Lockdown Distress

Filed under: General — Downunder @ 8:48 am

I see media from Australian sources about the pressure on their helplines with the current Delta outbreak.

I assume at this time, especially with the Lockdown extensions announced yesterday we will have a similar situation in New Zealand.

If you’ve found this site for some reason what has brought you here?

A family court case disrupted by the lockdown perhaps? Maybe other reasons?

Hate Speech Law NZ – Coming your way soon.

Filed under: General — Lukenz @ 9:20 am

Three years in prison. Left wondering if we would still be able to openly post on this site should the bill become law.

Will I no longer be able to hate the haters of men and boys human rights?

Is Feminism a Hate Group?

Filed under: General — Lukenz @ 10:37 am

This video clip labels feminism as a hate group. It compares white America 60 years ago.
Its not about what they feel and think, it’s about what they do.

1. Advocates lesser rights in law for the target group.
2. Propagates discrimination against the target group.
3. Teaches that the target group is inherently inferior.
4. Teaches that the target group is a threat.
5. Use lies including historical revisionism to spread these views.
6. Tolerates violence towards the target group.

If you change the words “Target Group” to men, boys or fathers. The picture becomes easier to see.

1. Advocates lesser rights in law for men, boys or fathers.
2. Propagates discrimination against men, boys or fathers.
3. Teaches that the men, boys or fathers are inherently inferior.
4. Teaches that the men, boys or fathers are a threat.
5. Use lies, including historical revisionism to spread these views.
6. Tolerates violence towards men, boys or fathers.

There are moves to punish hate speech. But in my view it is more than hate speech. It has to be hate actions and hate laws. Discrimination against men, fathers and boys.

The Future of Families

Filed under: General — Lukenz @ 7:59 pm

Near 5000 comments on YouTube on this short video. Just awful outcomes for men and fathers.

The careless attitude towards men and fathers is leading to a future that women will find uncertain, isolated, expensive and unrewarding.

Independent Panel’s Final Report on New Zealand Family Justice System Released

Filed under: General — Lukenz @ 9:56 am


The selected committee video found and posted by Erasingdad. – Thank You.

Family Justice Final Report PDF

I have not had much time to read this, but I do know the terms “without notice application” features 66 times. And that process has been used to stop or limit dads child contact.

While there is mention of the length of time, one being over three years, there is no mention of alienation. Which, that along with having an order for dwelling and all the things in it vested into one parent, is the true reason why without notice applications are applied for.

In more simple terms,

1. “the destruction of a dads relationship with his child.”
2. “the kicking out of his home”
3. “the taking away of all the items in that home”

Where do fathers and men go, what are they supposed to do when this happens to them?

According to the Nurit Thesis, this causes male suicide.

Nurit Zubery wrote a thesis on the impacts of men during and after divorce.

Your comments please.

Former Female Police Officer Says up to 75% of Woman Allegations of Domestic Violence are False.

Filed under: General — Lukenz @ 8:59 pm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzs-lFuNluw

Former frontline Police Officer Evelyn Rae, 12 years of service, tells all in a recent interview with Bettina Arndt.

Says 75% of woman allegations of domestic violence are false.

Says in all her years can honestly say just 3 legitimate cases of sexual assault, everything else was false allegation or no evidence. Says this is the hard truth.

Says Police can’t stand the system.

The Brotherhood of Men

Filed under: General — Downunder @ 12:36 pm

The success of any nation is in the unity of its men, the support of its women, and the morality of its laws.

Without the brotherhood of men, we risk not fulfilling our duty to those significant values that we have learned underpin the ideological basis and success, not only of a sovereign nation but of any global civilisation we might hope for.

We should not (more…)

PM Jacinda Adern on Human Rights For All – Except No Mention For Dads, Men & Boys

Filed under: General — Lukenz @ 5:26 am

PM on Human Right – Except for Men & Boys

Ever wondered why you lost half your home, and all the items in it to a part-time girlfriend? Perhaps you lost the right to see your children? Maybe a huge weekly payment on top of that. Look no further than the idealogical people who get to decide how much to take away from you.

Maybe it was the Presumption of Guilt link Mr John Potter highlighted here. Presumption of Guilt: Rule of Law Conference 2021

That Jacinda Adern on human rights for all speech did not include or give one iota of a mention towards men or boys.

Mothers protect your son’s wellbeing from this woman who has no intention to make his life safe or better.

In my view the Labour party’s approach to dad and male suicide is educate them before they reach their limit of brutality. Before they are pushed too far. What is wrong with “don’t be brutal to men and dads in the first place.”

I don’t know if the other parties are better for dads and men, but it is clear to me this party is not.

All these things that lead to male suicide are detailed in an open letter to the Humans Rights Commission by Mr Iain Fergusson.

Open letter to the Human Rights Commission

What I would really like to see is an open letter to all the political parties to detail their plan to reduce the brutality on dads, men and boys.

The Dating Game

Filed under: General — Downunder @ 11:57 pm

History dictates that when civilization falls apart older men marry younger women.

We see that in biblical history and in the history of Rome.

