Feminist Justice System Extends Well Beyond The Family Court

Filed under: General — Ministry of Men's Affairs @ 10:23 am

This was a rare case in which Family Court Judge Peter Callinicos challenged and brought about consequences against a woman for providing dishonest, conflicting claims and evidence in that arena of deceit. There seemed no doubt that the woman said things in Court that contradicted her sworn affidavits and that she lied at various times. The Family Court decided in favour of the ex-husband whom she had accused of all manner of depravity and violence. She was then prosecuted for perjury (something that needs to be done much more often in that den of fabrication), found guilty and sentenced for perjury although that conviction was overturned on appeal (we wonder what gender the Appeal Court judge was in that case…). Now High Court judge Rebecca Ellis has reversed the Family Court judgment on the basis that J Callinicos was wrong to conclude the woman had committed perjury and claimed that J Callinicos teamed up with the ex-husband’s lawyers in order to treat the woman unfairly. OMG, Family Court judges plus ‘lawyer for child’ team up with the woman’s lawyer in a majority of cases! Oh, and the ex-husband’s lawyers shouldn’t have asked probing or pejorative questions of the woman; of course, that’s only ok when done to men, huh?

J Callinicos was not in fact constrained by a robust standard of proof in reaching his determinations, only the ‘balance of probabilities’ standard. When that standard is conveniently (routinely and daily) used in the Family Court to determine that unsupported allegations by women against men are factual, that’s all good and the relevant judge is quite within his/her rights to do that. But when the same standard is a applied in a way that finds against a female litigant’s preference, a female High Court judge decides to condemn it after applying to the matter quite a different standard of proof.

While we would like to see the standard of proof improved for Family Court, the current rules still pertain at present and we don’t like to see this hypocrisy. We hope J Rebecca Ellis’ handiwork is challenged in another higher Court. For example, there would need to be robust evidence that J Callinicos ‘teamed up’ with the ex-husband’s lawyers. Is this a case of the women in our system teaming up when Family Court decisions don’t suit their sisterhood?

Lawyer: if you have a penis, then you will lose in Family Court

Filed under: Law & Courts — JohnPotter @ 8:24 pm

First published NZ Herald, 22 November 2023
By Jeremy Wilkinson

Lawyer’s comments about judge land him before tribunal

A lawyer called a judge an “ignorant woman” in a 10-page memorandum filed to the Family Court and referred to it as a “vagina court” during a custody battle with his ex-wife.

The man has also accused the opposing counsel of committing perjury, defrauding the legal aid system, and said its employees were “feminist staff who had a bone to pick with men”.

This is what you get with non disclosure of evidence.

Filed under: General — Lukenz @ 9:31 am

Andrew Malkinson now aged 57 spent 17 years in prison for a crime he never committed.

– 10 of those years were because he maintained his innocence.
– The police unlawfully destroyed evidence that would have cleared Andrew.
– While assistance chief constable Sara Jackson wrote an apology to Andrew, it contained the following further error. “We are absolutely committed to follow all new lines of enquiry.” Here’s the thing. There is no new line of enquiry, the police had the evidence 17 years ago, but decided not to use or reveal it and then went on to destroy it. When is the trial for the person or people who did that?

3 Men tried to take their own life after false allegations of a sexual nature.

Filed under: General — Lukenz @ 7:43 am

This is a 55-minute video. It is not a documentary. It is a summary of facts and reasons for sentencing by a Judge.

Eleanor Williams aged 22 set out to destroy 3 men’s reputations. It included smashing her own face and body with a hammer she purchased. Williams made claims of being used by gangs for prostitution and had her vagina cut with a knife then raped. The women decided to post many allegations on Facebook.

Many men were interviewed, leaving an indelible stain on their reputations. It included damage to homes by the public, being abused in the street, and not being able to go and shop in town. Social services had received anonymous calls about one of the men claiming he was not fit to look after his own child. He moved house, he was abused by a neighbour, online threats were made.

The Judge said Eleanor Williams shows no signs of remorse.

The men do not think they will ever recover and suffer ongoing local abuse.

3 of the male victims tried to take their own life after false allegations of a sexual nature.

The sentence was 8.5 years, of which half will be served in prison. Had the men been convicted, a life sentence of 20 years.

In Ireland, no such allegation can be public until a guilty verdict has been reached. Why doesn’t NZ have this law?

Russell can no longer have a fair trial

Filed under: General — Lukenz @ 11:31 pm

Right now a fellow man has been accused of multiple rapes in the media. He is rich, he is famous, he is popular. Now his future and wellbeing is in question.

