'Man here'

'Male opinion'

Please just stop it. Unless your post has something to do with your genitals (in which case probably don't post it) it has no relevance to what you are about to say.

We won't all stop, draw breath, and think 'finally! A man's opinion. We can all stop debating now'.

It just makes you look like a pompous mansplaining tosser.

It's interesting though, one man comes on and makes a "women are/ do this " over some inane thing and all hell fires loose, constantly reminded that no not all women are like that. Loads of posters write sexist often more serious things like paedophiles, rapists, murderers and a man points it out and then gets the standard ok we get it NAMALT Hmm

DadDadDad · 11/09/2016 22:09

DrSeth - you've probably gone, but you don't have to let a few awful posters colour your experience of what can mostly be intelligent debate. For example, like most people here, I'm simply going to ignore user1473537716 and her goady post, although there's plenty that could be picked apart in what she said (for example, apparently overlooking that it was another woman who cried "womansplaining").

ShouldHaveBeenJessicaFletcher · 11/09/2016 22:12

As women we can apparently write what the fuck we want, regardless of how hurtful or unkind it might be.

As I have found out today.

Mumsnet will eventually lose all male input because of bullying.

StillDrSethHazlittMD · 11/09/2016 22:14

Dad I'm still here for another hour and a quarter until my self imposed deadline when I shall self destruct! It's a cumulative effect, not user's inane comment.

ShouldHaveBeenJessicaFletcher · 11/09/2016 22:18

He's here for another hour and a quarter until that 'culmulative effect' takes place. Looking forward to it, Dr Seth.....

MooPointCowsOpinion · 11/09/2016 22:54

Ick.

AverageGayLadAtChristmas · 11/09/2016 23:00

It's so "look at me" to decide to join one of the most prominent women's forums

Awwwwww look at the ickle trollface who's too cowardly to get a username!

Dad I mentioned mansplaining, I assumed user was attacking me?

Also - I'm a gay care leaver who isn't even completely white - so actually, sunshine, I don't get anywhere near as many privileges as your average straight white male.

ShouldHaveBeenJessicaFletcher · 11/09/2016 23:10

AGL We need guys here.

Stay. You're awesome.

As is DrSeth

HelenaDove · 11/09/2016 23:14

You dont see many men on the body shaming threads..............just saying.

AverageGayLadAtChristmas · 11/09/2016 23:15

Jess I was hoping you were still up!

Don't worry, nobody can scare me away Wink

ShouldHaveBeenJessicaFletcher · 11/09/2016 23:17

I'm glad AGL

Nobody should ever feel bullied into leaving a public forum Wink

StillDrSethHazlittMD · 11/09/2016 23:19

I hereby appoint AGL as my successor to keep an eye on Jess, Helena and the other naice women of MN. I know they will be safe in his hands (although they may need to find another man for certain other requirements that the Dr used to take care of)

AverageGayLadAtChristmas · 11/09/2016 23:21

Aren't there pills DrSeth? I'll just take one of those.

IlovesLiz · 11/09/2016 23:22

10 mins to go. Is Dr Seth going to slink out of the back door or leave with a fanfare?

AverageGayLadAtChristmas · 11/09/2016 23:22

Oooooooh also, even if you won't be here will you still lurk?

StillDrSethHazlittMD · 11/09/2016 23:24

Iloves I did think about grabbing a hand grenade and taking the evil people of MN down with me....

IlovesLiz · 11/09/2016 23:25

That's an act of terrorism. I don't find that funny.

ShouldHaveBeenJessicaFletcher · 11/09/2016 23:26

Ten minutes?! What the hell are you doing on this thread, then?!

AverageGayLadAtChristmas · 11/09/2016 23:27

Well you'd better leave some carpet cleaner. Jess would love you munching her carpet I'm sure

IlovesLiz · 11/09/2016 23:27

Four

HelenaDove · 11/09/2016 23:27

Does anyone remember a poster called ineedabodytransplant. He seemed quite nice but i havent seen him post for donkeys.

ShouldHaveBeenJessicaFletcher · 11/09/2016 23:28

He won't go without saying goodbye....

Will he?

IlovesLiz · 11/09/2016 23:29

Probably name changed like I bet what Seth will do.

StillDrSethHazlittMD · 11/09/2016 23:31

Iloves Apologies Liz. I would never intentionally mean to upset or offend. And no, I won't be name changing and coming back. Really not my style.

Bye all. So long and thanks for all the fish, as Douglas Adams once entitled a book (not that I've ever read any of his stuff). Look out for yourselves.

The Doctor has left the building

HelenaDove · 11/09/2016 23:35

I think a lot of ppl left in the wake of hackergate Iloves.
