To wonder why people on Mumsnet keep accusing each other of being a man?

[DaisyLovesMetronidazole]

I don't understand it at all.

I also don't like the way it tends to be attached to unpopular opinions or posts that others find unsavoury and what this implies about men. I mean, I wouldn't like to read a bunch of men 'accusing' each other of being a woman pretending to be a man.

Can anyone shed any light?

lol , cos on MN the worst thing you can be is a man :)

Yes I have been accused of being a man
I point out that I am actually a cartoon cat which usually shuts them up

I haven't noticed this, but am hideously unobservant. And a chicken.

I've just been accused of this on the sock thread! I'm neither man nor troll. It's really infuriating because you can't prove anything but you're sat there going I'M NOT A MAN!

I wonder if I ever get suspected of being a woman

Sock thread?

Please give us a link, I need to know.

I've never noticed anyone here pretending to be the opposite gender - where have you seen them?

Sock thread?

Ok. I confess I'm a bloke.

Ahhh, that sock

I nearly post to wonder how she got it into the sock and the right angle, but thought better of it.

I love MN

I didn't know you were a Chicken.

I thought you were a factual statement of true truth.

Beta you are a man though, aren't you?

I, of course, am a Laydee. Cos it says so in my name.

One of the ways to win at internet is to forget about the thing being discussed and attack the person saying it, or the way they say it.
If you say two plus two equals fore and I say it equals five, I can say that what you have said is spelt wrong and can be ignored. I win at internet.
If you say that two plus two equals four and I still say it equals five, I can say that you're a man pretending to be a woman so I win again.
Some might say that people who accuse others of being men and therefore wrong are sexist.

As I'm a man, please ignore everything I've just said.

Chickens is a chicken troll because she does have eyebrows!

YOU MAN, YOU! HAH!
