If anyone reads Neil Lyndon's 'Return of the Heretic', he documents how he was also scape goated and the inflammatory accusations that were made against him.
More and More I see aspects of "Female Relational Aggression" at play. The HR manager was on a power trip to shame and humiliate the enemy.
He documents aspects of the destruction of his reputation, also his son's mother was an alcoholic who was given custody of him. This article had been deleted from the newspaper site.
From many of the cases covered by Bettina's articles it seems that juries are now throwing out most of these trumped up cases of sexual assault , at last juries are waking up and hopefully police will get tired of losing and change their ways.
Take the case the late Kevin Ibbs, charged and convicted of rape even though the woman had consented but then changed her mind . That was over 30 years ago and the jury could be best described as naive and prudish , poor Kevin had no chance.
But if his case was tried now he would more likely be found not guilty.
What we need is an information pack and video series to educate all 16 - 18 year old boys on exactly how the system works and how it will treat them. They need to be educated on the reality of modern society so that they can take appropriate behaviours to protect themselves.
What is happening for the last 30 years or more is that men are mislead in their expectations of society and of our systems. We need to educate the next generation on what can and will happen to them if they are alone with a woman or involved in a divorce etc.
Nothing will generate changes in the law and system like an entire generation of women who have to deal with men who are educated on how things really work.
How sad that Senator Stocker was forced into making a statement, even if it was to set the record straight with her side of story. Non the less the media were quite prepared to sacrifice her privacy. As for Lydia Thorpe, I don't know of any other politician who would be allowed to get away with the behaviour that she has consistently demonstrated. Of course the politicians are too scared to do anything - she's a human headline.
I'm not sure she umped at the chance Jamie, I think the media would have hounded her until she said something and that may have been more damaging for Senator Van. From what I have read the media were onto it quite early and she was not commenting. It's a crazy world at the moment.
Does anyone know of cases of financial abuse being used to obtain apprehended violence orders? Please get in touch with me via my website if you can help with personal stories where this has happened. I am particularly interested in how the banks are becoming involved in this territory.
"Financial Violence" what next? this is the result of allowing the definition of "violence" to be widened to ridiculous extremes, the same applies to the definition of sexual assault.
I have heard of a few cases here in WA ie. a man cuts up his wife's credit cards because she was spending too much, the woman got a violence order against the man , who was as usual kicked out of his own house by police , but maybe this woman was advised by her bank to do this . I will try to get the details .
The banks have been enthusiastic supporters of the war against men, no surprise since most of their employees are women, and the feminist influence is obvious.
But where is the common sense here? there is no connection at all between a financial matter and a violent act, but in the twisted logic of feminists anything can be violent.
My sons have chosen healthcare and teaching as long term career paths. I am pleased that they chosen to go into such noble professions, but also worried that their lives could be turned upside by a false, even trivial complaint.
I have a good friend whose mantra is : Happy wife, happy life. No wife even happier life, which is sad as he is a most kind and generous person. I also have delightful female colleagues, accomplished intelligent with much to offer, yet lonely for male companionship.
This current silliness is benefiting no one. When the joy and fun, of time honoured courtship rituals have been reduce to procedures and policies manuals in some self serving HR department , I see loneliness and loss of the possibility of something good that might have been.
Thank you for your continued support of men - which ultimately supports women, real women who contribute to society. A younger male friend was surprised I was never harassed by other men. He assumed because I was a woman I was continuously harassed in my past profession. The only inappropriate gesture was once by a male mentor, who of course was a liberal Democrat. Creepy statements, though very few, are always by men who proudly proclaim their liberal stances.
Except on two (2) occasions have I ever had female bosses. During my varied careers, my bosses have been male and they, along with other male colleagues have always been respectful and supportive. And I have always treated them in the same manner. Sadly, many of today's females are aggressive, nasty and have agendas. Gone is the femininity.
The evidence continues to mount that the feminists are wrong, women don't belong in the man's world of work and politics (there are exceptions, of course). Psychiatrist Mark McDonald notes that the covid hysteria was driven primarily by anxious women and sheepish men who would not step in and challenge the crazy safety measures, lockdowns, masks, etc. He also notes that it is the presence of strong men which naturally calms women's fears most effectively. Unfortunately the feminists have undermined healthy, masculine males through things like sexual harassment campaigns which you discuss here.
I don't know if this is the place to bring this up, but I know a man who used to work at the Neerkol Orphanage near Rockhampton, Queensland. There were some rather unpleasant allegations about sexual mistreatment of orphans there, and an old priest was convicted. The man I know was, I gather, an orphan himself, who later worked in the bakery at the orphanage. He had an accusation hanging over his head for something like TWENTY YEARS, I gather, before it was thrown out in court. I was shocked when I first heard about it, and wondered whether I should continue to associate with him, but decided that I had already been eating his cooking for years, and that I couldn't just sever connections with him. However, I think other people may have parted ways with him when they became aware of the allegation.
From what I read in the newspaper report of the trial, the story basically consisted of the sort of stuff that kids make up and tell smaller kids in a lot of schools. I don't understand how prosecutors can take such stuff seriously and keep an accusation hanging over someone's head for so long.

Thank you Bettina
My instinct tells me that Lydia Thorpe’s accusations achieved exactly what was intended. And the media lapped it up.
I’m appalled by reading the comments below on shocking injustices to men. Who is working to correct this in the legal/judiciary/court area?
Thankful for Bettina’s work in media

Unfortunately no. Is it looking like the banks are supporting any claim with transactions used as evidence?
thanks for mentioning the Alan Jones interview, Stephen. I was delighted Alan gave me so much time to explain what is going on. Here's the link. The discussion starts around 11 minutes in. https://watch.adh.tv/alan-jones-full-shows/season:3/videos/bettina-arndt-ted-woodley-tuesday-20-june-2023.
Unfortunately the article in the Australian by Claire Lehmann is behind a paywall so I am unable to read it, but it sounds interesting.

Guilty until proven innocent. I always thought innocent until proven guilty was supposed to be one of the pillars of western society.
Feminists are false accusation apologists.
