Substantive Reply from Prime Minister's Office

 

(Open Letter to The Prime Minister)

 

Dear Mr. Christopher Hipkins,

 

On 28th March 2023, I heard you say on TV One (at 07:24 AM) that most sexual and domestic violence is committed by men.  You did not provide any evidence. 

I realise that you studied Political Science and Criminology at Victoria University of Wellington, which is a moronic, violent, female-dominated dump, so you may not understand the need to provide evidence to support your statements.

Your female interviewer also did not ask you for evidence.  She just listened to you happily and thought, "He's singing our song!"  After all, it was TVNZ who produced hours of anti-male propaganda about male-on-female crime, without any debate or right of reply.

 

Under the Official Information Act, could you please inform me:

  1. whether your Government's policy is to oppress men by outlawing any rational debate of anti-male propaganda;

  2. and whether your Government considers that Democracy is well-served by media which produce anti-male propaganda and never question anti-male propaganda when uttered by politicians?

 

I refer you to Professor Fiebert's Annotated Bibliography of Domestic Violence, which demonstrates "that women are as physically aggressive as men (or more) in their relationships with their spouses or opposite-sex partners." Some of these studies relate to New Zealand:

  • Magdol, L., Moffitt, T. E., Caspi, A., Fagan, J., Newman, D. L., & Silva, P. A. (1997). Gender differences in partner violence in a birth cohort of 21 year Olds: bridging the gap between clinical and epidemiological approaches. Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 65, 68-78. (Used CTS with a sample of 861 21 year Olds <436 men, 425 women> in New Zealand. Physical violence perpetration was reported during the previous 12 months by 37.2% of women and 21.8% of men, with severe violence perpetration by women at 18.6% and men at 5.7%.)

  • Moffitt, T. E., Robins, R. W., & Caspi, A. (2001). A couples analysis of partner abuse with implications for abuse-prevention policy. Criminology & Public Policy, 1 (1), 5-36. (A representative longitudinal sample of 360 young-adult couples in New Zealand completed a 13 item physical abuse scale. Results reveal that 40% of males and 50% of females had perpetrated at least one act of physical violence toward their partners.)

  • Fergusson, D. M., Horwood, L. J., & Ridder, E. M. (2005). Partner violence and mental health outcomes in a New Zealand birth cohort. Journal of Marriage and Family, 67, 1103-1119. (Examined extent of domestic violence experience and perpetration in a sample of 828 <437 women, 391 men> young adults who were 25 years old. Subjects were part of a long term longitudinal study and were administered the CTS2. Results reveal that "there were more men exposed to severe domestic violence than women" and that mild and moderate rates were similar for men and women. Overall, 39.4% of women and 30.9% of men reported perpetration scores of 3 or higher. Authors report that men and women reported similar rates of injury <3.9% for women vs. 3.3% for men>. In terms of initiation of partner assaults, 34% of women and 12% of men reported initiating physical assaults.)

  • Ehrensaft, M. K., Moffitt, T. E., & Caspi, A. (2004). Clinically abusive relationships in an unselected birth cohort: men's and women's participation and developmental antecedents. Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 113 (2), 258-270. (Assessed 980 individuals, ages 24-26, who were participants in longitudinal study in New Zealand. Subjects were examined with the CTS, the Partner Conflict Calendar, PCC, a measure of the consequences of abuse and a variety of personality and psychopathology scales. Findings reveal that 9% of the total sample, with an equal number of men and women, were victims of clinical abuse in their relationships with partners.)

  • Jackson, S. M., Cram, F. & Seymour, F. W. (2000). Violence and sexual coercion in high school students' dating relationships. Journal of Family Violence, 15, 23-36. (In a New Zealand sample of senior high school students <200 women, 173 men> 21% of women and 19% of men reported having been physically hurt by their heterosexual dating partner.)
    And yet another study:

  • Lewis, A. & Sarantakos, S. (2001). Domestic Violence and the male victim. Nuance, #3. (Based on interviews with 48 men in Australia and New Zealand, authors present findings that domestic violence by women toward men exists, that the refusal to examine the prevalence of this abuse is a "disempowerment" of men and that official policy should be changed to provide help for abused men.).

I realise that you used to be the Minister for the State Services, so you may be aware of the regular New Zealand Crime & Victims Survey.  I have had to criticise it for anti-male bias in the past.  There is no possibility of that survey ever being professional or unbiased, while you have a Ministry For Women, but no Ministry for Men. I have already told you about the following encounter with an employee of the Ministry for Women at Victoria University of Wellington:

One day, I was attending a tutorial, as part of a course in the School of Government at Victoria University of Wellington. It was probably my first tutorial for that course. I was sitting opposite a tall and strongly-built Maori or Polynesian woman, who was working for the Ministry of Women's Affairs (as it was called at that time, I think). At one point, she blurted out something like, "Men have never done anything for women!" I replied that men gave women the vote.

She had no reply to that, so she said, "Change the subject!" The male lecturer in charge of the tutorial looked as if he was about to obey her command -- she was a woman, after all, and this was a New Zealand university, so she had to be obeyed, I suppose!

However, I said that she had no right to change the subject. The lecturer did not seem to understand why, so I had to explain to him that she was not in charge of the tutorial -- HE was the person in charge. He took my point, but he changed the subject anyway. After the class, I saw that woman go up to the lecturer and ask to change her tutorial and I never saw her again. She was obviously too stupid and too totalitarian to cope with rational discussion, which she had obviously never come across in the Public Service!

There is absolutely no chance of a Public Service staffed by people like that producing valid research on anything involving men.

 

The situation with sexual violence is even worse, because there seems to be little research into female sexual violence.  Here is a quote from "Perspectives on Female Sex Offending: A Culture of Denial", by Myriam S. Denov:

"... the training that I received in both social work and criminology had never mentioned or even insinuated that women could be perpetrators of sexual abuse."

I am sure that the Leftist, Feminist Criminology department which you attended would have been similar.

 

 

I soon received the following reply.  It did not address me by name, which I consider unprofessional.

 

 

I am writing on behalf of the Prime Minister, Rt Hon Chris Hipkins, to acknowledge receipt of your Official Information Act request.

Your request will be responded to under the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982.

Yours sincerely

Dinah Okeby
Office of the Prime Minister

I soon received the following substantive reply:
