Is the Ban on Using Force in Discipline Working?

Fri 20th February 2015:

The anti-smacking law (actually the anti-use-of-force-in-discipline law) was based largely on feminist ideology. The idea that male characteristics of size and strength should be allowed to be used to exert ‘power and control’ was anathema to feminists, and they projected their sense of injustice on to the matter of raising and disciplining children. State-sponsored sole […]

A Great loss to NZ

Tue 17th February 2015:

Celia Lashlie passed away today after suffering from cancer. She was a very wise woman and a great advocate in the education of raising healthy young males in our society. She will be sorely missed and I salute her for her brave stance in our matriachal ideologically driven society.

Unbelievable Duplicity Story number 73,456,864: “International tug-of-war in custody fight”. In order to pursue her own career, this mother deliberately abducted the daughter to the USA against the wishes of the girl’s father and denied the girl a meaningful relationship with the father for some years.

Fifty Shades of Grey

Fri 13th February 2015:

Source Article: Lloyd, who engages with victims at the point where they require or have obtained a protection order against their alleged abusers, said the issue for the court was whether what took place was domestic violence. “The legal argument is about whether there was domestic violence given there was consent,” she said. “Well, how […]

Is Valentines all about women?

Wed 11th February 2015:

First what’s it all about? As much as I am a little cautious about referring to Wikipedia, this seems reasonable enough. There is no evidence of any link between St. Valentine’s Day and the rites of the ancient Roman festival, despite many claims by many authors.[15][37][notes 1] The celebration of Saint Valentine did not have […]

Men seen as Actors – Women seen as Acted Upon

Sun 8th February 2015:

A short video clip to show why men are treated poorly. It details why some men choose to end their lives.

Isn’t this just typical NZ reporting ….

Fri 6th February 2015:

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/65874779/teen-bashes-lone-girl-at-west-auckland-train-station Nowhere in this “report” does it say the attacker was a girl. Oh, it says that the victim was a girl, but the gender of the attacker is conveniently omitted throughout. Sexist ? You betcha !

UNCROC report by MOJ

Tue 3rd February 2015:

Hey all, I havent seen this mentioned here so am wondering who is following this, attending the HRC workshops and who will be making a “submission” on the MOJ’s report that it will submit to the UN. I began reading it last night, up to about page 30 and have already picked up 30 points […]

Why is Circumcision Not Treated as Sexual Abuse?

Sat 31st January 2015:

Circumcision is another example of duplicity in the way many people think about gender issues, and an incredible example of sexism that harms males. Here we see boys having their genitals mutilated through religious and allegedly cultural practice, in ways that cause serious infections placing at risk these boys’ lives, fertility and ability to enjoy […]

What do you call organizations you are terrified of?

Thu 22nd January 2015:

What is the difference between IRD and ISIS? Both terrorize non-custodial parents. One kills quickly, while the other kills you slowly over time.

First Woman On The Moon

Should we adopt a difference approach for 2015 and throw some humour into the fight against Feminism?

The Island With Bear Grylls – Masculinity in Crisis

Sat 17th January 2015:

Source: Interesting concept for a TV show (and I haven’t seen it) if it does look at changes in masculinity, rather than simply being another survivor series. Has anyone seen it? But this is amusing.

Short News Review

The toothpaste woman escapes with the loot.

Thu 15th January 2015:

I refer back to the first post I made 9 months ago back in may 2014 entitled Toothpaste accomplice. I had omitted in the post the fact that the woman had told me she was six weeks pregnant the week earlier. Months later police called me in to tell me “there is no baby”. So […]

Feminist Psychology

We are all well aware of the more recent involvement of psychologists in demonising men, but wait till you get a load of this. The book ‘Inferiority Feelings’ first published in 1951 and authored by Oliver Brackfeld, translated from French, is online (complete text) in the International library of Psychology The loquacity (talkativeness) which the […]

Gravel Soup

Wed 14th January 2015:

It’s an expression I’d not heard before and I went looking for an explanation on the net and came across this. The concept of gravel soup is a soup from left over’s – a bit of anything and everything – that can be added to if not consumed in one day. A bit of a […]

Tue 13th January 2015:

It’s been a long time coming but with the recent changes around reporting restrictions the subject has received considerable media attention in recent months. For those that are interested there is a discussion in progress here on Stuff Nation. Naturally the article is female focused but the comments have attracted some male perspective.

Is it failure?

Sun 11th January 2015:

This is NOT a post about suicide. Japan’s fight to change suicide culture hurt by latest recession “The economy plays a big role,” in the nation’s suicide rate, said Mafumi Usui, a psychology professor at Niigata Seiryo University. That compounds the problem in Japan, because “the notion lingers that taking your own life is something […]

‘Rape Culture’

Sat 10th January 2015:

If you want to be reminded of how extreme and irrational mainstream feminism has become, and of how much our taxes are funding the forces of feminism in demonizing men, you might like to listen to this programme played on National Radio on 7th December 2014 and broadcast again this week. It’s called ‘Rape Culture […]
