Flexible working roles for men

Wed 11th September 2013:

Yes, here we have it guys, it’s definitely in the bottom line of this article. “Leadership talent is in short supply in New Zealand and globally. Yet at every successive management level significant proportions of talented women drop out or their career stalls. This is the leaking talent pipeline,” it says. Who are the authors […]

Cold comfort for the working man.

Mon 9th September 2013:

United Future’s flexible government-superannuation proposal is typical of Dunne’s on-going lack of respect for New Zealand men. National has been in no hurry to confront what others are calling an essential issue with John Key telling us that the retirement age won’t be raised from 65 while he is prime minister. That may suggest that […]

Get your fat off.

Thu 5th September 2013:

It has recently been declared that New Zealand women’s biggest health issue is obesity, which now comes in ahead of well canvassed issues such as breast cancer and the affects of cigarette smoking. The difficulty, that men in particular face, is that the subject is often seen as a taboo area of discussion between any […]

Rough Justice

I post this clip BBC NEWS to illustrate the danger that men encounter when bad things happen to their female partners. Two good men have lost a good proportion of their lives due to a Police witch hunt after Barrie White’s girl friend, Rachel Manning, 19, was murdered. Kieth Hyatts interview is very sad indeed. […]

We’ve come for your children, we must take all four!

Sun 1st September 2013:

That terrible night, the four children slept “Social Service” were coming, their mother just wept! Two burly strangers soon broke down the door, We’ve come for your children, we must take all four! The “Social worker” told you “keep perfectly calm” Your kids are at risk of suffering harm! So struggling and kicking and screaming […]

Men’s Concerns are Gaining Traction

There is increasing evidence that men speaking up are gaining a little traction. The Labour Party leadership’s rapid retreat from the ‘man-ban’, sexist exclusion of men from electorates (that can only be described as a misandrist corruption of democracy) was one example. We believe that 2, or 5 or 10 years ago no male Labour […]

UK dads

Sat 31st August 2013:

Below link is an interesting look at last nights UK ITV’s ‘fatherless children’ program.The attitude toward fathers of society in general is expressed succinctly in the first few minutes by Zirene, a mother of Manchester, where in total ignorance and narcissism states that her absent children’s father is missing out, not the kids because “they […]

GPS monitoring of protection-order respondents

Fri 30th August 2013:

FYI, our letter to Hon Anne Tolley regarding her Radio NZ interview on 16 May 2013, that can be heard here. It’s incredible how complacent kiwis are about government removal of civil rights and fair treatment. We believe western governments including New Zealand are preparing for major repression of their populations and are awarding themselves […]

Radio NZ piece on Infanticide

FYI, our email to the ‘Nine to Noon’ programme on National Radio, Radio NZ concerning its piece on Infanticide this morning (you can hear it here): Dear Nine to Noon Infanticide is one of our laws that remains blatantly sexist, that treats offending by a woman as somehow more acceptable than the same offending by […]

Correct thinking by Muriel Newman

Wed 31st July 2013:

Article on NZCPR Weekly By Dr Muriel Newman: Compehensive welfare reforms now underway Over the years our welfare rolls burgeoned – especially once the stand-alone Domestic Purposes Benefit was introduced in the early seventies. Pushed by feminists as a way of enabling women to raise their children independent from men, the DPB incentivised family breakdown […]

Letter to Judge Boshier, White Ribbon Campaign

Sat 27th July 2013:

FYI, our recent letter. Note also that the White Ribbon Campaign maintains a block on correspondence from people it doesn’t like to hear from. It soon blocks anyone who expresses criticism or concern about the campaign.

Characteristics of Children Raised in Biological Family vs Other Arrangements

Fri 26th July 2013:

Actually this table is derived, otherwise accurately, from a study that compared children who grew up in a ‘Mom and Dad’ family with children whose mother had a sexual relationship with another woman in various family arrangements, rather than having ‘Two Moms’ . But it’s still possibly a bit interesting.

Madness or is it just me

Sun 21st July 2013:

Am I mad? Umm just wanting to check my sanity. Associate Professor of Law at Auckland University Ms Julia Tolmie surely must be sane.

Hi All, I’m not sure how unique my situation is, but feel compelled to share my experience with others out there….and I know that this will strike a chord with some.

False rape claim to get lift home from strip show

Tue 25th June 2013:

Gentlemen and most ladies, Do you ever think there will be a time where society will acknowledge that laying a false rape complaint against a man will be considered equal too if not more than damaging to the man as rape would be?
