to think this competition wasn't really fair?

[Clawdy]

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!

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

You sound like some of the Mums at my DS's school

Aw, Ninja you sound cute! Were you a shortlister??

Men telling bedtime stories?
Are they peeeeeedooooos or has the world gone mad?[scared/doolally emoticon]

Clawdy, get a grip.

Please.

Ok. Will try...

All Grandmas should be disqualified as well as they have their own site in Gransnet.

Do you agree OP, based on your reasoning for Men not to be included you should do.

No,because Gransnet was included in the comp!

Yes, but Dadsnet is a part of Mumsnet (like AIBU) so was also included.

Evening all.

And no, we don't think it's unfair that two men were listed in the shortlist of 20 for the Walker Books comp: after all, the competition Ts & Cs didn't exclude men (as if we would anyway).

It was in the Ts & Cs that you had to be a registered user of Mumsnet or Gransnet but men are allowed to join Mumsnet (and Gransnet), you know.

Well done to all on the shortlist - which you can see here

Yeah,guess i am really....

There's a shortlister with the surname 'Fellah'

Philip and David could be short for Philipa and Davidina....

Dont be sexist
