FYI

Universities have websites which are part of the wonderful thing we call the internet - YOU can locate any of these by using any number of search engines, I happened to use Google, but YOU can use any means you like. Hey, YOU could even physically attend a university of your choosing and check out their curriculum.

For what its worth, I attended the University of Melbourne - not that this knowledge will provide any enlightenment for you.

Johhy Rotten,
I had best not go anywhere near the University of Melbourne if abusive individuals such as yourself are the result.

I have looked on websites from Australian universities, and everything about the male gender has been negative.

I think this bigotery, negativity and denigration of males eventually leads to situation, as with Tony Miller, of someone receiving the Order Of Australia while living in a car.

There are countless social workers and humanities lecturers etc in Australian universities, but not one to my knowledge made mention of the Tony Miller situation.

Why did none mention it?

It would be career suicide to mention it, when everything said about males and fathers has to be negative.

So much for academics in Australian universities.

Briar rose,
I’ll explain the story of Tony Miller, and it might help you to understand.

The article mentions dads for kids, but the founder of Dads 4 Kids was Tony Miller. He also worked tirelessly helping out various men and founded Dads in Distress. Many of these men had been through the grinder of the feminist conceived torture chamber, which is the Family Law Court, and had no one to get support from, so they turned to groups such as Dads in Distress.

Tony Miller also developed a suicide prevention program for men and got some government funding for it. It was very successful, and some other countries have modeled their suicide prevention programs on it. However groups such as Dads in Distress have been labeled MRA’s by various feminists harbored in universities, and eventually the government cut funding to the programs of Tony Miller.

Eventually he was left homeless, but the government then gave him an Order of Australia medal for his community work over the years.

Another group for men and fathers was operating in Brisbane and received the Logan City award 6 years in a row for its community work, but it was also attacked by feminists harboured in universities and labeled an MRA, and has never received government funding, and I think it has now shut down.

As I have also mentioned, out of the army of social scientists, political analysists, soicial commentators, social workers, humanitarians, and various other hangers on in universities, not one mentioned the fact that a homeless person was given the Order of Australia.

These hangers on are really of no use to anyone, and it is a sign of our times, that so much money is spent on them, while people such as Tony Miller who had a proven track record of actually helping people received nothing and eventually became homeless.

Thank you Vanna, I understand your position a lot better now.

While there are certainly a lot of useless dorks in universities, some of us are OK.

I would have thought Tony Miller, as a homeless man receiving the Order of Australia, would make a really good story for the media. I'm surprised it hasn't happened, or have I missed it?

Briar rose,
Well, someone receiving the Order of Australia while being homeless and living in a car probably would make a good media story, but the feminist devaluing of the male gender has been so thorough that the media considered it a non-issue, just like every academic within the university system so it seems.

Also, who trains the journalist who go into the media?
