Debunking Handbook from Queensland
A very practical presentation, about how to achieve Debunking in the real world, is available from John Cook and Stephan Lewandowsky. They are very careful to warn about the way the debunking is presented and show how jumping straight into the core misinformation can easily reinforce the very “untruths” that you are seeking to expose!

Family court advice sought
Hi, Scuse the long-winded post but I’m basically looking for advice regarding the Family court but quite frankly any advice about my current circumstances would be appreciated. I live in Auckland. My ex-partner of 11 years left home unexpectedly in March 2011 taking our two young children (3 and 7 years old). She said when […]
Family Court review: initial issues for discussion by the Fatherhood Foundation
The feminist Trojan horse in Family Law
Queensland MP George Christensen recently spoke to the Australian Federal House in opposition to plans intended to undo Family Law reforms put in place by the Howard government in 2006. I have never heard a politician so clearly expose the feminist, anti-father agenda. Why don’t we have anyone like this in NZ? But justice and […]

Mother Hazard Father Hazard
Several recent posts have discussed mother hazard / father hazard, for risk of injury or murder. I have pointed out that international abductors presently run about 85% mother / 15% father. Unfortunately, as “judges” tend to publicize cases involving father abductors, the public are being seriously mislead, to believe that the main hazard comes from […]
More Misandry from Simon Power
Simon Power yesterday announced further financial support for those referred to as “victims” in criminal cases. At first glance all seems warm and fuzzy; for example, few would quibble about additional financial support and trauma counselling for “families of victims of serious crimes leading to death”. But a closer look at Power’s support package raises […]
Greg Meads and the Lacking-Sense Sentencing Trust
The Greg Meads murder case was previously discussed on MENZ. It became clear that anyone who attempted to discuss rationally issues around this case would be personally abused, including any discussion of the extent to which provocation should be taken into account at sentencing since it had been removed as a partial defence against a […]
Abuse victim ends years of silence to fight for others
I would personally like to thank Netta Christian for having the guts to speak out at the state service. Nothing has really changed even after 73 years and I would hope that other stories like hers finally come out of the woodwork. People are starting to have a voice and im surprised such a story […]
Family Court shake-up ‘frightening’
There is so much in the news latterly about abuse on our kids and how the Government is meant to be helping with support. But then I read this morning in the online nzherald that The Family Court could be curtailed without compromising justice for vulnerable parties, such as children at risk of abuse or […]

Men Going Their Own Way
More evidence of “Market Failure” in the Marriage Contract market- From Wall Street Journal: Where Have The Good Men Gone? Kay S. Hymowitz argues that too many men in their 20s are living in a new kind of extended adolescence. “nearly seven in 10 25-year-olds were married; by 2000, only one-third had reached that milestone” […]

Sexism in Courts and Media
As I have said before, the frequency with which we see anti-male sexism means there are almost always good current examples handy. Take the following stories that have appeared in the news over the last week or so: The first story was raised on MENZ by Wayne (21/01/11). It deserves fuller analysis and to be […]
Ex-partner trying to provoke foreclosure
I moved out of our joint family home two and a half years ago and my ex hasn’t paid me a penny towards the rent and of course I cannot evict her or force her to pay as half of the house is hers (we are both on the title). She has trespassed me from the property so I cannot use my share. I asked her to pay loans mortgage on the house from what she owes me in rent. She said she is putting my rent aside to ‘bail me out’ with the bank, obviously in her view I am incapable of paying my own loans. I have now received a final demand from the bank. Now my ex refuses to pay saying she had other expenses and she spent the money.

Competently addressing men’s suicide as well as women’s
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, […]
