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?

also, I don't own a drove, so I can't really take to, or from, anything in it.

There's no men on Mumsnet. Just a lot of ladies pretending to be men. Have you never seen the Life of Brian? Pan and UQD and 'Mr' Beta and sitting at home wearing fake beards and burping and pretending to fancy Katie Humble for kicks. Weirdos!

Yeah, and your Ex being a patronising git would be...Oh, wait.

northernrock · 17/01/2011 08:45

Oooh. Manslation though. I really like that one.

Truckulente · 17/01/2011 10:07

Nagathon- a prolonged period of female 'commenting'

UnquietDad · 17/01/2011 10:25

You see, I think "manslation" is actually quite witty and sounds a lot less forced. It's a genuine play on words. Plus there's the opportunity to use it in a positive/humorous way too, rather than just being derogatory.

HerBeatitude · 17/01/2011 12:55

Truckulent - I think some men see the whole of Mumsnet as a nagathon. Particularly the feminist section.

Pan · 17/01/2011 13:31

Truly absurd, HB. Men on here won't stay here if that was the view. Most other men will not have heard of mumsnet. I suspect it's a slur to make you more satisfied in your views.

nagathon is about as credible as mansplain.

The difference with nagathon, is that most people would immediately recognise what that meant. Because derogatory words for the way women talk, are ten a penny.

And I suspect most men don't stay. I suspect most women don't either. So not so absurd. Hmm

Truckulente · 17/01/2011 13:48

Penisprivilege or cockbenefit- the state of being advantaged for possessing a todger.

Pan · 17/01/2011 13:49

we differ, then, HB. Most men couldn't give a rats arse about the feminist section as part of MN.

Lenin - yes, as I ahve said already, and see it happening most days.

Pan · 17/01/2011 13:51

I prefer Pansplain! Reasoned, illuminating, balanced, concise and always interesting!!
