to think men seem to have taken to MN in their droves recently......and I don't like it

[LadyBlaBlah]

Every thread I go on, there are men putting forward their opinion

I have enough of men in RL. AIBU thinking they should bog off to DN or go play the X Box or something?

coley - I do understand the concept - are you this objectionable in RL? - it's just rot, for reasons other's have explained to you, but you choose to not hear. Thank you.

Truck, do you dislike/fear the women who use S&B?

Not all of them subscribe to the idea that they must look a certain way to please men, or something.

Lenin, do you mean that in comparison with a woman (or man?) who hates men, someone who speaks with no understanding of the female situation would be mildly treated?

How is that relevant? (sorry, don't understand)

Coley, you've been told.

Mansplaining doesn't exist.

Except in your head. You're imagining it. Or lying about it. After all, no-one's ever done it to meeeeeeeee.

I thought he was just joking

No, S&B is fab. Try starting a thread on Asics Gel Kayonos. I'll join in! Or just hold your coat.

my post was to Cabbage

Salt, Lenin is a chick

Just goes to show guessing sex based on a persons words doesn't really work well.

Chick as in woman, lass, gal, bird. Not sure which is still Ok to use. hope no offence.

Lenin I'm still not clear on what you mean - what, that people calling someone a man hater hate the object of their discussion, or, erm, you've lost me.

Now you really have lost me. I hope I haven't denied anyone's experience. I certainly didn't seek to for any reason.

Vive le revolution! Whose revolution though?

X posts, sorry - I do understand, now, thankyou - yes I can see where it may have come from.

But terms borne of the battlefield are seldom useful in peacetime.

Hang on, there aren't any undercover police on here watching out for subversives are there?

But not on this thread, are they Lenin? I meant that. By all means in the thick of it, whatever gets the point across - but surely it isn't necessary where women are NOT being treated badly?

Cabbage, did you not notice further down the thread, that Coleysworth was told point blank by CraigPan, that mansplaining didn't exist and it was all rubbish?

That's on this thread. A perfect example of someone from a privileged group, telling someone categorically from the opposite group, that their experience is irrelevant. Mansplaining, in fact. How else could we describe it?

one handed typing. just now:

DH: hold this i have glued it
Me: i am busy i am on mn. how long will this take??
DH: till it sets. i don't know. what are you talking about on mn?
DH: Whether we like men being on there
DH: Tell them men are too busy glueing and fixing stuff for all that posting

and they say feminism is dead ....
