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, […]

What can you do if what she says are lies ?

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, Labour Party Defence Spokesman yesterday showed how well he was trained in misandry under Helen Clark’s tutorship.

Here is an excerpt […]

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.

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 […]

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.

Fom the ODT More than 1250 submissions on the review of child support have already been made ahead of the October 29 deadline.

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

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 […]

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?

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

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 […]

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 […]

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.

Many of you who read this will be fathers and you will be spending some or all of fathers’ day with your children. This is a day to celebrate your role, a role that all too often is not only overlooked and underestimated, but undermined and maligned. This is a day for all of you […]

Dr Janet Fanslow at University of Auckland’s medical school has again been given extensive publicity for ongoing findings in her study on violence against women in NZ, e.g. 1. “Ten per cent of pregnant women victims of violence” NZ Herald 13/08/2008 2. “We all need to be aware of how to protect our country’s young” […]

I just caught a glimpse of the advance news summary on TV3. There was a shot of Peter Dunne taking a seat in front of microphones, a fat report in his hand and the commentary ‘the big plan for child support and how it affects you’ (or something like that). This could be the plan […]

Felicity, my family and I feature prominently in the Sunday Star-Times today. On the bottom of front page: “Academic with links to sex abusers silent on role in drafting ACC rules“ Special Investigation, section C: “Conflicting interests?” The central message of these two stories; that Felicity was influential in the recent changes to ACC payments […]

While this is Austrailian I suspect that similar happens here. Fathers ‘stereotyped’ by Child Support Agency Paul Bibby WORKPLACE August 26, 2010 THE government watchdog responsible for overseeing child support payments has been unfairly focusing on parents who do not pay enough while ignoring those who are getting too much, the Commonwealth Ombudsman says. In […]

There has been a lot of debate recently on MENZ regarding the approach to solving the issues fathers/men face. A lot of it extremely negative and divisive.

Part 5 (continued from Part 4, Wed. 30th June 2010) (Like previously this story is not about the malicious mother (syndrome) since that is something I can’t do anything about. This post/story is part of exposing and dealing with the corruption of […]
