to think this competition wasn't really fair?

Just looked at the shortlist of winners for the bedtime story competition. Two of them are men. Doesn't seem fair,though I know lots of people will disagree. It is Mumsnet after all,not Dadsnet!

Clawdy · 28/01/2013 19:07

No.

WilsonFrickett · 28/01/2013 19:08

Why unfair? Are you serious?

WorraLiberty · 28/01/2013 19:08

Kunk?? Blush

OP what's the problem exactly?

If men are eligible to enter, what's the problem?

KurriKurri · 28/01/2013 19:09

Um

Did you mean to say 'well done to the people who got on the shortlist' ?

MissyMooandherBeaverofSteel · 28/01/2013 19:09

Really Hmm

TheVermiciousKnid · 28/01/2013 19:09

Really? Seriously? Hmm

TandB · 28/01/2013 19:10

kunk off, worra Grin

Why is it unfair? Don't you think men and women can compete on an equal footing?

AmandinePoulain · 28/01/2013 19:10

How would you feel if a man was up in arms about a woman winning something? Hmm

MikeLitoris · 28/01/2013 19:11

Ffs.

Op you are coming across as an idiot.

I really hope you are either taking the piss or a troll

Clawdy · 28/01/2013 19:11

Well done to the mums who got on the shortlist...

I'm going to get my bet in right away - this is going to one of those rarest of beasts - a unanimous YABU!

I'm also going to bet the OP wasn't shortlisted....

WorraLiberty · 28/01/2013 19:14

I wish you'd try it...

Clawdy · 28/01/2013 19:15

Ha ha,you are right, kungfupanda.....I love the taste of sour grapes!Grin

LynetteScavo · 28/01/2013 19:15

Is the woman a mother, OP? Otherwise, lets disqualify her now!

LynetteScavo · 28/01/2013 19:16

And could someone please link me to the shortlist? Smile

MissyMooandherBeaverofSteel · 28/01/2013 19:16

You do know there is a section on here called Dadsnet don't you OP?

TandB · 28/01/2013 19:17

Well, at least you're honest!

Trazzletoes · 28/01/2013 19:17

OP, of course YANBU Hmm does that make you feel better?!

No one should even be allowed to use this site unless they are a Mother. But does that include mothers who have adopted? And those who have had surrogates or... Or... The list goes on.

Don't be so bloody ridiculous. Of course the competition was fair. Has it crossed your mind that it may have been less fair to exclude men?

TheFallenNinja · 28/01/2013 19:18

I'm just about one of the hairiest, blokeish brutes that you might see walking down the street, I have a full beard, tattoos and will stand at a bar effing and jeffing with the lads whilst swilling pints of bitter, but I love mumsnet, and the very hungry caterpillarSmile

WorraLiberty · 28/01/2013 19:19

How do you know what sex anyone here is unless you've met them in RL or seen them on a web cam?
