Don't know & don't much care. I surpass I think of this as a parenting site rather than just mums (despite it's name)

There may be lots, who knows. I do know that there a quite a few male posters (altho I spose they could be women pretending to be men)

Why do you feel that you need to pretend?

No, I think it started like that and they got stuck with it. Like Carphone Warehouse, innit.

There are lots of dads on here. I'd namechange if I were you, unless you want people asking you for advice on mooncups.

You can identify yourself how you wish but if you want to pretend to be a woman you might want to brush up on your knowledge. I head over to the feminist section if I were you. Probably followed by a stint on the feeding section then relationships.

I have less of a problem with dads posting than with people who don't have children posting. Not sure why need to pretend.

(that was for wanting baileys in a mooncup. Not for pretending to be a mum, although that's a bit Hmm too)
