Would Mumsnet accept respectful contributions from men?

[Glenlyon]

Do you accept contributions from men? If you did my contribution would be respectful I every sense of the word

Many male posters have been here for years and you wouldn’t know that they are male (apart from the knobs that begin each post with ‘man here’ when talking about something like how many sugars they have in their tea).

Plenty of female posters on here that I wouldn’t want to interact with either.

I usually ignore men on here if I spot them. I’m only replying in the hope that will put you off. Otherwise crack on as you were.

Why are men compelled to announce themselves on here? Just post a contribution like everyone else

Lead on McDuff , l often ask my DH for his opinion or advice when l want it to reply here .

No thank you.

I'd rather men didn't stick their oar in on MN but it's not my forum so I mostly just ignore them.

9 times out of 10 men just come on here to ask how they can get their wife to fuck them more often.

9 times out of 10 they get sent packing - by mumsnetters and their wives.

I've no issues with men on here as long as they come across as decent types. Just go ahead and contribute and remember you don't need to announce that you're a man unless it's actually relevant to the discussion. It usually isn't.

Cheers! That might be once of the nicest things anyones ever said to me!

To answer your earlier post where you asked I don’t understand the mentality of men who want to be on here, I'm actually here because of plumbing advice. I googled a plumbing issue many years ago and the correct fix was on a Mumsnet thread. And then I just kind've hung around because AIBU was entertaining and I found the different perspective from the rest of the internet enlightening and interesting.

I don't often make my own threads, but on occasion this place has been an absolute godsend, like when DD had her first period while DP was halfway round the world. It's informed my opinions about the world as well, I'm Gender Critical because of Mumsnet, I stopped using porn because of Mumsnet, I understand what DP is going through during peri-menopause a bit better because of Mumsnet.

The paradox is that I think most men would be better partners, Dads, and people in general if they spent a bit of time on here. But the more men that do that, the more that Mumsnet loses that overwhelmingly female voice, and becomes a lesser resource as a result.

You’ll know they are male if they are talking about relationships or something along those lines.
If an OP starts a thread and doesn’t say they are male, it usually comes out in the course of the thread.
I would say if they are not just lurking, you will generally know if someone is a man.

The vast majority of posts from men on here end up being a whine about sex - the only other one I remember was a newly single dad who was really struggling with parenting - often wonder what happened to them

I'd rather men didn't post here, but if you do post, then don't tell us stories about how you are a saint with a crazy ex who won't let you see the kids.

They don’t like it when you say ‘man here’ so I prefer to just go under the radar.
