Going to have to disagree. The problem is definitely both feminism and women. That doesn't mean that women are innately evil or anything, it's just that our cultural issues stem from our culture's feminine rather than masculine leadership.
Women have got to change. They've got to be attacked, not for the sake of revenge or something, but to hold them accountable so they can be better. Holding someone accountable is processed in the brain the same way that being ostracized is, which is why I say attacked, because holding someone accountable is a form of social attack, even though it is completely justified.
If we can't admit that the problem to our culture is womens behavior, our culture will never be saved.
To add to this excellent article. I think young people, 18-22 let’s say, aren’t engaged enough in politics and lack maturity to understand complex social issues (such FC, other men’s rights) and to see the evils of the left and feminists. At that age I was voting libs, not even sure why. I knew nothing of politics I think I just thought Howard was a straight shooter. So that age is influenced by social media, superficial facts and showmanship. So it is no surprise men are left (along with Uni’s influence). I think once they get to 30+ marriage etc they would move the other way. Life experience brings a shift.
Its much worse than that. Firstly an entire generation of men have been taught to positively hate themselves (not merely suffering from youthful naivete), secondly the 30-something cohort maturing from marriage & kids are vanishing fast in number. Life experience only produces a shift when it happens.
An additional point would be to repeal last year’s removal of Howard era equal treatment of men. And a general review of false accusations being used to enhance family court outcomes for the women. Many may not know, many Family law specialists won’t take on FC cases which have “allegations” of child sex abuse. So the simple allegation limits mens options of legal representation. 80% of apps to FC tick the box for some form of DV, neglect or abuse.
Brilliant article Bettina. I have been badgering the Libs for some time on this issue. Societies are falling apart because of a lack of Masculine presence, to bring stability, guardianship and robust rational thinking to a society out of control. You are doing great work. Sharing this article today.
Yeah no thanks. I’m not voting liberal ever again. It’s one nation etc. for me from here on out. I’m sick of the managerial class sludge that is sinking Australia. The liberals won’t do anything to reverse it, they’ll maybe do it marginally slower than labor, but even that’s probably asking too much.
As for the men who are in fear about a VOTER STRIKE as its unlawful, what happens is a threat of a $200 fine is sent out with your right of reply pending. Simply state it is against your religion to vote for a corrupt infidel system, post it back and you will never hear from the electrol commission again, end of story.
Why have men got themselves into this mess in the first place ? is because of the agenda of most of the elected female pollies. They do not represent all of the people equally in your electorate, women first and men #10 on the list. STOP VOTING FOR FEMALES. And if you can not do this oh weak men, simply STOP VOTING for anyone. Cus if 25% of the population don't vote, the pollies have got a problem. JUST DO IT.
True on all points, except I can’t see getting out of the fine tbh. They tried to get me for the census after I moved into a rental. I no after covid I’m not helping the state Gov bureaucracy. They got threatening fines, I said go ahead, you don’t even know who I am, you have only my address. Needless to say I never got issued a fine.
Wonderful, comprehensive article Bettina. You give hope to those of us that understand the ebbs and flows of history. One tenet of history is that the extremists over reach, just look at the Greens. Ideas that had some merit are relentlessly pursued beyond the initial concern.
If there was a serious interest in addressing domestic violence with equity there would be refuges and support for men, without denegration. Men at the end of their tether from a narcissistic, gas lighting, vindictive women. They have tried counselling, reason, patience, submission. To no avail. If they leave, they are confronted with being homeless, losing their home, their children, possibly their career. Fathers love their children as much as any mother. If the stay, eventually the situation becomes untenable. They are vulnerable to hitting out in frustration, anger, fear. They either fight or take flight. The statistic that approximately 5 - 6 separated men commit suicide a day, a day, demonstrates that the vast majority of men leave, take flight. A very few men are the narcissistic, violent murderers that must be punished accordingly and are the majority of intimate partner offenders. A small number of frustrated men choose, often in self defence, to kill their partners. None of the current actions being taken will address the reality of why men kill their partners. In fact, having been married to a narcissistic controlling women, the current actions tend to belittle men, adding to their frustration, anger, particularly their self-worth and almost eliminate their alternatives. Luckily I had a caravan and spent four months trying to save the relationship. Until I realised it was impossible, despite my wife claiming she wanted to save our marriage, if only I'd change.
As a CSI for 14 years I examined the scenes of many sad domestic homicides. Whilst some were outright, malicious murders, many were committed by (men or women) driven to desperation, spontaneously responding to prolonged psychological abuse. Women are responsible for 30 - 35% of domestic murders. When physical strength is taken into account, and the fact that partners, of either sex, are accountable for about the same percentage of assaults, the problem is not sex based but about relationship,
As you so rightly point out, much has been achieved over the last three decades through awareness and support services reflected in the two-thirds reduction in domestic homicides.
Sadly this is not lauded and acknowledge, but increasingly the anti is raised against men as sole perpetrators. From personal experience and that of my male divorced friends, they have, to varying degrees, been broken by women full of the self-righteousness of empowered women. One decent guy, having fought to stop his ex taking the children to NZ, committed suicide two days after they left the country.
The average male partner is a hardworking, wife loving, child adoring person, wanting to create a living home environment. So are women. Throughout human history close relationships have been always been fraught, but from the statistics we should be celebrating the huge progress made in recent decades, not exaggerating statistics or denigrating men.
I could go on about the increasing disruption to the corporate world as women join the executive ranks, not on merit, but sex, by bullying, sex assault allegations, inappropriate relationships. Yet for some reason the male is always at fault. These are adults.
Sadly, a very true account of the way it happens to some. The worst I think is the way The Family Court acts. When men run out of money they decide to represent themselves. FC has no compassion for men, and most registrars/ Judges have no desire to help them. These men are very much in the dark as they try to prepare submissions themselves>while accepting the loss of the family, and in some cases all property now in the wife’s name. They also have the humiliation of living down the untruthful claims made by the wife. Sure marriages break up often, but I believe that this generation of men have many things that men in the past have not had against them. Some Women now are more calculating and out to win at any cost!
On the balance between young men and women. A young man in my family sought a PT job at a major hardware retailer. He had done metalwork at school, knew his way around a workshop, knew tools and their uses, what materials did what...but he missed out. His girlfriend got a job. She is a personable young woman, but knows nothing about hardware. At this major retailer, I always seek a male assistant, they invariably know exactly what I'm talking about. The girls always had to 'look it up' and still misdirected me and otherwise get it wrong.
Daphne Patai in her book Heterophobia refers to Joel Best who wrote something like;
"When the claim makers managed to get a perspective accepted, they then drill down and find more instances." (when I find the correct phrasing I'll correct this)
For example "micro aggressions", "micro sexism" ect.
"inflammatory analogies" for example some writers will include Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate in the same sentence wanting us to believe that Peterson and Tate are the same, when in reality they are as different as chalk and cheese.
People who dislike/hate Jordan Peterson will often make the claim he is a misogynist when in reality he is not and nowhere even close. Peterson is also a clinical psychologist.
Waleed surprised me with the article he wrote, however, I suspect he will be subjected to being "re-educated" and attempts made to convince him he is wrong.
Looking through the lens of "Relational or indirect aggression" a tactic used not only by the Stasi known as Zersetzung, but even by the Suffragettes and now the modern feminist activists.
Zersetzung, the corrosion, decay is a group of covert psychological destabilisation tactics perhaps more recently known as 'gaslighting'.
One great advantage of the harassment perpetrated under Zersetzung (Relational or indirect Aggression) was that its relatively subtle nature meant that it was able to be plausibly denied,
And now these current angry "feminists" are labelling other women who disagree with their radical anti-male bias as "misogynists". Their irrational hatred will eventually result in a widespread undoing of workplace & social achievements made by genuine women/mothers over the past 125 years.
Still absolutely not anywhere near enough.
"Equality has gone too far".
Men and women were always equal under the law. The fact that we are still operating under a feminist paradigm is absolutely pathetic.
None of this is near enough. Women have to be culturally held accountable. It has to be made known that feminism is evil.
It simply is not enough to defend men. You must attack women.
How can the biggest female grift of all time simply pass by accepted by everyone?
It's demented, and not enough to defeat gynocentrism, which seems to be continuing like always.
Let's be clear - the problem isn't women, it's feminism.
Going to have to disagree. The problem is definitely both feminism and women. That doesn't mean that women are innately evil or anything, it's just that our cultural issues stem from our culture's feminine rather than masculine leadership.

