- men coming on MN?

[iwantedaSindywardrobe]

Now I have no problem with men coming on here and declaring that they are men but seeking a female perspective on something. But there seem to be men who lurk and men who post pretending to be women on here.

I've read a few posts recently where there have been quite a lot of misogynistic comments (not saying women can't be like that) and some of those posters are clearly men. Mostly posts about how how women and girls are subject to sexually inappropriate or manipulative behaviour by males.

Why are men coming on here and doing this? It's a public forum, I get that, but it would never cross my mind to go on a DadsNet or equivalent forum pretending to be a man just to slate men and their particular experiences.

Is it just me who finds this odd and creepy?

I think male pps should get a yellow star by their usernames so that we know who they are and can ignore them.
Or simply have a genital examination upon registration and extreme vetting anyone with a penis.

OP, did you really mean that title, BTW?

Hi all, I'm a man and expecting my first baby at age 46, fort I would join up to get some ideas on how to support my younger GF. After reading some of the comments on here about how some females think about men I think the whole human race maybe doomed.

how some females think about men I think the whole human race maybe doomed.

TBH, I'd be more worried about how many men (and in power) think of women.

Yes, good point Lweji!

matt - welcome to MN and congratulations on your baby. Have a good read around here and you'll - hopefully - learn a lot about what your partner is going through and will go through during birth. And then what both of you will go through in the early days of a having a new baby.

(And also the whole 'how men treat women' thing ...)

Welcome Matt. Grab a pew! And congratulations on the pending new arrival.

Wow matt, so you think female thinky thoughts will bring the whole human race crumbling down? I'm a bit more concerned about the willy waving going on between the male world leaders but maybe you have a point.

Gosh, don't let your younger gf read this site matt, feminism is catching!

@ Lweji
Yellow stars like Hitler made Jews wear?
Then ignore all posts by men. So how is this going to forward any understanding?
Men posting all have a point, whether it is true or false and EVERYONE is entitled to an opinion. As a 'reader' you have to decide if what is written is for you or you disagree.
At the end of the day if you don't like it you turn the computer off and do something else, that is your choice and unless you are into 'hate mailing' no one gets hurt.
@matt, the real support threads are great on MN can take a lot of time and be addictive however, time better spent with newborn and partner.

LOL at everyone except dame being all nice to matt even though he calls women females.

outabout

Lighten up.

Did you read the bit about genital exam?

Not sure how this works so sorry if I'm wrong.
Question, should I cause an argument asking about something that's not happened yet and stop it becoming real life or just wait for it to happen and have the argument anyway?
I'm not talking life changing things just ran of the mill daily stuff.

I think that was Lweji's point, outandabout. It wasn't an accidental reference.

It wasn't an accidental reference.

Thank you Annie.

Is there any correlation between those who object to men posting on here and those who are perfectly happy for 'women' with penises to intrude into women's toilets?

Sorry matt

Do you mean in your relationship now

So baby on its way and you think you will differ on its upbringing?

I don't know matt, what do you think.

You have a super high opinion of wimmin don't cha, I can feel it coming of you in waves.

Matt

Argument here or at home?

You should try talking.

We let women post in the Dadsnet section. (If they can handle the pace)

I may have posted before on Dadsnet.

Didn't realise we were "allowed" to.

We I'm giving you permission now. Just leave the toilet seat up when you've finished in there.

Well now "We"!

Just leave the toilet seat up when you've finished in there.

I don't know, my mummy brain means I'll probably forget to do it. I may even close the lid.

Liking the s, but I hope they don't become a feature.

Why do men not want to use Dadsnet? Presumably someone asked for it?
