Critics warn on pregnant mother alerts re abuse

Sun 12th December 2010:

Whilst the public debate about child abuse in NZ has been somewhat distracted by deaths and horrific injuries to a very small number of children, the overall social vandalism of larger numbers of children is perhaps more disabling, in the territory of emotional neglect. Although emotional neglect leaves no bruises or broken bones and a […]

More Misandrist Justice

Sat 11th December 2010:

A couple of interesting recent Court examples of minimization of women’s offending. Firstly, associated with the Murapara gangster murder of a teenager four additional people, three men and one woman were convicted of participating in a criminal group.

Breach of justice as a Suicide Trigger

Mon 6th December 2010:

Breach of justice as a Suicide Trigger Please note that I am using justice in the sense of police investigation plus caught hearings. Betrayal of trust can also be seen as being your own worst enemy, by misplacing your trust. Be streetwise! Massive miscarriage of justice By Louise Shorter, from insidetime issue November 2010 Legal […]

Survey on “Prenuptual” Agreements

Sun 5th December 2010:

I am conducting a survey on use and experience of “prenuptual” or relationship property agreements. I would be grateful if you could complete the survey and also if you would pass on the link to other people or groups so that I can get a meaningful sample. I welcome any comments about the survey itself, […]

Should gender studies be scrapped?

Thu 2nd December 2010:

I went back to school as an adult student to study business, with an accounting major in the hope of starting my own business a number of years back. While studying the last papers I phoned my tutor and said I was disappointed because I felt the amount of compulsory social papers took up time […]

Pike River Mine Disaster

Tue 23rd November 2010:

Although a minority of news reports use the term “men” to refer to the miners, I have not come across one discussion of men’s roles in maintaining the infrastructure of our privileged lifestyle, or the fact that men have always comprised very close to 100% of workplace deaths in NZ. Today I sent the following […]

Cutting access to jury trials

Sun 21st November 2010:

Simon Power has tried to cultivate an image of being an active Minister of Justice. Jury trials ruled out for smacking He is in stark contrast to previous Ministers of Justice, such as Phil-(Peter Ellis)-Goff (who was inconsequential and seemed to follow official’s advice and contribute no initiatives himself) and The-Right-Honourable-Douglas-Graham [legal-worker] (who introduced the […]

Requesting “judges” to follow existing laws?

Trust in “judges” The USA Government provides lowest tolerable level benefits for returning war veterans. Although these “benefits” are provided, to pay for ongoing more essential and basic medical needs for the war damaged veteran, wives who Ex-ed after they became aware of the degree of damage, have been awarded half of the veteran benefit, […]

Competently addressing men’s suicide as well as women’s

Sat 20th November 2010:

I and other contributors on MENZ have criticised NZ suicide researchers for showing relatively scant interest or care in younger middle aged men’s suicides, particularly if not coloured. This criticism seems to apply to all NZ suicide research published in the last 20 years. Although some commentators put this down to callous disregard for men, […]

Protection Order

What can you do if what she says are lies ?

False Memories

Tue 16th November 2010:

The intense scientific and courtroom debates in the 1990’s and early 2000’s, referred to as “the memory wars”, have largely settled now because of the large amount of research demonstrating beyond doubt that, through a variety of simple influences, children and adults can easily develop memories for events that never happened and that existing memories […]

Peter Hodgson’s Misandry

Tue 9th November 2010:

Peter Hodgson, Labour Party Defence Spokesman yesterday showed how well he was trained in misandry under Helen Clark’s tutorship. He was interviewed on National Radio Morning Report about the SAS doing a training day for a group of businessmen in order to raise money for a trust fund helping soldiers’ families. Here is an excerpt […]

Important Radio Broadcast

Our good friend James Williams in the UK has a radio program in Portsmouth, called “Men’s Matters”. Online at expressfm.com His current broadcast is exceptional. Please listen to it via the link above and email your supportive comments to the radio station.

Child Support Act – Accountability Between Parents

Wed 27th October 2010:

The Child Support Act was ostensibly passed into legislation, to try to stem the rapid increase in the cost of the Domestic Purposes benefit (DPB), by trying to pass on this cost to the fathers of the children. Rather than directly address the people making the decisions, that led to the DBP being drawn, the […]

Anti-Feminist Meeting in Switzerland

Mon 25th October 2010:

Around the world men are waking up to the fraud of feminism and a gathering snowball of activism is rolling. This European meeting is supported by conscious men in Sweden, long recognized as a leading cesspit of female privilege and male enslavement. The translation is poor but you will get the picture.

Child support review submissions high

Thu 14th October 2010:

Fom the ODT More than 1250 submissions on the review of child support have already been made ahead of the October 29 deadline. Revenue Minister Peter Dunne said there was a lot of interest in the reform of the child support system. “Contributions received will have a big influence on ensuring that we have a […]

This was in Saturdays DomPost. (Front Page) Police are preparing for a spike in violence if the All Blacks lose next year’s Rugby World Cup.

Sexual Harrassment

I have been in Australia recently and this story has received quite a lot of publicity. What do you thnk?

The father must not criticise the mother

Sun 26th September 2010:

When familycaught personnel utter these words, they are really refusing to look at the parental competence of the mother. Although perhaps well meaning, for many cases where both parents are sufficiently competent in parental skills and mental health, their do-gooder approach completely fails to address the job entrusted to them by Parliament, for a significant […]

An unusual death row case?

Fri 24th September 2010:

Virginia is due to execute a woman, the first in the US state since 1912 and the first anywhere in the country for five years. But why is the execution of a woman such a significant event? Is Teresa Lewis an unusual death row case?

The Head of the Medusa

Tue 21st September 2010:

Of course this is old news…to some…for the rest, it’s time to become aware…so we can kick some ass together…for our children (‘s children…) sake…because that is also part of our responsibility as fathers… http://fathersforlife.org/perseus/overview.htm

Exposure of Prostitution

Sun 12th September 2010:

This article entitled “Why Do (Some) Men Cheat?” seemed worth some comment. In the article, three prostitutes asked customers about their experience of and reasons for using their services. The title of the article was noteworthy to begin with. Putting the “some” in brackets served to imply that it may be not some but all […]

Evidence that women are interested mainly in rich men

Sat 11th September 2010:

I came across this research done on a US dating site called OkCupid. Of particular interest was the graph with the title “How Many Messages a Man Gets, By Age & Income”. The authors sum up the situation: …if you’re a young guy and don’t make much money, cool. If you’re 23 or older and […]

Men are Heros

Tue 7th September 2010:

Hail men! Here’s one who put his life at risk to save his neighbour from a burning house. When such heroic rescues are made, it’s nearly always men who did them and from time to time the man gives his own life in the process.
