The case of Eric Richins, whose wife Kouri was recently convicted of his aggravated murder, is a case study of a man’s entrapment in an abusive and ultimately fatal marriage. Not surprisingly, however, his killing has not been discussed as an example of intimate-partner violence.
Hundreds of men—over one thousand in 2021—are murdered in the United States every year by their wives or girlfriends. But we are told repeatedly that because these murders are only a small percentage of domestic violence murders, they are of no importance.
Eric died in his bed on March 4, 2022, of a lethal dose of fentanyl that his wife Kouri had bought from her house-cleaner, Carmen Lauber. Eric was 39 years old, a successful businessman and father to three young boys. Kouri wanted Eric dead because she needed millions of dollars to save her house-flipping business, and killing him was the only way she could procure it. A pre-marital agreement had ruled out the usual method by which wives access husbands’ funds.
Last Christmas, one of Australia’s major suicide prevention groups had a call from a very distressed, suicidal man. The counsellor did his best to support him and arranged to keep in touch. But there was no answer to the counsellor’s follow up calls. Following their organisation’s duty of care rules, the counsellor made a call to NSW police, fearing the man was at imminent risk of harm.
The police reaction was shocking. “Is there a female partner who could be at risk? Is he likely to hurt her,” asked the police officer, whose immediate concern was not checking on the man in crisis but rather assessing the risk that the suicidal man could be violent.
Welcome to the latest triumph of feminist policy innovation: a system that looks at the man standing on the edge of the abyss — the group dying by suicide at three times the rate of women — and decides the most urgent question to ask is not ‘How do we save you?’ but ‘Have you been hurting women?’ It is a policy of breathtaking intellectual dishonesty and moral inversion.
It all started in Victoria but could become official policy across the country The 2021 Victorian government’s MARAM Framework Document is prescribed for over 6,000 organisations and approximately 392,000 professionals in Victoria, including mental health, drug/alcohol, homelessness, family and health services. The Framework is based on the premise that significant numbers of men who commit suicide each year have a history of using family violence. Responding to suicide risk “should consider the risk of the person using violence to themselves, their family and community,” explains the document.
Helen Andrews and other critics of feminism are right. Women destroy civilisations. Emotions, empathy, and female solidarity trump rationality. Nothing is too absurd, crazy or insane if it satisfies the dogma of the woke religion.
The treatment by feminists and their gutless male supporters of an 85-year-old man for a comment that was unexceptionable for centuries – even for time out of mind – demonstrates a society in steep decline.

85-year-old Hockey Scout Is Pilloried for Calling a Reporter “good-looking”
Nothing is more feminist than cruelty in the name of decency
Terry Bonner (right) in trouble for telling reporter Cami Kepke that she is a “good-lookin’ girl”
The story is now a common one: an older man disgraced and punished for a “sexist” offence. In an instant, his reputation is shattered. Previously respected in his work, he becomes a target of contempt and hatred. Few defend him in his hour of need, and abundant sympathy is expressed for his alleged victim(s), whose harms are often imaginary.
Last weekend, it was Canadian hockey scout Terry Bonner who was put in the stocks. Bonner is the head scout for the Vancouver Giants, a Canadian junior hockey team that is part of the Western Hockey League, with 23 member clubs that develop talent for the National Hockey League.
Bonner is 85 years old, with over two decades with the Giants. His offence was to tell a pretty young female reporter, Cami Kepke, that she was good-looking. His exact words were (as seen in the clip here, which has now been viewed over 2.5 million times), “Well thank you very much, you good-lookin’ girl.” After that, he chuckled and sat back in his chair, whether in embarrassment or satisfaction it was hard to say, and continued with his answer.
For that moment of indiscretion during an interview—Kepke was congratulating him on the Giants’ third-round draft pick and asking what the player in question, Eli Vickers, would bring to the team—The Giants have been fined $5000 by the Canadian Hockey League for “conduct detrimental to the League.” Meanwhile, unctuous apologies, statements of feminist rectitude, and exultant finger-pointing have broken out all around Bonner. This moment of humiliation may well be Bonner’s last public appearance.
A graphic report of the 7 October Islam/Hamas attack on Jewish women and children has been released. I found a report of the diabolical atrocity on the website of a Dutch online newspaper. It had a link to the Daily Mail Australian online edition. It is below.
I’m constantly reading news reports on the internet. Nowhere have I seen a reference in the Australian media to SILENCE NO MORE, a report by THE CIVIL COMMISSION ON OCTOBER 7TH CRIMES BY HAMAS AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN. Why?
Why have Australian feminists remained silent? I’ll tell you: because most belong to the ISLAMO-LEFTIST coalition.
The photo collage below is of a girl who has been viciously, mercilessly raped. The muddied blood on her pants tells the story. If nothing more happened to her, she could count herself lucky. Other young women were raped to death, shot in the face, beheaded while being raped, had objects rammed up their genitals, had their breasts slashed off – it’s all in the reports. It’s nightmarish stuff that a normal person couldn’t think up.
October 7 barbarism beyond all imagination: New report details how terrorists performed almost unimaginable horrors – which some on the Left STILL cast doubt on
Among the mutilated and butchered bodies of young women slaughtered on October 7, it was their colourful, polished nails that many of the morgue staff remember.
Bright, beautiful, shiny, pink manicures glistening amid the pervasive ‘grey and green’ of death were often the only reminder of who these girls had been just hours earlier.
Because Hamas-led terrorists had not just executed these women. They had ‘deliberately and systematically’ defiled them, as the most comprehensive account of the atrocity released by The Civil Commission today shows.
The terrorists shot their eyes, their faces and their breasts, and even targeted their most intimate parts, to destroy their beauty and rob their loved ones of a final goodbye.
Women were stripped, bound, stabbed, shot and burned. They were executed both during and after rape amid an orgy of violence in which 1,200 people were killed and 250 taken hostage.
Heads were decapitated. Pelvic bones shattered. Even after death, sexual assault continued.
A grotesque, medieval obsession with sexual organs pervaded the crime scenes at the Nova Festival and in the Kibbutzim near Gaza.
Feminists would predictably charge Alexander Grace’s video with misogyny. There are, however, thousands of examples of such thinking on TikTok and similar social media platforms. I direct the reader to the next posting about Janice Fiamengo’s claim that women destroy civilisations.
As I’ve said before, many times, most men have no idea of the hatred women, particularly young women, have for men. You only have to be five minutes on TikTok before you’re exposed to a woman in her car ranting to her camera about males.
It again raises the question of the security of Western Civilisation, as people like Janice Fiamengo (see a following post) have done. This is not to exaggerate the issue. Men have to wake up and organise to meet the threat to a civilisation whose roots lie in Rome and Jerusalem.
The combined forces of fearful feminists and morally perverted men have humiliated Australia and made us the delight of backward, barbaric countries and their leaders. You can almost hear the shrieking laughter coming across the oceans to Australia.
