To think the majority of MN'ers are very hypocritical?

[BobbyElvis]

Do you agree? For example, please compare and contrast these two threads I have read on this forum today...

Post 1.
A woman found out her husband had been to a strip club. 12 years ago, before they were married, on a drunken stag do. All fairly normal behaviour for most stag parties. No cheating, just a strip club. The reaction to this was unbelievable - almost all posters urging this woman to leave a happy marriage. This woman reiterated that she was very happy in her marriage but the consensus was STILL - LTB.

Post 2.
A woman kisses a man on holiday and lies to her husband. All of the replies apart from one tell her to sweep it under the rug and not hurt a happy relationship.

The double standards here are absolutely disgusting. I can guarantee if the thread was started by a woman asking for advice after her partner had kissed a woman on holiday the replies would be LTB.

Why is it okay for a man to be kept in the dark but not a woman? Do the women on Mumsnet have such low self esteem that they can't handle their "DH" looking at another woman on a drunken stag do but will happily have a drunken fumble in Spain for a quick confidence boost then laugh about it with their friends for years to come?

Do you have a thread to back up the statement about the stupid reasons?
Where the majority said ltb?

DP who's still quite young and goes out with his friends a lot but works hard and is a good Dad when he's around.

Meaning he plays with the kids for the couple of hours he is actually at home with nothing better to do?

No evidence to back up your sweeping statements littleen?

And Even if it were true that Mumsnetters all say ltb at any minor infraction (it isnt) how does that make them hypocrites?

"Meaning he plays with the kids for the couple of hours he is actually at home with nothing better to do?" - pretty much yes, that is what I meant.

Worse than a really good Dad, better than no one, you might have a SuperStar DH but not everyone is so lucky....

I am rather suspicious that the first thread has been totally misrepresented because I can't see that being the way it was going. Unless the bloke also has a load of gross misogynist habits still going on to the present day, I can't see MNers screaming to LTB.

But then the OP looks like they have scarpered so....

Worse than a really good Dad, better than no one,

I'd disagree. A bad dad can be worse than no dad.
But, separating doesn't mean no dad. In the example above, playing with the children for a couple of hours and being largely absent doesn't make a good dad, even for those couple of hours. Anyone can play with kids for a while.
And a separated father can still play the same couple of hours with his children. So, I don't see why a pp shouldn't LTB in that case.

Me Mumsnetter speak with forked tongue......
