Welcome to The Arndt Army, a new community-based section championing Bettina Arndt’s campaign for fair treatment for men and boys.
The Arndt Army is a call to action, led by some of Bettina’s outstanding volunteers, who will take the initiative on key fronts needing attention, such as providing support for men in our legal system, and convincing politicians that men matter too.
Go to Bettina’s recently blog, The Arndt Army, to fill in a survey if you wish to join in this important campaign.
This new section will provide you with news on the ongoing injustice men are experiencing and what we plan to do about it. We will be posting details of how you can contribute, with draft letters to politicians and events you can attend.
The Arndt Army will also be producing audio versions of Bettina’s vital articles and books to ensure a larger audience for her work. This new section will become an archive, presenting her decades of research and advocacy for men.
The Arndt Army section will be available anytime on Substack to all of Bettina’s subscribers but she won’t be emailing out new posts from this section. Bettina doesn’t believe in adding to the constant flood of emails so many of us are receiving!
We’ve started our first campaign for 2025 - you can read all about it in Bettina’s latest blog.
You will see we are lobbying NSW politicians about the fact that in this state a complainant’s history of false allegations can’t be used by an accused to defend themselves at trial.
We have prepared a draft letter for you to send to NSW politicians - here’s the link.
We’ve had AI experts working to provide you with the choice of various drafts in a system designed to make the process demand only a few minutes of your time. It’s pretty basic right now but will become more sophisticated as we work on it.
PLEASE step up. We need large numbers from NSW lobbying their local members so please circulate the link to all your networks. But we’d also like interstate people to write to NSW political leaders exposing this absurd and unjust situation.
Hurrah, here is Dutton biting the bullet – acknowledging men have had enough! That’s huge. Finally the Opposition has got the message that men’s votes matter.
We are very excited by our new AI audio series which uses this amazing intelligence to present Bettina’s key articles and books in her voice. Here’s the first in this series - featuring Bettina’s most significant article on domestic violence.
We also plan to put together short versions of some of Bettina’s best-known videos. Here’s one from her most popular YouTube video - The Politics of Cleavage – which has had had 1.6 million views.
re your DV Industry vid...
The WEF's "Global Gender Gap Report" is outstandingly deceptive. It only reports disadvantage experienced by women. It goes as far as penalising nations on their "parity" index if men are not dying at least five years younger than women.
As the feminists were screaming in the seventies..."Nothing less than equality for women and nothing more than equality for men."
I still don't understand your stance. I have an ADVO against me. I'm a highly educated north shore mum. Go to the Downing Centre on any day of the week and you will find just as many women as men with claims of being abusive, having drinking problems, and more often than not, it is men that call the police on their wives to pre-empt the domestic violence claims they think women are going to put on them if they break up. It's all so tiresome.
I'm anti-Family Court. I used to be a Fiamenco fan girl. Not before I got an abusive claim - but in order to understand why he would put it on me. How on earth could a man be scared of a woman? How could he accuse me of being an abuser when I clearly was not. Yes, I did hit him. So I began to see that yes, I suppose - in the same way that feminism does, that I was equal to a man. I'm not allowed to hit a man in retaliation just because I'm virtually incapable of doing any damage to him or hurting him physically. There is no difference, because it hurts his feelings.
If a woman hits a man, it is no different to a man hitting a woman. Which is bullshit. It's similar to the trans lobby. The men want to claim similarity to women, in order to deny women their own claims. If given the choice, would these men you claim to respect and feel are being hard done by, honestly go back to the old days where they had to 100% provide for women and their children and with no state to fall back on? The failure of their marriage was then left to them. When there was no family court, a man could still be sued for a lifetime of damages for failing to uphold the deal - if he was lucky - in most places and times, he would simply be murdered by the lady's male relatives.
Why, because everyone - over every time and place, knows that women have physical attributes that render her weaker. She has reproductive capacities that make her vulnerable to rape and also give rise to traits that have evolved alongside that. Traits which the wisest of cultures make allowances for, because they know it's for the greater good. To protect the resources for their young by securing their mates.
You can't change nature by political means. You are the other side of the feminist coin.
And, I'm sorry but a man who takes a woman to family court is the loser, pre-emptively.
