Shared parenting – Do you think children have a right to a relationship with both mum and dad?

Fri 12th February 2010:

Lately I have been receiving e-mails from mothers introducing themselves as being in a shared parenting arrangement. It is nice for me to hear this because after 2/3 generations not very good at sharing, we have a new generation mediating between each other well. I am worried though, because I have been to a radical […]

Are women children?

Thu 4th February 2010:

The courts (and feminists themselves) operate on the principal that women are children. If there is something favourable about being an adult then it is the woman’s human right to have it. However when it comes to responsibility and consequences then women will be treated as a child. For example in Britain a man who […]

Should I get married?

Wed 3rd February 2010:

I am young enough to be a father but too old to rebuild all my life after divorce again. I still want to be an involved father more than anything in the world. Until just recently I thought this meant I needed to get married again. However the dates I have had recently have caused […]

Acting like a MAN???

Fri 22nd January 2010:

Is the mother in the article Shock at ‘subjecting children to unimaginable and horrific living conditions ‘acting outside her normal gender role??? Is this possible?? If so then males must be capable of it as well. This then makes it a non gender issue…period. James Cameron, when writing AVATAR, portrayed a society on planet PANDORA […]

The Tide Is Turning

Thu 21st January 2010:

Here’s an interesting article from Carey Roberts, a US “commentator on political correctness”. He describes how the Democrat (Obama’s) candidate lost the recent Massachusetts senate election because she previously discriminated against a male and tried to keep him, but not females convicted of the same offences, in prison for sexual convictions based on ridiculous evidence, […]

Men banned to sit next to children on airline flights

Sat 16th January 2010:

In 2005 airlines such as Air New Zealand and Qantas were found to have a policy that children and teenagers who are unaccompanied by parents or caregivers cannot sit next to men. Air New Zealand spokesman David Jamieson said the company had no intention of reviewing the policy and admitted that it had been in […]

Inland Revenue Child Support Audit

Fri 15th January 2010:

The Office of the Auditor-General is at the early stages of a performance audit of how well Inland Revenue manages child support debt. They are looking to get the views of people interacting with IRD about child support. I wouldn’t be surprised if the agenda is to find ways to collect money but it can […]

New Zealand media presents the news differently

Thu 14th January 2010:

Firstly let me say that my thoughts are with the Haiti people. Such a scenario could easily happen here. Not only that but men always come off worse in such disasters. So there are 2 reasons beyond basic humanity for caring about Haiti. My post is not actually about Haiti or earthquakes. It is more […]

Woman sells 2yr old for gun.

A woman in the USA tried to sell her 2 yr old child in exchange for a gun. “Nareau allegedly told the man that he would do a better job raising the child than she would — and that she couldn’t buy a gun because she was prohibited by law to buy one.” I guess […]

Lobbying about parental issues in NZ

Tue 12th January 2010:

I haven’t been able to find any good descriptions of lobbying caughts, through appealing undesired judgements. If you know of some, please draw our attention to them. There are many good examples of mothers and fathers lobbying the caughts, by challenging judgements through appeal. When done with a constructive strategy, then success can result. Google: […]

Action Regarding Parental Alienation

Fri 8th January 2010:

Those who have experience or knowledge of Parental Alienation (PA) can do something that might cause this condition to be taken more seriously. The American Psychiatric Association is working on the next edition of the DSM, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. This is the leading psychiatric diagnostic classification system used in many […]

Bail criteria

I was just wondering how common it is for a man who has been arrested for murder to be immediately released on bail to stay with friends and not have to report in until trial? Woman-faces-murder-charge

Sun 27th December 2009:

Well, my prediction has come true (See //menz.org.nz/2009/peter-dunne’s-christmas-present/) Child support is to get a shake-up in the New Year after revelations eligible parents owe more than $1.7 billion in payment Have a read of the full text of this article and start planning what ACTION you are committed to make child tax reform an issue […]

‘Invisible children’ warning

Wed 16th December 2009:

You who have been removed by the Family Court from the sight of your children read the article below and see if you can identify some parallels. The report said: “Many of the children have emotional problems, which appear to get worse, not better, over time. A small number are walking powder kegs badly in […]

Peter Dunne’s Christmas Present

Tue 8th December 2009:

While The Minister for Child Tax, Peter Dunne, plays an elf in the Johnsonville Christmas Parade I wonder what his Christmas present for those afflicted by Child Tax will be? Consider this; if the changes the oligarchy of officials proposes for tinkering with the current Child Tax legislation are to be implemented in 2010 Dunne […]

March for Democracy

Sun 22nd November 2009:

An estimated crowd of more than 4000 packed Auckland’s Queen St yesterday to protest against the Government’s refusal to back a citizen-initiated referenda over the so-called anti-smacking law where 87% of people’s vote was ignored by the government. It was a great atmosphere with drummers, parents with children, and placards. Colin Craig, who funded the […]

Showing Your own Documents to your McKenzie Friend?

Sat 21st November 2009:

Does Self Represented Litigant Need Judge’s Permission to show his own documents to his McKenzie Friend? In England, the familycaught is quite a lot more formal and restrictive on allowing families to solve problems at a reasonable cost. Most UK lawyers milk their clients much harder than most NZ lawyers. Some NZ lawyers equal the […]

Battered husband who snapped

Journalist AN MUNRO over at stuff.co.nz has written an very sad and detailed article about Anthony Sherna killing his partner after suffering years of abuse and being sentenced to 14 years in jail. For almost 20 years he submitted in order to keep the peace. When she demanded he change his surname to prove he […]

The sad ignorance of some comments

Fri 20th November 2009:

I wrote a post about the UK men’s movement and how men (mostly young men) are speaking up and starting to ask for rights. Men never had any rights. They were also oppressed in society as women were and the gender roles did them no more favours than it did women. They are not asking […]

The rape industry claims another victim – Kevin Driscoll’s story

There’s an interesting rape case being followed on the Internet. It involves an alleged rapist named Kevin Driscoll and an alleged rape victim named Melissa Leahy-Rossow. It’s a very sad reality that many, many young men go through while the rape industry continuously pushes for males to have harsher treatment and women to have lighter […]

Dennis’s In Bed Story -The Sex Tape

This is a sponsored post. I can’t quite figure out why their client is prepared to pay for this, or even what we are being “sold” – perhaps the message is just too subtle for me? Anyway, it seems harmless, and contributions to hosting costs for MENZ are always welcome.

Men’s movement in the UK

Thu 19th November 2009:

UK males are speaking up well on the biased treatment through feminists and their supporters. They have become such a loud voice that the media has been attacked persistently and consistently by large numbers of them, forcing the media to open ‘Pandora’s box’ and speak up about the abuse males receive from females. The greatest […]

Father’s Support Groups

Tue 17th November 2009:

Often groups are asked by fathers if there are father’s supports groups they can be referred to. I thought I would make a list of what is available online and offline and will add as I find more. I needed to find one myself for the Nelson area and came across DIY’s list and have […]