Something I found intriguing is this YouTube "The WAR on MEN is total government misinformation | Auto Expert John Cadogan"
To my knowledge he has never made any similar statements in the past.

Yes, it’s not the Liberals with a women problem: it’s actually the Labour Party., starting at the top.
Token women on company boards is insulting.
Well women are really just less capable.

Agree entirely. Personal experience
Daisy Cousins hit the nail on the head, whilst our politicians are tilting their lances to windmills.
Australian Big Lie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91UHpD9lM3k
This is a must watch video from Daisy. I was immediately doubtful of the DV figures being touted around.
Daisy splendidly "bells the cat". The actually intimate partner homicides for 2024 is 8, yes 8. Not 27.

I’ve heard of Jordan Peterson but not Andrew Tate , please can you tell us who he is and why he’s different to JP .
That is an essay in itself.
People who dislike/hate Jordan Peterson will often make the claim he is a misogynist when in reality he is not and nowhere even close. Peterson is also a clinical psychologist.
Andrew Tate has a past history of being a kickboxer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Tate
Feminists use the very same tactics the Stasi use or perhaps it is the case the Stasi adapted tactics used by the Suffragettes.
Jamie if you haven't look for George thetinmen on instagram. there are a few interviews of him on U Tube.
Good question, the flat answer is Yes, although I think research shows men do not have many close friends for various reasons.
Waleed surprised me with the article he wrote, however, I suspect he will be subjected to being "re-educated" and attempts made to convince him he is wrong.
