Does Respect Deliver Dividends?

Mon 10th May 2010:

I have enjoyed watching MENZ recently become more positively oriented and a big drop in destructive criticism. I value this greatly, as the destructive fights that have occurred deter many knowledgeable people from taking part in debates and offering their experience. Purely destructive fights also tend to devalue the material on this site, to casual […]

Was she even charged?

Sun 9th May 2010:

This woman turned a man’s life upside down with her false rape complaint. A truely hideoous crime in our society. Predictably the news paper report critises the victim for being unwilling to face his tormentor. At no point are we even told that the criminal was even charged with anything let alone sentanced. Then there […]

The law

Some people think that: – Citizens should not be torn from their homes and children in the middle of the night based on nothing more than hearsay. – Men and women should not be presumed guilty until they can prove their innocence. – A secret tribunal should not have the power to force a man […]

NZ ranks 6th.

According to this source, New Zealand has the 6th highest divorce rate in the world. In several countries the overall numbers of divorces are slightly reducing just recently. However this is primarily because the number of marriages are reducing. At the same time the amount of traffic on the internet shows that men are discussing […]

Child support and the Key Cabinet (Act 1)

Mon 3rd May 2010:

Peter Dunne advises:  “I can tell you that substantial work has recently been undertaken on aspects of the child support system, such as considering the income of both parents and the costs of raising children in New Zealand.  However, Cabinet for the time being has decided to defer further consideration of the issues. In light […]

Single fathers raising daughters

Sat 1st May 2010:

Single fathers are discriminated against in many ways. However from my own expereince fathers raising daughters get it worse. Often this is subtle but it is felt by single fathers. This is a tradegy because a single father raising a daughter needs the most support from the community of any family. There is a greater […]

Dads Pay More Under Aussie Changes

MOST single mothers are better off after the Howard government overhauled the child support system, although nearly 7000 have been left out of pocket by up to $60 a week. The Rudd government yesterday released two reports on the child support changes. When they were introduced in July 2008, it was thought most divorced fathers […]

The dirty secret of sex slavery.

Fri 30th April 2010:

Feminism and the refuge industry will have you believe the sex industry is awash with exploited girls forced into the sex trade against their will. The dirty secret is that (at lest in the UK) it doesn’t exist. It is a myth. This is so extremely rare to be inconsequential even though there are thousands […]

Institutionalized Favouritism Towards Female Offender

Day after day our news media report blatant examples of denigration, disrespect, disenfranchisement and neglect towards men and institutionalized favouritism towards women, but here’s one that deserves some kind of prize.

Children’s inheritance dilemma

Thu 29th April 2010:

I have shared care and guardianship of my two children. They have been left a substantial amount of money by my ex-partner’s grandmother (their Great-Grandmother) which will set them up for life. I have only learnt about this by accident from a 3rd party. My ex-partner is taking my children to court to take their […]

Surrogacy

Tue 27th April 2010:

I think most people on this site believe a child needs a mother and a father. I also believe this to be true. These days it is possible for a single man to have a child by surrogacy. That is his sperm, a donor egg from woman 1, a surrogate woman to give birth. The […]

The following pages keeps being deleted from Wikipedia by feminsts.

Marriage strike A ‘marriage strike’ is the social phenomenon of men seeking to avoid marriage. The ‘marriage strike’ specifically refers to the action of men living within the Western world. Advocates of the marriage strike believe that after a considered cost-benefit analysis, the legal contract that is modern marriage no longer represents an attractive option […]

The Mental Health and Parenting Practices of Recently Separated Parents Survey

Approximately one half of committed relationships (marriage or de facto) result in separation — that’s a lot of separated adults. Between August 2007 and July 2008, the Family Court in New Zealand granted 10,000 divorces — and that doesn’t account for all of the de facto relationships that ended during that time. The breakup of […]

What Women Need to Know about Men.

Thu 22nd April 2010:

Given the huge amount of time and words women spend discussing relationships I find it rather surprising how little the majority of women understand about men. Here is an article titled What Women Need to Know about Men.

More vengence from an ex partner?

Mon 19th April 2010:

Two Rotorua women broke into a man’s house, burgled him and then black mailed him. One of them is a midwife. If she is found guilty it is my opinion she should be banned from midwifery or any medical profession. However I doubt there is any mechanism for this ban to occur. Imagine the out […]

Jail for sex outside marriage?

A woman in Dubai is alleging rape. Consider the following law in a rational and objective manner. It occurs to me that the Dubai laws are in fact more just than our system. Although when I say that I assume that the judge has the option to rule that he can’t confirm either person’s version […]

Male teachers should have insurance benefit.

Male teachers should be give an extra benefit paid by the government. That is an insurance fund to pay the legal costs in any abuse allegation plus compensation for the stress and impact on their career. I have no idea if the current case is valid or not. For all I know this guy may […]
