2nd Meeting with Chief Human Rights Commissioner

Tue 22nd March 2016:

Chief Human Rights Commissioner David Rutherford has emphasized that human rights for males are as important as those for women and other groups.

Why Have a ‘Positive Women’ Campaign for HIV?

Thu 17th March 2016:

In the news yesterday was a video of Carolyn Brooker ‘explaining’ why she is supporting a campaign called ‘Positive Women’ after losing her daughter to AIDS. From the Positive Women campaign: “We aim to provide a support network for women and families living with HIV or AIDS”. A 2010 review of services supporting those with […]

Radio NZ Breached Broadcasting Standard

Wed 16th March 2016:

FYI, our media release: MoMA Media Release: 07 March 2016 Radio NZ Careless about Domestic Violence Figures The Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA) has upheld a complaint that Radio NZ broadcast incorrect statistics about family violence deaths. The incorrect figures claimed that more than twice as many women than men are being killed by family members […]

Men’s High Imprisonment Just Because They’re Bad

Sun 13th March 2016:

The headline item on One News today was about a group of lawyers who asked the Waitangi Tribunal to hear a case that high Maori imprisonment and reimprisonment rates reflect racism. The Tribunal has fast-tracked an urgent hearing to deal with this travesty. The elephant in the room of course is that the difference between […]

The Gender-Bender

Sat 12th March 2016:

This is part of a post from A Voice For Men Lies Men Are Fed Section: “There is no “I’ in team” This aphorism is used to promote selflessness and sacrifice in the common interest. Those that typically end up sacrificing the most are men. It is a false platitude exactly because every member of […]

Common Ground

Fri 11th March 2016:

There’s a story here, perhaps it’s a little off topic for men’s issues, but it does relate to fathers. There was a dread of course that I could just as easily be another phone call to the control room, which fortunately never happened, or I could be the one making that phone call, and that […]

A Hate Story

Wed 9th March 2016:

Her father was a man in uniform. That’s what she longed for, a husband just like him. She found him, the one she wanted, and was immediately pregnant. He didn’t mind the sex, but he wasn’t ready for a wife. She never saw him again and aborted their child. She liked male attention,

Flat-line Editing

Fri 4th March 2016:

Have you heard of flat-line editing before? Neither have I, but here is how I see it working. (Following on from Deconstructing Feminism) Flat line across the page, with a zone above and below the line. The flat line is the line of incompetence. Walking along this line should get you fired for incompetence in […]

Deconstructing Feminism

Thu 3rd March 2016:

This post follows on from End The Gender War. If I was to put Feminism in an ideological/political category, I’d go for totalitarian, and for that reason you cannot be ‘a man’ in a society of this nature. That eventually is completely taken away from you, and you only need look at some of the […]

End the Gender War

Wed 2nd March 2016:

There are many battle fronts against Feminism in this Gender War, but rarely do we see visible weapons and we struggle to recognise the source of the violence, this creeping violence, this increasing violence, this social violence that plagues our society, seemingly without explanation. Without explanation, or by concealing the explanation, of course men will […]

The Vulnerable Children Act: another law that discriminates against men.

Tue 1st March 2016:

The Vulnerable Children Act (2014) requires regulated organisations receiving any government funding to assess the risk of all employees applying for jobs working with children, and every three years all existing employees who work with children. The assessment includes police vetting on each occasion.

The “I’m Cranky” Speech

Many years ago Australian Lawyer Michael Green came to New Zealand to promote his book. I don’t recall the name of the book, but I do recall the speech he gave in Wellington. The “I’m Cranky” speech.

Recent Cases Show Feminist Ideology is Unsafe

Fri 26th February 2016:

Recent cases highlight the danger our society, or at least the male half, faces under current approaches to violence. The case of Shona Maiden was one. She gave her false account of events to police and even went to news media with photos of her son cuddling her and appeared on tv with convincing tears […]

Feminist Judgment

Thu 25th February 2016:

This Radio NZ article broadcast on Monday 22 Feb left our mouths hanging open. It was called ‘Feminist Judges’ and described a project funded by the Law Foundation (to the tune of $38,000) paying Elisabeth McDonald (Victoria University) and Rhonda Powell (Canterbury University) to re-write or get others to re-write judgments in a way that […]

Don’t Assault a Politician if You’re Male

Wed 24th February 2016:

Josie Butler threw a dildo at the face of Steven Joyce. That assault subjected Joyce to risk of injury. If it had landed differently it could have caused an eye, mouth or tooth injury, unlikely to have been serious but not impossible. Ms Butler’s cause was confused, not based on personal trauma, and she justified […]

The Hard Call

Tue 16th February 2016:

I’m not sure why I’m telling this story, but I’m going to tell it anyway. I think it’s a sort of a blokie story, but I’m not sure? It’s a New Zealand story though, so if you’re not from around this part of the world, it might not mean too much to you. This goes […]

England – A Land of Uncertainty

If you’ve been keeping up with men’s news lately, you will know that there has been a femorist attack in the land of England, and worse still an attempt on the life of their Legal Sovereign. What we do know at this stage contributors, has already been posted in these three posts. 1. England – […]

The Killing of The Sovereign

The Killing of the Sovereign – too much of a spoiler? You knew where I was going with this didn’t you? This is the third post on this topic. To catch up on the story you need to read, England – A Terrorist State of Law then Prosecution of the Fantasy, and also the comments […]

Prosecution of the Fantasy

Mon 15th February 2016:

The recent post England – A Terrorist State of Law discusses a report that brought into the light the activism of their Feminised Crown Prosecution Service. It is centred on the case of Mark Pearson, accused of the sexual violation of actress Souad Faress. Looking at this case, many people are asking, including the accused, […]

Father lodges human rights violations complaint against government with UN

Tue 9th February 2016:

A father-of-two has laid a complaint with the United Nations alleging a judge’s decision barring him from taking his children out of New Zealand to visit their dying grandfather violates their human rights. The man, an American who cannot be named under New Zealand Family Court rules, laid the complaint on Thursday under the Human […]

A woman’s allegation now outweighs hard evidence

Mon 8th February 2016:

Check out this ridiculous case in Britain. Our guess is that the prima donna took objection to the accused man not giving way to her in the bustle of the London train station, so made up a claim involving serious sexual assault. The case shows that a woman can now lie about being sexually assaulted, […]

Men’s issues artwork..

To thank those who go to lengths to bring awareness to men’s issues I got plywood out and tried to create an image that sums up the situation. Its dedicated with sincere thanks to you all. MoMa, please list a postal address so I can have it couriered.

England – A Terrorist State of Law

Like the post title – pretty catchy click-bait you think? Wait until you read this one. England is highly regarded for the development and maintenance (in spite of any imperfections) of its Westminster legal system – but if anything could destroy that in one court case, it’s Feminist Jurisprudence. What he cannot understand, what still […]

A Tale of Two Pities

Sun 7th February 2016:

On one hand we have the story of the Ponytail-Pulling Prime minister. On the other we have the story of the dildo-throwing protester. Both have done the circuit on the international media and amused an international audience. What’s your comparison?

Media Meltdown – Mob Rule

This is an issue that has increasingly impacted on male integrity through the digital age, and it is time to recognise and discuss this evolution, and give it some meaning, from the men’s perspective. The social effects are significant and the change might be paralleled with the advent of the printing press. News, as many […]
