I think we're due a name change. Just looked at Relationships and 3 out of the 4 top threads are by men.

Is there a parentnet.

'By parents for parents' seems to be sufficient.

Heaven forbid men would like relationship advice off women. Are men allowed to comment on threads started by women?

Can't we all be friends?

I don't think we're due a name change, but I do think of this place as more of a 'womensnet' (which doesn't necessarily exclude men.)

I would think a site could mumsnet is the perfect place for men to post to get s different perspective than their own.

Lots of non parents post here. No need for a name change. Everyone would call it mumsnet anyway (I actually called starburst opal fruits yesterday).

Are you unhappy about men posting? The vast majority of posters are (or appear to be) women.

No it doesn't need to change. Yep more men are posting (which I'm a bit dubious about tbh) but that doesn't mean MN has to fall over themselves adjusting it appropriately so the menz don't feel sad.

I've not seen one man asking it to be changed. We were here first and all that ....

This again. Yes there are men and non parents on mumsnet.

There's lots of non parenting non gender/sex related topics on here.

Sorry it just seems to be a topic that comes up on here a lot. Either whys it called mumsnet when there are men, or some sort or outrage that men and non parents would have the audacity to post!
