Like NZ’s birthrate, the words ‘mother’ and ‘woman’ are in serious decline.

Image
 The declining population in countries referred to as ‘Western’ countries has been noted for some time. Here in New Zealand, the fertility rate as at December 2023 was 1.56 births per woman, which is lower than what is deemed to be the population replacement rate of 2.1 births per woman.¹   Like other Western countries, we rely on immigration to boost our numbers, but we’re buffered somewhat from unfettered and illegal immigration by being at the edge of the world. For the most part, immigrants to New Zealand tend to be more productive, than not. Having said that, of course I’m aware of stories and events which fly in the face of it. No need to enlighten me, thanks. Nothing’s perfect. The fact is, given the means, many women prefer to have fewer children now than our forebears had. Studies into this phenomenon have produced numerous hypotheses, both of the armchair variety and from actually studying the broad spectrum of women’s lives. I was listening to an interview (which I can’t fin

Kiwi women, in support of German women, participate in global protest against Germany's new self-ID law.

Image
 Germany passed self-ID into law on 1 st November 2024. Under this new law, euphemistically called the Gender Self-Determination Act, any man or woman over 18 can legally swap out the sex they were born to that of a changeable ‘gender’. A person who hurts the feelings one of these men or women by ‘misgendering’ or ‘deadnaming’ them – i.e. not going along with the ‘gender’ fiction - can be fined up to €10,000.¹ Is there anyone who doesn’t see a raft of vexatious complaints arising for spurious hurt feelings from this? New Zealand’s sex self-ID law was passed in June 2023. Our politicians at the time also chose not to believe there were any problems with it, even though the problems were well laid out for them. NZ law states that a changed birth certificate does not have to be taken as proof of a person’s sex, and “other factors” can be taken into account – which could simply be what our eyes and ears tell us. However, many groups and organisations, both public and private, are cav

It’s a normal survival instinct to be aware of our surroundings – so why would anyone tell women and girls they mustn’t exercise it?

Image
  What kind of creepy self-serving individual tells women and girls that being aware of our surroundings, who’s around us, and judging what might look and feel off, is “creepy”? Everything we’ve learned tells us to view the above attempted shaming of women and girls with justified deep suspicion. It’s natural for us to constantly scan our surroundings, either consciously or subconsciously, because to not do so isn’t great for our survival. To know who or what doesn’t look right in the environment we’re in, is to enhance the chance of that survival. Hence, we’re constantly using our eyes and ears, to either a greater or lesser degree, to scope out our surroundings. We don’t have those senses just for decoration. Women and girls, especially, grow up being taught how to be very aware of where we go and who’s in our periphery. Boys do, too, of course, but as boys grow into men, the need to retain that acute awareness becomes less necessary than it remains for women. We don’t want to have t

Who's holding the line for women’s sex-based rights in NZ, now that legacy women’s organisations won’t?

Image
  Jill Ovens, national secretary and co-leader of the  Women’s Rights Party NZ , gives an excellent presentation about the party in this recent Women’s Declaration International video below. In it, she describes how the Women’s Rights Party came about, and what it has done since its inception, including campaigning during the run-up to the general election in October 2023. Amongst a scant handful of other groups and organisations now, the Women’s Rights Party is dedicated to holding the line for women’s sex-based rights. Most legacy organisations, such as the  National Council of Women , have disgracefully sold out to the agenda of men who say they’re women. In the case of the National Council of Women it’s especially disgraceful, because  Kate Sheppard , who is revered for being highly instrumental in winning the vote for women in NZ in 1893, was the “ inaugural president of the National Council of Women of New Zealand (NCW) in 1896 ”. She’d turn in her grave at the sell-out the Natio

Shhhh .... there's a health provider in New Zealand who still knows about "mums" and "breastfeeding".

Image
 Satire: In an undisclosed location in New Zealand, there is a health provider who still uses the words “mum” and ‘breastfeeding”. This is in direct contravention to the Woke Stasi’s newspeak words of ‘birthing people’ and chestfeeding’. It’s imperative that the location of this health provider remains secret from the authorities. The Woke Stasi within the NZ Midwifery Council, Ministry of Health, Health NZ, and all trans/queer lobby groups may not be at all impressed. They want humans to become sexless on paper, so nothing stands in the way of those who desire to adopt an opposite sex identity to that which they were born getting documented as such. Using women’s language for women is anarchy. What will be next? Using the words ‘woman’ and ‘female’ in the same sentence? Only the ‘far right’ do that - i.e. ordinary people - whom the Woke Stasi consider dangerous, and, with burning-red eyes, obsessively hunt. If found, desistance is demanded. Health providers who use anarchistic languag

Why is the video of Mana Wāhine Kōrero’s oral submission against the Midwifery Council’s revised Scope of Practice being withheld from public viewing?

Image
  In an extraordinary move, the NZ Parliament Petitions Committee has decided to withhold the videoed oral submission made against the Midwifery Council’s revised Scope of Practice by Māori women’s group Mana Wāhine Kōrero (Sovereign Women Speak) from public viewing. The Petitions Committee , who “ oversees and coordinates the petitions process, and considers petitions and any related matters ”, has advised of this decision without explanation. Conversely, they have made the videoed oral submissions by the Midwifery Council and midwife Deb Hayes, who was the initiator of the petition against Midwifery Council’s revised Scope of Practice, available for public viewing. The Committee invited Deb and two groups - Mana Wāhine Kōrero and the Midwifery Council - to make oral submissions to them about the petition, which had collected almost 7,500 signatures. That’s a lot of signatures for a Parliamentary petition in New Zealand. However, many more people than those who signed it agree t
