  • Imagereal Capture
    'AS EVERYBODYKNOWS' Countering Myths of Gender Bias in Family Law Angela Melville and Rosemary ~unter* According to certain media commentators, supporters of the men's movement, and even some family lawyers, 'everybody knows' that family law is biased against men. This article draws upon empirical research which shows that the incidence of domestic violence in Family Court cases is relatively high, and that women are often reluctant to take out a domestic violence protection order even if domestic violence has occurred. Despite the high incidence of domestic violence, the Family Court generally supports men having contact with their children and, rather than the Family Court being biased towards women, the very opposite sometimes occurs. It would appear that what 'everybody knows' are a number of myths that can be located within a broader backlash against feminism, and that these myths fail to stand up to empirical testing. Introduction The title of this article is taken from a comment made by Bettina Arndt, contributor to the Sydney Morning Herald and other publications, and well- known advocate of the Australian men's movement. Arndt had accused the Family Court of discriminating against men, so that their feelings of frustration and anger triggered acts of violence. She then denied that she was inciting violence in the Family Court, arguing that: 'Everybody knows that in the majority of cases where violence does erupt it's over denial of access." Arndt's use of the phrase 'everybody knows' warrants closer scrutiny. This phrase is used to make claims that women routinely deny contact to the fathers of their children following separation, and that family law and the Family Court are biased against men.

  • Cassie Jaye's Red Pill Too Truthful for Feminists to Tolerate
    Cassie Jaye’s Red Pill too truthful for feminists to tolerate Cassie Jaye at the world premiere of The Red Pill earlier this month. Picture: Ian Stroud Bettina Arndt, The Australian, 12:00AM October 29, 2016 “The Red Pill: The movie about men that feminists didn’t want you to see.” This was the provocative headline that ran in Britain’s The Telegraph last November, a teaser for a documentary made by a feminist filmmaker who planned to take on men’s rights activists but was won over and crossed to the dark side to take up their cause. Despite a ferocious campaign to stop the movie being made, it’s finally been released and the Australian screening was due next week in Melbourne. However the gender warriors have struck again, using a change.com petition to persuade Palace Cinemas to cancel the booking. Palace took the decision after being told the movie would offend many in its core audience but by yesterday 8000 had signed petitions protesting the ban. Organisers are now scrambling to find another venue. Clearly this documentary has the feminists very worried — with good reason. Cassie Jaye is an articulate, 29-year-old blonde whose previous movies on gay marriage and abstinence education won multiple awards. But then she decided to interview leaders of the Men’s Rights Movement for a documentary she was planning about rape culture on American campuses. As a committed feminist, Jaye expected to be unimpressed by these renowned hate-filled misogynists, but to her surprise she was exposed to a whole range of issues she came to see as unfairly stacked against men and boys.

  • Exemplary Economists of the Twentieth Century a Review Article of 36 Economists' Autobiographies
    Exemplary Economists of the Twentieth Century A Review Article of 36 Economists’ Autobiographies Peter Groenewegen* Roger Backhouse and Robert Middleton, eds, Exemplary Economists, Volume 1, North America, Volume 2, Europe, Asia and Australasia, Cheltenham and Northampton, Mass., Edward Elgar Publishing, 2000, pp.xxiii+452, xxiii+441; ISBN 1 85 898 954 0, 1 85 898 960 4. Price: £65 per volume. As the editors comment in their introduction (which, incidentally, is the same in both volumes) publishing collections of the autobiographies of well-known economists is now a highly fashionable activity. Among the more recent ventures in the field they mention Szenberg (1992); Breit and Spencer (1995) dealing with Nobel Laureates; Kregel (1988, 1989) which reprints many of the autobiographies originally published in Banca nazionale del lavoro; four volumes of commissioned ‘Makers of Modern Economics’ edited by Heertje (1993, 1995, 1997, 1999); and a series of interviews with economists edited by Tribe (1997), by Snowdon and Vane (1999) and by Ibanez (1999). The 36 autobiographies included here (or, more precisely, 35 since one, chapter 18 on Ashenfelter, is an interview) have been drawn from the contributors to the Elgar series of collected papers, Economics of the Twentieth Century. As the appendix (reproduced in both volumes) indicates, not all of these contributors are included. On my count, 69 economists in all are represented in this series through their collected essays, that is, almost twice as many potential ‘exemplary economists’ as appear in these volumes. I note also that the 36 include the editors of this series for Elgar, Mark Blaug and Mark Perlman.

M. (‘Max’) Corden to Economics. We focus on three main fields: trade theory and practice, especially his pioneering work on the theory of effective protection; open economy macroeconomics, including exchange rate policy, the international monetary system, Dutch Disease, and economic crises; and Australian economic policy. We emphasize Max’s motivation for working on these topics, as he sought to understand real-world economic issues and challenges, and to employ economic theory and expositional clarity in search of policy reform. We also draw attention to his personal life history, and how it has shaped his thinking on major economic and political questions.

  • Bitch the Politics of Angry Women
    Bitch The Politics of Angry Women Kylie Murphy Bachelor of Arts with First Class Honours in Communication Studies This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2002. DECLARATION I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. Kylie Murphy ii ABSTRACT ‘Bitch: the Politics of Angry Women’ investigates the scholarly challenges and strengths in retheorising popular culture and feminism. It traces the connections and schisms between academic feminism and the feminism that punctuates popular culture. By tracing a series of specific bitch trajectories, this thesis accesses an archaeology of women’s battle to gain power. Feminism is a large and brawling paradigm that struggles to incorporate a diversity of feminist voices. This thesis joins the fight. It argues that feminism is partly constituted through popular cultural representations. The separation between the academy and popular culture is damaging theoretically and politically. Academic feminism needs to work with the popular, as opposed to undermining or dismissing its relevancy. Cultural studies provides the tools necessary to interpret popular modes of feminism. It allows a consideration of the discourses of race, gender, age and class that plait their way through any construction of feminism. I do not present an easy identity politics. These bitches refuse simple narratives. The chapters clash and interrogate one another, allowing difference its own space. I mine a series of sites for feminist meanings and potential, ranging across television, popular music, governmental politics, feminist books and journals, magazines and the popular press.
