To dislike it when men post on mumsnet?

I don't know why you would assume:
man here = move aside ladies man coming through, I hereby provide this opinion here on behalf of all men with greater authority, aren't you lucky.

Sometimes the poster might mean that and you can usually tell from the post.

But it could equally mean:
Man here = not claiming any ownership of a female perspective, offering this thought up, but it would be useful for you to know it's from the male angle as that could be relevant to how useful or not it is.

I find it odd that anyone automatically assumes the former and is immediately incensed, and I don't say that cos I think they don't happen, they do, but so does the other kind... Irl and online.

It depends on whether or not I agree with them.

I don't believe Dadsnet has an equivalent to 'the litter tray'

It depends. When they just discuss things normally like women do then it's fine.

I hate the "man here" men, and also the men who hang on on the sex board who are all creeps. And the men who hang out on the relationships board wanting to talk about sex. Urgh.

The sort of men who seek out a female-dominated space where women are talking bout sex and relationship issues are often the exact type of men women are trying to avoid by using mumsnet.

I'm on a long standing thread where I use a different name because of a male who always made comments straight after my posts. He was goady and at one point I thought he had tracked me down in real life. Tbh I was a bit frightened. He's not posted for over six months but he could of changed his name.
I did report him and others had asked why he seemed to pounce as soon as I posted. In principle I don't mind male posters but I think there are some threads that deal with female issues that don't need a male perspective.

I generally really like reading the mens' posts - for an alternative perspective

Yes but if someone is asking a question about the law or horses then a solicitor's opinion or horse rider's opinion is relevant. The fact that it's a man responding is usually irrelevant, unless the poster specifically asks for a male opinion on things.

Mumsnet. By mums for mums.

I agree totally.

Also it's strange that they all seem to be a victim of the family court myths myths 🤔 like we all know family court doesn't favour women (I don't think they favour anyone tbh) and that it's actually not that common women "stop" men from seeing their children you see it loads
"she stopped me from seeing them"
"have you been to court?"
"Can't afford it when they take 50% for child support"
"It's 12% for one 14% for more than one do you have arrears?"
"Yes because I haven't paid it"
"... so you could afford to go to court?"
"No because my >insert new wife car breakdown holiday of a lifetime excuse< so I've spent it"

It's unrealistic it's not like any real life I've ever known it is what i call F4J reality then they come on here and perpetuate the myth this is happening regularly And people believe it!

Agree, I've seen really helpful contributions from men been given a kicking just for being a man which is out of order. I come here because the quality of the conversation is generally better than many other internet forums and most people have the right intentions (still the internet though obvs), so if the men are posting in good faith along those lines, then I'm happy with that.

Stating your expertise is very different from stating your sex. Being a man does not make you an expert in anything, whereas being a sollicitor or someone who has experience with horses might be.

I’ve no objection to men posting here but agree with this. Unless an OP has specifically requested a man’s perspective I cannot stand when posters do this.

As if to say “I’m a man so let me speak for the entire male population and give you poor women an insight into what we think”.

I agree OP. It doesn't always bother me as long as the man who posts is respectful, but there are many on here who only seem to come to complain about women and to stomp on posters who show themselves to be quite vulnerable and often in an abusive relationship.

If a man wants to complain he can go to his own boards, rather than demand sympathy from the very women he complains about.

Lots of people start a post with 'solicitor here' or 'horserider here', and many men might do that due to the rather bizarre habit of some posters to say that any posts they disagree with must be men because a woman surely wouldnt post such a thing, almost as if being a man is a highly suspicious thing that a person must be accused of.

A lot of posters here really hate men and have awful double standards so god knows why a dad would post in any case.

Depends if it's relevant to the context of the thread.

YABU. This isn’t a site just for mums, or even women.

The tagline is “for PARENTS by PARENTS”. Last I checked dads could be parents too 🤔

I don’t like it when people make controversial opening statements and then never come back to the thread. I think they should be banned! Men posting don’t bother me if it’s a genuine query and they don’t get shirty when people disagree with them.

I think more men should read mumsnet, it might help them to understand what women go through.

It doesn't bother me as long as they don't start the post off with "man here" as if they think we specifically want a man's opinion on things.

I start a lot of posts with ‘I’m from Ireland’ because it changes people’s perspective/perceptions- surely it’s better we know they’re a man as they’re living it differently?

Mumsnet. By parents for parents. Generally speaking you need a woman and a man to become a parent.

I think many of the men on this forum are dads as this is primarily a forum for parents and expectant parents (or TTC). However, it has evolved to include childless people too so why should men be excluded?

Agreed 😂

I have no issue, this is like saying only people with children can you use this site too?

What’s the big problem? Sometimes a different perspective is useful?