In the current age I’ve recently seen adds saying Asian women like older men.

What’s that about?

If you’re currently in the dating game, how’s it going for you?

Faafoi – feedback wanted

Filed under: General — Downunder @ 12:42 pm

Justice-Minister, Kris Faafoi is in the firing line with parents rights groups over the latest invasion of the family by state legislation.

https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/GE2107/S00167/parents-banned-from-stopping-puberty-blockers-for-children-minister-of-justice.htm

Family First NZ says that if parents aren’t concerned about the conversion therapy bill introduced by the Government today, all they need to do is listen to the Minister of Justice explain the effect of the bill, and parents will quickly become very fearful.

My open letter to the Human Rights Commission

Filed under: General — Iain Fergusson @ 3:38 pm

I’ve written an open letter to the Human Rights Commission asking for them to explicitly protect men’s human rights. It’s rather long. You can read it here: genderbalancing.wordpress.com/2021/05/20/open-letter-to-the-new-zealand-human-rights-commission/

Woman Pours Raw Petrol Over Her Husband – Lights Him Up – Receives Plea Deal

Filed under: General — Lukenz @ 11:07 am

News Link Here

Daily Mail Link here

It does not matter if it was a can of petrol or a gun. Angela Surtees executed this man.

The sentence is still not released, but I suspect it will just be time already served.

What I found interesting is 2 links on the first news story to Mens help lines.

One is Mens referral service and the other Mensline. Are we entering a new era?

14 Men talk about the devastation of divorce

Filed under: General — Lukenz @ 4:51 am

There is a misconception women are more heartbroken after divorce than men. The truth is the complete opposite.

Quote 10
“Emotionally, it was horrible. I lost not only my wife, I lost my lover, my best friend, my teammate, and my ‘family.’ To me, divorce just was never an option, until it happened. I felt lost. I had lost the one person who I felt I was allowed to confide in.”

An Acceptance of Failure

Filed under: General — Downunder @ 11:09 am

“An Acceptance of Failure”

That is often how the comment reads. It doesn’t matter what the post was about, there is a embodied response that suggests the situation is terminal – like it was the last thing you read before the plane crashed on take off – done often enough though it is a habitual response for some people and self-imposed negativity that one imagines is difficult to escape from. 

Even though it’s a different (more…)

Weaponizing our criminal justice system against men

Filed under: Law & Courts,Sex Abuse / CYF — JohnPotter @ 9:40 am

Bettina Arndt’s latest newsletter reports on a presentation by prominent Sydney barrister Margaret Cunneen. She was speaking at The Presumption of Guilt Conference run by the Rule of Law Education Centre in Australia.

Her online presentation focussed on the impact of the new sexual consent laws that Attorney General Mark Speakman aims to ram through NSW Parliament. Speakman appointed the NSW Law Reform Commission to examine proposed changes to these laws but then ignored their warnings about the injustice that could result and proudly announced he is giving the feminists what they want

Feminist academics have been lobbying for years for a ‘’yes means yes’’ affirmative consent model where enthusiastic consent must be given at every stage throughout the sexual encounter. Under the new laws an accused would have to prove to have taken active steps to ascertain consent throughout the sexual proceedings. And as Cunneen pointed out, this would render most of the sex most of us have as potentially illegal.

Surviving a Sexual Prosecution in 21st Century Salem

Filed under: Law & Courts — JohnPotter @ 9:29 am

Criminal defence lawyer Samira Taghavi has published an article on The Daily Blog, outlining the concerns about the proposed Sexual Violence Bill felt by many in the legal profession. She writes:

Lawyer Samira Taghavi

Instead of respect for science, common sense and the presumption of innocence, we are in an unhappy age of Salem witch-trial-style hysteria that has now given us the Sexual Violence Bill. There are numerous very ugly consequences that will flow from the bill and while conviction and imprisonment on a false allegation is of course the worst outcome – and an outcome this bill will multiply – another collection of indignities has not received focus, being life as an accused person prior to and during the trial process. Indeed, even if acquitted, men can still expect to have survived their prosecutions at an often-crippling price.

The Killing Of “i”

Filed under: General — Downunder @ 9:25 am

Identity is something I’ve mentioned before but I’m not sure we’ve had an in depth discussion about the subject on MENZ.

We’re not born with identity, it’s something that is given to us, but I’m referring to more than just how we are identified and more to the content of that identity, which is us, which is our ‘I’.

The acknowledgement and preservation of identity appears to be (more…)

New Family Court (Supporting Children in Court) Legislation Bill – Now only one reading away from becoming law.

Filed under: General,Law & Courts — Lukenz @ 6:27 am

In a lot of cases children who want to see dad, they will have their say. That being said, lets get down to the real world. The worlds most cunning animal is the human. To head the above scenario off, a woman need only alienate the child before lawyer for child gets to interview the child.

In my view, if a child has been alienated by one parent, the child need only repeat what they hear from that parent and the other parent won’t be seeing that child anytime soon. No prize for guessing which gender does the alienation.

Where is the legislation to outlaw and call alienation violence? (more…)
