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?

Sorry, first sentence not to BoF but to Lenin. Second statement to 9quoting) BoF.

no not in dispute for me at all. Just idley pondering IF there is male priv. on here. If it reflects a society then possibly. But try telling Anyfucker, Custardo, or colditz that blokes on here enjoy privilge!! ( and I mean that most respectfully!)
I don't feel m.p. here at all. But then I may not recognise it, and certainly wouldn't wish it.

I still find it difficult to understand the concept of men or women as a group.

You've lost me, I'm afraid. I don't think that anybody was arguing that all men inevitably do the 'mansplaining' thing, were they?

Now you have lost me.

We don't??

Anyone found anyone yet?

Pan, I don't think that men on here are in a privileged position (apart from the general societal thing) as posters. But then again, I have seen some women complaining that they feel the male posters get fawned over a little. I remember a particular thread about somebody having a crush on Unquietdad that went spectacularly tits-up, for example. I don't see much in the way of fawning myself, but some people have mentioned it before.

I've seen more fawning over certain posters than over men though.

I agree with you there, Truck.

yes, I was accused a while back of having fawners - I was close with VVQV - remember her? And a couple of others, and that led to a degree of daftness from other posters.
No,I mean male posters having their opinions taken notice of out of proportion. Possibly, but nothing to lose sleep over.

damned right there trucky.

no BoF but downthread there was something not quite to that effect but related. All men are privileged therefore using the word 'man' in the constructin is Ok, according to someone (Coleys I think)

Okay I've read about half the thread and have to say I don't mind men. I like them....as a matter of fact I married one gasp.

I think it's nice to have a man's POV, sometimes I even let DH have one.....kidding.

um...no. "Help Me!" if you will. I am a bit fik tonight.

You'd be femsplaining.

Now I know I am really fik. When truck gets it.

KIDDING!!!!!

Time to do the shopping. Well someone's gotta do it round here. Will ponder my fikness amoung the vegetables.....laters.

ah. Was it the 'nothing to lose sleep over' bit? Like who am I to judge this?

boy this is hard.
