Men who dislike MN

This is not a TAAT, as in it's not specifically about, only prompted by a DH in AIBU who is patronising about MN and I thought the points raised would be interesting to discuss here in general.

IME, men who are patronising, dismissive, and make just generally hate filled and revolting comment about MN/MNers are basically misogynists who dislike women and probably feel threatened.

Interested to hear others thoughts, so I can express mine better! That sounds like a journalist, I'm not as you can see from my history and name!

Not a thing I have ever done.

I have no problem. The fact that you left the thread and made another on this section to gather the support you needed is telling though.

Rainbow you do realise this is the FWR section? Do you have a problem with me wanting advice specifically from this group?

Perhaps you should return to the other thread if you don't want to discuss it intelligently here?

Mumsnet is a litmus test for who is or isn't a misogynist. People (men and women sadly) who dismiss it generally don't have a high opinion of women.

Who cares what they think though? This site is a treasure. It would be worse if men were trying to muscle their way in.

Oh jacques you've summoned them now. I look forward to the "as a man" posts!

I don't need to read it again. You posted it in the other thread.

As I said @rainbowconfetti I thought the points raised would be interesting to discuss here in general.

Perhaps you could read my post properly and a make a useful comment to contribute to the thread?

There are a couple of male posters on MN who are very obviously misogynistic dicks.

I haven't seen the particular comments but it strikes me that men who hate mumsnet are extremely angry that posters here refuse to mother them. Refuse to pander to their every whim.

They do not seem to understand that just because we are somebody's mother does not mean we are their mother. That we are not required to spare them a second thought. That we are free to ignore them, disagree with them, not give a shit about them. This makes them extraordinarily angry. They have not progressed beyond the toddler stage.

Ate you just talking to yourself because everyone ignored you on the other thread ?

FFS, re above, I mean to say that if MN don't delete it as being too TAATy I was going to post my comment I made earlier on a thread to explain my thinking a little more!

For fucks sake - anyone minimising this, what do you think about the snakes with tits comment?

Would you be happy with your DH/DP - or your DSs saying this about women?

Apart from the laughs on here, there is lots and lots of intelligent advice and support and it infuriates me when we are dismissed by men. I had a particular tricky problem at the weekend I mentioned to DH and his first question was "what does MN say to do?" He has also used it as a SAHD for advice on our DC with SN. This isn't particularly note worthy just because he is a man, it's just showing that he respects MNers - women - for their knowledge and opinions (and being funny as fuck) in general.

I simply couldn't share my life - or condone his attitudes/behaviour to my children - with such a dismissive, patronising, sexist fuckwit.

PS Mumsnet solved my problem for me - of course they did!
