**frostyboy** · 1st-July-2008

From Captain MRA's blog:

I am on the mailing list of New Zealand MRA, Peter Zohrab, who runs the website:

New Zealand Equality Education Foundation

I received an email notice earlier this evening from Peter that I have found intriguing.

Regarding the list of people who will be attending, it seems to be some sort of provisional list. Perhaps these are the people who the organizers are hoping will take part. Peter Zohrab himself is on the list but I have been told that he is not going to be attending. It is mostly because of the expense because he has stated that he would very much like to attend otherwise. It would be interesting to know whether the organizers would accept contributions from MRAs who cannot attend (vlogs, opinion polls, research, etc). I will see if I can find anything out about this.

I also notice the name Teri Stoddard as a potential to take part in the conference. While it states that she is from the UK, I'm sure it is a misprint and means the excellent fathers rights campaigner Teri Stoddard from the USA. I hope Teri can make it. And although the spelling is a little different I'm sure that another person that might possibly attend is one of the world's most respected medical academics, Professor Robert Winstone. It would be great if some of these people can take part.

Great, looks like the MRM is becoming more professional and organized. There should be more conferences like this one.

Feminism for men coming soon..

Its a bit like vegetarianism for cats really..

**John Dias** · 1st-July-2008

They're holding the conference in Greece? This isn't 300 B.C... Greece and Greek culture are not the dominant forces in the world today. They ought to hold the conference in America. After all, the world does revolve around American power and culture.

**FFFF** · 1st-July-2008

Just an excuse for an holiday I think..

What are greek women like?

Go on John, you know you want to go!!

Oh gasp, more name-calling from the man of the moral high-ground, so he claims... while he goes around lying about me & this site on his slut's forum.

I don't pretend to be someone's friend on one hand, and backstab with the other hand, lying and backing-up other people's lies. That is your level, not mine.
I haven't disabled new threads - I only edited the avatar options so as to get that man-bashing slut off my site, the one you've been begging to be allowed back here. And that is the crux of this, I won't allow that slapper back in here and that means I'm not bowing to your will, and that's terrible!!! So, what will you do? Oh Oh Oh - here's an idea - let's spread lies and misinformation, yay!!

We're such an ego-centric country...lol!

You're right. It's a perfect place for feminists and masculists.

I'd love to see a public conference/debate held between the most vocal or prominent of both sides.

As you should be! I, being the studious asshole that I am, have studied the posts of Ms. FruitCake. And I must say the parallels between hers and yours are incredulous!

I have a good mind to send my wife up to your neck of the woods to straighten things out the way we do in the wild west, but alas you are too meager a target for someone as good her.

I, for one, have had enough of the BS. I think AM must get one of you every spring, when the berries are ripe, looking to pick at the golden fruit. Envious jealous creatures that you are!

Marx is a patient and good man, I am not patient! Feeders and looters can go to hell, I can go to hell... as long as we're both in hell - and not the sanctuary of this godsend forum! At least in hell we can have it out like a couple of devils instead of the pretending to be what you are not!

You don't know my history, I do not air dirty laundry like some goddamn whore.... but I'll tell you this... I've walked past the snide gestures of your gestalt more than I care... and I won't walk past again without saying THIS!
