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?

or construed even.

Saltatrix · 16/01/2011 18:25

No Lenin I would not describe myself as one although I do understand some of their views.

Xenia · 16/01/2011 18:26

I hardly ever see men on MN which is a shame.

Pan · 16/01/2011 18:51

odd that isn't it Xenia, when you read the thread title. As far as I am aware there is only 15 or 20 men posting on MN at most times. On a site of thousands. I don't think Lady has said where these droves of men are. Maybe we just move around a bit to make it look more.

Thats because its a talk board Xenia - no pictures. But if you look at the liks people have posted above, you will see some men. :)

How do you know what gender anyone really is on here? I have the word mum in my user name but i might be a great big balding bloke, you only know what i tell you.
Maybe you should think of the posters on here as people rather than men or women.

The Internet

lochnessmumster · 16/01/2011 19:14

Exactly Saltatrix.

Is someone who does a meandering argument while whitesplaining a 'WhiteSplains Drifter?'

Is it possible to Ablesplain to the disabled? The possibilities are endless.

UnquietDad · 16/01/2011 19:32

Actually I think I may have been "youngsplained" at once or twice by someone in their 20s. This could catch on.

Saltatrix · 16/01/2011 19:35

Maturesplain? Healthysplain, Attactivesplain (sexyplain which sounds better)Smile

Pan · 16/01/2011 19:35

or someone describing crime novel plots whilst also taking the piss is doing a MickeySplain?

excellent game!

UnquietDad · 16/01/2011 19:36

Wouldn't an unattractive person Plainsplain to the attractive?

The other day someone attempted to tell me in a very patronising way that my choice of bubbly chocolate bar was inferior to theirs. Yes, they were Aerosplaining.

Politiciansplain I am sure many have felt this one

Snorbs · 16/01/2011 19:39

So would First Capital Connect's pointless lies about why their services are always late be TrainsPlaining?

UnquietDad · 16/01/2011 19:39

There must be a word for the whole "I know what bringing up kids is like, I've babysat my two young cousins" thing too.

Saltatrix · 16/01/2011 19:40

Nokidsplain?
