Would you prefer men not to post on MN?

[XYWithBabyOnTheWay]

I'm a man and I've just had my AIBU thread zapped, and it's made me sad.

My wife and I have been preparing for the birth of our baby (PFB) for most of this year.

I discovered MN while we were TTC, and have found it to be a great resource for all the worries and questions that naturally come to you at this time in your life. My DW reads it too sometimes, but not as much as me! I've posted a few threads myself, and got some great advice on some serious subjects.

I also discovered the more light hearted side of MN like Chat and AIBU, and quickly became slightly addicted to the funny, crazy and hilarious things people post.

Today I decided to post a silly story about me drinking gravy from a jug my wife had previously had a wee into (for a urine sample for one of the many antenatal appointments that all pregnant women have). Yes the jug had been washed in between! I was hoping to perhaps make a few people smile, like many other threads have done for me.

It was tame compared to some of the bodily function threads I read about on here. Yes I name changed, but it was a bit embarrassing - and many many other people do the same thing for their TMI posts.

Clearly some of you didn't like it, and have reported me and got the thread removed. Is is purely because I identified myself as a man?

It would be a great shame if the knowledge and resources of a site like MN were made less available to men who post openly.

I'm not going to flounce, but I think when I post in future using my new account, I wont draw attention to my sex - then I can join in the fun without being excluded.

Hmm. The more responses attention you get, the more you relax, so I'm going to stop playing this game now.

Do stop all the talk about survival though. It's the fucking internet, there is nothing to survive.

why shouldn't men post on here
to not allow them too is sexist
and MN hates sexism

Thanks rootypig

@ used shiiiit... left my wallet at home cheque?

What was Wenger thinking, sending Walcott on that early?

I've found that if people don't find a story in any way amusing, just keep repeating it over and over. Oh, wait....

That'll do nicely ... ( Gives up on Mexican accent and thread )

Hi. Firstly I can only speak for myself here, but I have absolutly no issues with men posting. I have always got on better with men, even though. I am a proper girly girly..
I have had read through these comments and I have been quite disgusted, but that's clique women for you. Flame away ladies, truth hurts doesn't it !
Also who Iw anyone on here to dictate whether you can post or not. If you feel discriminated against have you spoke to mumsnet.

Oh and good luck with your impending arrival. X

I think you're trying a bit too hard OP, and come across as a Heeva.

Maybe lurk for a while, and lay off the attention seeking, pervy "wannabe an Internet sensation" stylee. We don't need a MN clown, and we don't need some bloke to amuse us, and "make us chuckle".

Hope you got what you wanted from this thread.

So you have your answer. It's not your penis it's your posting style :)

A recent survey showed that 98% of women on MN are hairy truckers or posting on behalf of hairy truckers. I certainly don't have a penis, oh no, not me. Lots of bosoms though. Many many many bosoms.

There used to be a design-your-own conservative poster website, but I couldn't find it.
