New Mens Centre (We hope)
Some of you folks may not be aware of the fact that we tried to resurrect the burned down Men's Refuge across the road from the Fire Station in Timaru, NZ.
I was talking to a guy on the phone last night that may have changed all that.
He never gave his full name but said he would be willing to fund a Mens Centre in Timaru (Timaru seems to have an exscruiatingly high number of solo mums).
I asked him what he was willing to give us, he said that he had suffered a nasty divorce and had about $3m left for himself, his wife got $5m.
Now, I'm not saying this is a wind-fall at all, I have to meet the guy first and you would expect a guy to keep a bit for himself.
Being an electrician, I have project manager skills that could help this effort, I reckon we can have a nice place for men for about $180k, good lodgings.
There are any amount of men that are living at the Salvation Army Hall and also the YMCA that could help with the labour.
I will provide my time and labour for free, but this guy said he will not allow cost over-runs, and in that I can agree.
The biggest thing is getting Resource Consent here (Council Laws), that will be the biggest hurdle.
I'll keep you guys posted on how it is going.

Re: New Mens Centre (We hope)
Great news Mike. What the MRM needs is a few good and wealthy men to step up and cough up.
Short term accomodation could be useful for some guys in hardship, but many, many more need outreach and training programs. I hope the new Men's Centre takes the chaps into the hills to do a bit of Robert Bly bonding for a morning, and in the afternoon and evening some armed combat skills, feminazi identification and personal research skills, and psychological warfare techniques.
Better make it a three day program.
Maybe some part of the budget could go on surveillance equipment and techniques.
A good part-time lawyer (ugh) a good researcher and a good publicist would be useful too. And an internet designer.
And purple paint and superglue, spiderman outfits, rope, banners, .......

Re: New Mens Centre (We hope)
Burned down across the road from the fire station...

If this would have been a women's shelter, it would be back already in full operating condition...charity shows and donations etc...etc...
Good luck with this project...Let us know more about it...How many men can find accomodation there in case of a problem?
True, but such men are difficult to find - maybe possible only if these men are single/divorced and retired...living overseas...or out of anonymity...Percy: What the MRM needs is a few good and wealthy men to step up and cough up.
The message is getting out for us men somewhat differently ...it is not PC like it is for a women shelter...
'No marriage - No children - and you will hardly need a Men's Refuge....'
A Men's Refuge is a great project, but the most important point is prevention. -
If men learn to be careful about the law and learn to avoid legal traps with females...

Re: New Mens Centre (We hope)
This building was also used to house men in the 30's-40's, it was a soldiers barracks, once it caught fire that was it.
I copped an assault charge that night knocking the women out that started the fire.
She came up to me, I was one of the FF's operating one of the pumps that night, she said to me "good to see that place burn, it's a shit-hole, for men"
I called the cops on the Fire Service radio.
All I said was "you started that fire?", She said "yes, I hate anything that is done for men, they should all be neutered"
I hit her in the face, as a side-swipe, gloved hand.
Now, I would NEVER do that usually, I was wound up so far with seeing all our good work go down the drain.
I am not a violent person at all, especially on duty as a Fire-fighter.
I was arrested and taken to the police station, I was formally charged with assault with intent to injure and was taken back to the rank of Qualified Fire-fighter (I was a Senior FF at the time), I was given a years probation and had to pay a $500 fine + court costs, this is still on my Police record.
The woman got 3 months probation, for arson for Christ sakes!
My Station Officer at the time told me he probably would have done the same thing, given the circumstances.
Cold comfort, eh.

Re: New Mens Centre (We hope)
Mike, you are one of the good guys, and you know what they say about good guys.

You are used to putting fires out, that someone else has started. Good guys stop things and clear up.
Maybe there ought to be some breadth to the character. Make room for the inner finishing-off guy.

Re: New Mens Centre (We hope)
I hope I live to actually shake or high five the hand that pimp slapped that wothless clump of feminazi shit like a twenty dollar whore.....

And the Sexual Sycophant String Quartet better not give me any violins-against-women whining for saying THAT.
You should have insisted on a jury trial. I doubt very much that you have twelve neighbours who would have held that against you.
Getting the pussy pass for the criminal charge is one thing...the board of administration for the men's shelter should sue her into profound and permanant poverty as a civil action as well.

Re: New Mens Centre (We hope)
Whats a mens refuge?
A doss house or something?
Does the MRM have to ape feminism to such a level that we are encouraging men to claim victim status to match women?

Drex, my big swinging dicked friend, your hubris is showing through.Whats a mens refuge?

Not all men are capable. Not all men survive the onslaught of cops and courts and lawyers all kicking him when he is down. Yes, some chaps do take a lot and reach their limit. They give up. They suicide.
Victim is a word with a meaning and it is applicable to anyone truely treated as a unwanted dog and constantly mistreated. Men are not immune to being victimised. The feminazis have stolen enough friggin' words without us having to throw then in their direction as unwanted.
There are some men made victims every day. We don't have to encourage it and no one is suggesting that we do.
MikeT is doing something to help his fellow men. Men who need a helping hand, a roof, a bed. Doss house? Hey why not join that slag who burned it down. Better still lend a hand to Help a mate.When in need of a drink to fill the soul

Re: New Mens Centre (We hope)
Are you kidding????? She should have been charged with a hate crime (don't know how that works in NZ, though). That's one of the more disgusting things I've heard lately.All I said was "you started that fire?", She said "yes, I hate anything that is done for men, they should all be neutered"
"Every noble impulse, every unselfish expression of love; every brave suffering for the right; every surrender of self to something higher than self; every loyalty to an ideal; every unselfish devotion to principle; every helpfulness to humanity; every act of self-control; every fine courage of the soul, undefeated by pretense or policy, but by being, doing, and living of good for the very good’s sake—that is spirituality." -David O. McKay

Re: New Mens Centre (We hope)
When you put it that way, I can see your point.Dont worry percs, i just have concerns about terminology etc..
Call it a mens resource centre, a training camp, a gents retreat..
refuge?
nah.. Too humiliating to comtemplate!!
How about:
Distressed Gentlemen's Club.

Re: New Mens Centre (We hope)
Drex,
I have to agree with you about the name, using the word REFUGE, makes it some sort of a PC hell-hole.
We may go with a name like "The ("Insert Name") Trust Centre.
The old place in Timaru was called the Mens Refuge and look what bloody happened?
I will state one thing though, when I was divorced in 1995, there was NO support for guys like me, other side of the coin, women could run to any governmental agency they liked and got real help, even cash up front.
What's wrong with that picture?.
The fact of the matter is, is that men will always be worse off after a divorce, I'm trying to make a thing like this happen, I have our local MP (who is a woman) on side although I'm not sure how genuine she is.
What-ever, I have the funding now for this to go ahead all we need now is for the plans to be drawn up and registered with the Council.
I'll keep you folks posted as to progress.
Cheers,
Mike.