Russell Brand has claimed every single sexual encounter was consensual.

What we have now is an open media trial that allows every single person he as slept with to come forward to make a claim on his wealth.

To start with Russell is likely to face his shows to be taken offline, his income will go to zero or below. He will have to pay a lawyer millions, he will lose friends and possibly family.

Russell can no longer have a fair trial. In Ireland, the laws is no release of the accused name until a guilty verdict has been reached. When is New Zealand going to follow Ireland’s lead?

In It For You

You may recognise the phrase as the Labour Party Election Slogan for 2023.

I thought it an odd phrase when I first heard it and tossed around what it might mean.

Self promotion? Prime minister and Labour leader Chris Hipkins saying, I’m “In it for you”?
Or the Labour Party is it it for you.

How else might you interpret that.

Close the Ministry Of Women’s Affairs

Filed under: General — Downunder @ 9:00 am

Occasionally the collective body of women do disagree.

A policy to close the Ministry of Women’s Affairs is being driven by the ACT Party.

That being so out in the open is firstly a typical feminist, bite back at anything that dares to criticise us, but what we might also be seeing is a realisation in higher society that that the feminist industry has had its day, and now is a damaging waste of money serving no worthwhile purpose in some outdated quest for equality.

The sexual holy war is coming for you

Filed under: Gender Politics — JohnPotter @ 10:17 am

Our therapeutic state smothers the human spirit
BY MATTHEW CRAWFORD
Published at UnHerd 24th July 2023

But in fact, the therapeutic para-state is today staffed disproportionately by women and routinely addresses its expectations to us in gendered terms, sometimes casting dissent from the programme as an expression of toxic masculinity. So it is to be expected that such dissent will likewise make the legitimacy of the male a thematic concern. To paraphrase Trotsky, you may not be interested in a sexual holy war, but the sexual holy war is interested in you.

Daily life is shot through with an ambient pedagogical project that works to create the modern subject, a creature who internalises the social discipline required by the modern state. In one of his choicest formulations, Michel Foucault referred to “the minor civil servants of moral orthopaedics”. They are found in corporate HR, the Office of Student Life in universities, mandatory “Relationships and Sexual Health Education” in schools, lifestyle magazines and countless other sites of adjustment. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 71% of human resources managers are women. In the University of California system, to take one example, 70% of non-academic staff are women, and in American universities generally, the ratio of administrators to faculty has nearly doubled since 1990. Sixty-seven percent of those who hold a journalism degree are women. In psychology, female graduate students outnumber males by about three to one, and have done so for more than a decade. Seventy-seven percent of sociology majors are women, and women have received about two-thirds of all masters degrees since the early Eighties. If the norm-setting, psyche-tending, world-describing, and narrative-generating professions are staffed predominantly by women, does anything follow from this fact?

It does if you grant that there are such things as male norms and female norms, as social psychology indicates there are, and if you further grant that this difference must show up in the flavour of institutional life. Jonathan Haidt says that among women you get “a different kind of conflict. There is a greater emphasis on what someone said which hurt someone else, even if unintentionally. There is a greater tendency to respond to an offence by mobilising social resources to ostracise the alleged offender.” This concern with offence, which tends to maintain social cohesion, also tends to come detached from the question whether the hurtful thing said was true or not.

This introduces an element of arbitrariness, an invitation to caprice. Notice that in this dynamic, a “hurt” may be attributed, a victim identified, as an act of aggression against the putative offender. The great majority of women do not seek power within an institution under the banner of woke activism. But most of those who do seek power in this way are women, Richard Hanania observes. More broadly, due to important asymmetries between male and female modes of conflict, “women’s tears win in the marketplace of ideas”. Such winning often results in the further extension of bureaucratic supervision into realms where harms might be found.

Father Expresses His Opinion About Parenting Order

Filed under: General — Ministry of Men's Affairs @ 11:03 am

This father’s expression of remorse following his act of martyrdom was sensible given he was looking down the barrel of a long prison sentence. It’s a shame though that so many people cave in to bullying and abandon their ethical positions by later agreeing they were wrong.

Of course, we would never encourage the use of violence against our violent, child-abusing, male-denigrating state.

Interesting that some favoured groups in the Woke era are able to break the law with impunity, such as by trespassing on (‘occupying’) other people’s property for extended time periods. Yet when a father tries to protect his child and his bonding with that child he no longer even has the partial defence of provocation available to him legally and he is treated as though he had no ethical basis to his acts of resistance.

