in Texas fined US$100 if they have masturbated without supervision. I note that no such anti masturbation law is required for woman. Just males. Fine is US$100.
