If it's a site 'By parents for parents', isn't Mumsnet a little sexist? We've all seen how members here react to any sort of anti women agenda so is this seen as acceptable because it's anti dads?

Pssst, don't tell Afternoon she's got the laxatives

I mean it, first its buttons, next it'll be a looted Babylis Big Hair from Currys! You're all on the slippery slope.

Chaotic has already won.
She was awarded 1 Mumsnet and some chocolate buttons.

Honeydragon, you're being alienist.

How do you know that MN isn't being accessed from outside of Earth?

That's narrow minded, that is.

TrillianAstra · 20/08/2011 00:23

Didn't we have EXACTLY the same thread about a year ago? Confused

Young couple decided we were all doing it wrong and it was offensive to men. It made me laugh, briefly.

Shock You had chocolate buttons last night and didn't share?

Yer Barrstards.

Mitmoo · 20/08/2011 07:39

Not read whole thread but should we change the name of "Fathers4Justice" to "Parents4Justice" and "Families need fathers" to "Families need parents"?

TheMagnificentBathykolpian · 20/08/2011 07:57

Watch With Mother should have been Watch With Parent

Pagwatch · 20/08/2011 08:12

Should have been

' watch with parent or guardian but not for too long because it isn't great for children too watch too much tv and while I think of it put those crisps away tat isn't a healthy snack'

Thesiteforpeoplewholikewhat'sonthissite.net

In fact ALL sites should be called that and just given a number to differentiate. I am a mother but am not a 'mum' so of course I too am being foully discriminated against here.

It's a problem in rl too. Battersea Dogs' Home? It should be Battersea All Animal Temporary Set of Holding Pens surely?? What about Trailfinders? What if you don't want to find your own trail and just want a comfy laze in the sun? There's a brand of shoes called Camper that have nothing to do with camping. Everything needs changing. It's madness.

WMMC Yup I thinks it's going to be a regular thing now. Might be worth asking HQ for a new topic

Worthy Pointless Ideas from People who have no clue.

Then worthy people could have a proper debate and everyone else including HQ could hide it.
