Mumsnet was always a safe space to me, a community of women for women and recently I have noticed an influx of husbands on here.
Can't women have anything just for themselves?I t's getting on my nerves!
(I'm not talking about same sex marriage / partners and I believe in equality).

AINBU Men please seek alternative forms 😊
AIBU Men belong here 🙄

People can post where they like. Policing the Internet is silly.

Nowhere on the Internet is a safe space.

I like the idea of me seeking out advice about parenting and general mental load. Women as whole want men to equally pull their weight and good for them for taking the initiative to do something about an area where they lack knowledge or want advice.

Well they sometimes need educating too I guess

It's not the men who annoy me.

It's men (and women) who think they're on reddit.

Copy pasting OPs from reddit is the worst.

“safe space”?

WTF there are lots of different topics on Mumsnet that are applicable to either sex.

My husband might google something to do with our daughters - and it directs him here - should he not look because he has a penis?

teeny teeny tiny minority

just ignore and move on

but the idea of campaigning against men from posting on the site simply on the grounds of fact they are a man is pretty abhorrent to me.

Spend 3 mins perusing some of the chats and you will see that someone’s unpleasantness is not linked to their sex