If I were the deep state this is what I would do to fathers and children worldwide if I wanted less of them.

Filed under: General — Lukenz @ 11:52 am

If I were the deep state and I wanted to reduce population from 9 billion to 1 billion, I would destroy families and allow gangs to flourish. I would even pay the gangs to exist on that income without having to resort to crime for money.

If I were the deep state, I would take away children from their fathers, destroy their relationships so children wouldn’t have a dad to turn to.

If I were the deep state, I would create a law to allow women to apply without notice to the courts to steal property from men and give it to their former wife and girlfriends after 24 – 36 months of relationship.

If I were the deep state, I would allow IRD to fine men if they could not pay for child support and use that money for something else other than their family.

If I were the deep state, I would cause suicide (now called mental health) in men. I would withhold the statistics for years and never answer questions regarding the imbalance or stop it.

If I were the deep state, I would jail men for 3 times longer than a woman or no cage time at all.

If I were the deep state, I would take away guns from the law-abiding people but not the gangs.

If I were the deep state, I would create a separate and closed court for police with a single judge.

If I were the deep state, and I wanted less families and population I would make laws to destroy men so they do not have children.

If I were the deep state, I would allow false sex accusations from women, pay them huge sums of money for their statement and virtually never prosecute if it was false.

If I were the deep state and I wanted to know and take full control over what people spend their money on. I would take away cash and make all transaction electronic. I would regulate how much they could spend, who they traded with and what I will immediately take from the transaction.

If I were the deep state, I would place a near field I/d and tracker inside everyone’s hand.

If I were the deep state, I would make a one would Government that no one voted for.

I am sure you can think of other things I could do if I were the deep state.

Marxism – The seizure and the means to control another mans production.

Filed under: General — Lukenz @ 11:03 pm

OK so let’s talk about some of the nonsense the working men have to put up with, who is behind it and where is all leading, has lead.

Dr James Lindsay said Woke is the new name for Marxism. The seizure and the means to control another mans production.

He said the working class is no longer going to be the base of the revolution. In other words, we don’t have to be responsible to the working class any more. Said that the energy is somewhere else. It is in the racial minorities, the sexual minorities the feminists, the outsiders. That’s who has the energy for a revolution. In other words, we don’t have to be responsible to the working class any more.

Do you feel it’s right your house and belongings are 50% owned by your girlfriend after 3 years or less, just because she shared your bed for 4 days a week? 100% owned if there is a without application to the family court until the kids turn 19, and they’re not even your kids! The feminists are a minority.

Here is another example explained by an ex Judge. Do you think it right one race of people own and control fresh water, waste water, the ocean, the fish, steam? I seem to recall the men dug those trenches, installed, maintained the pipes, plant and pumps. The taxpayer and not one race paid for it.

The Leighton Smith – Former Judge Podcast – A must-hear

How about the health system reform? Another minority having the say.

Maori Health Authority

Finally, how about the minority of people who arranged this nonsense in our schools?

All minorities in society. Those who don’t pay or work for it. Woke is the new name for Marxism. The seizure and the means to control another mans production.

There should be a law for all political parties. If you didn’t campaign on it, you have to ask the people. i.e. no hidden agendas.

Prostate Update

WATCH NOW

A World Renown Prostate Expert at the Harvard Medical Center has discovered a “Zero-Gravity Hack” that Astronauts use at NASA that can help men relieve prostate problems.

Frustrating I’m sure, if you hit the play button and found it was a picture. Not recently but I have clicked into a couple of these links but never got to the end of one which have been endless waffle about what they are about to say.

The frequency of these advertisements has increased, possibly because the internet knows my age but otherwise it’s not something I search or show any current interest in.

Quite the opposite, I’m getting annoyed by the quantity of these prostate promotions.

I’m aware the thinking was evolving about 6 yesrs back and I haven’t kept up to date with the changes.

Woman Who Pretended To Be A Man Dies By Assisted Suicide After Realising How Difficult It Was To Be One

Journalist Norah Vincent and author of Self Made Man wanted to experience life as the opposite gender so she could write about it.

Male privilege in the modern era is a myth. In 2020, it was found that 70% of homeless individuals were men. Men are four times more likely to commit suicide than women. Men make up 80% of all murder victims worldwide. Men make up just over half of the workforce, and yet they make up 90% of all workplace fatalities.

53 Year old Norah Vincent ended her life by assisted suicide after realising how difficult it was to be one.
