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 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’

Serial offender. Child abuser.

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

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.

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 […]

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;

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 […]

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

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 […]

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.

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 today:

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 […]

I note that no such anti masturbation law is required for woman. Just males. Fine is US$100.

Media Release Ministry of Men’s Affairs 3 April 2017 MPs Out to Lunch on Male Welfare Despite long-standing concerns about the welfare of Kiwi men and boys, our politicians are “out to lunch” on Male Welfare, claims spokesman for the Ministry of Men’s Affairs, Kerry Bevin.

Hello everybody The drama continues. Disgruntled members of the Miramar Golf Club don’t like MEN meeting to discuss well-being and gender equality at their club. New venue: The Boardroom, Level One, Wellington Master Builders House, cnr Willis and Vivian streets.

How do you all feel about some sort of a petition for Mr Ferguson; requesting that he receive compensation for the State’s error in convicting and jailing him? At the very least he is entitled to an apology from the Minister of Justice. Are there any IT experts who could draft up an on-line petition? […]

But of little interest to pharmaceutical companies. Interesting article.

Feminists, white knights and moralists are currently mounting a campaign against pornography. False propaganda is rapidly being invented and disseminated (no pun intended…) through our media: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

There is nothing wrong in advocating for women’s rights- but when this morphs into denigrating men we need to speak out. Various newspapers print anti-male articles on a very regular basis. Unsubstantiated stories citing domestic abuse by men against women are common-never once have I seen an article of the reciprocal situation. There is evidence […]

The heartfelt response to Adele’s songs by so many young people, especially young women, teaches us things. They are songs of love, heartbreak and yearning. After a period in which popular music became harsh, violent, frenetic, disrespectful and unmelodic, youth now revert to being much more deeply moved by slow, musical songs about relationships, emotional […]
