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?

Ooh, cest! You're a boy! I did not know that

YABVVVVVU - Although the name says Mumsnet, i thought it was for Parents by Parents, or have i got this wrong?

I came on here recently for advice and I had some excellent responses. It has really helped me out looking at things from myu wifes POV.

Should i leave now?

Im glad that i do not come across any sexist women like you in RL.

I don't think it's particularly either, cestlavie - more of a commentary on my inability to tell the male from the female unless it's explicitly stated in their name or they have a public profile! :)

I'd just like to say that I think MIFLAW is a very useful contributor on any threads to do with alcoholism as well. And Retiredgoth was a good egg who barely posts any more.

MrSpoc! Stay! (but perhaps steer clear of the feminism board)

Oh don't play the sexist card MrSpoc. Men don't suffer sexism to any significant degree in their lives whereas women suffer it on an hourly basis.

Thanks thumbdabwitch, i have not gone over there yet (too scared to look). but this site is excellent in the fact that you get a real peak into the complex minds of women. (and they are even more complex than I first thought lol).

yabu

i like to hear opinions from all sorts of people, grannies, uncles, dads etc

the only think i think a non-mum would be unqualifid to give me their opinion on is the pain of childbirth and TBH i don't tend to discuss that evry often

all are welcome her as far as i am concerned. aslong as we all play by teh rules, no-one gets hurt.

of course LadyBlaBlah, you would know with an attitude like yours.

MrSpoc - go give her the mind meld and see what's going on in there.

I think men find it because they are searching for bumsnet

I think mem on this site is a good thing. Not only does educate them on issues mothers are having but some of them might also be the same for them. I was a single parent of 2 young children for a while so I think I am no different than a single mum (apart from the physical). I think LadyBlaBlah has a point but what your after you won't get on the internet, perhaps there is a local womens only club you could go to. This is the internet after all, a place where race, sex and religion all mix in one big pot.

I know, MrSpoc, how very dare I have an attitude

Are you saying that women don't experience sexism or that men experience it to the same degree?

I'm frankly not surprised you started this, Blahblahblaaaaaaah

You only like hearing others echo back your own opinion.

your input as invaluable as ever Moondog

I'm glad you appreciate it.
I aim to inform and educate the masses.

Oh I have learnt nothing from you, I can assure you of that

i'm a man

Well, helloooooo astra....

You seem terribly angry Lady. I don't think MrSpoc was commenting for his entire gender. I know I rarely do.

Oh God, now I can't remember whether or not I knew SEA was a man either - I don't think I did! See, just incompetence on my part.

I am a bloke .... would you prefer it if I buggered off?

well lonelyperson, you did just make me do a snort on another thread. But I think you might be a right troll.

LadyBlaBlah - I'm saying that may be your experiencing it more because of that attitude and the way you come across.

I grow up in a house with 4 sisters and my mum. I am very comfortable in a female environment. Are you trying to tell me that women are never sexist towards men? Pull the other one.

GabbyLogon is a bloke as well.

he is nuts, mind.

You know, this reminds me of that Terry Pratchett book "Monstrous Regiment" where all the hard-bitten male soldiers turn out one at a time to be women.... only in reverse...
