Is there a similar forum to MN for men? And if not, why not?

[Multidimensionalbeing]

Because I think there should be.

I don't hate men though it will probably be suggested. I really don't. And I think the forum should be open to anyone who wants to use it for advice.

But....It's becoming increasingly strange around here. We've always had the 'what about the menz?' posters derailing threads talking about the harrassment or abuse of women by pointing out that women do it too..... Though it seems worse recently.

But now it seems that so many threads descend into accusations that men are treated differently on MN and often they are. But surely that's because it has a predominantly female membership? Who will see things from the female perspective?

It seems to me that it's causing division and bun-fighting among posters when I genuinely don't understand why there isn't a similar forum available for men?

Why not?

Why does a man join a predominantly female forum to then point out that they're not being treated like a woman? Or....just sit and watch as the women do it for them?

If there is no where else for them on-line then why not?

I'm sure it's possible.

I've seen you doing the NAMALT on threads where women are taking about their harrassment and abuse Krytens. That is throwing women under a bus.

We're all in our place now and submit to your male dominance.

What are you actually talking about? You do come across as very ranting, and definitely projecting some major issues.

No, I haven't. But as is clear from this thread, you and others only see what you want to see.

Krytens This is what I'm saying: you feel piled on, shouted down, etc. So maybe you'd be happier somewhere like www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/ where your views wouldn't be challenged.

Just an idea... I'll leave it now.

Of course they have DustyBusty.

No, I haven't. You really have.

No one has said you are a man in this thread

Read it again

You must be referring to the only thread I can think of, that was "are all men creeps?" where I replied no.

Who said that about you Krytens?

@Emmanuelle

As most of you know, Mumsnet is a site by parents, for parents (I guess Parentsnet didn't quite roll off the tongue!). And everyone, parent or not, is very welcome here as long as they post within Talk guidelines.

Was this really necessary?!

We do know this, but women on here are quite within their rights to say they prefer men to NOT be here, or they don't understand WHY they are here, or that they would prefer NOT to have their contribution, or they prefer NOT to converse with them.

Some women like to have a nice safe place to ask personal questions, without worrying about men poking their nose in, or mansplaining shit, or talking down to them.

The majority of posters on this thread agree with this (and agree with the OP.) There are only a small amount who disagree! surely THAT tells you something?!

I am sure the fervent man supporters are more than happy with your little message though.

YAY for them.

We don't need to feel all men are creeps to just for once, have a female only space. Maybe I should join a knitting group or something.

The only ones who are agreeing sunandmoonshine are the men and Kryten.

Bob,

And Mumsnet HQ....

Just saying.

Well, it obviously is necessary to clear up the confusion as some were saying "clues in the name" "not welcome" etc.
Stands to reason that Mumsnet will state their stance on it.
Is it really the majority? There's a few on here who said they are welcome or have agreed with me. Maybe they're not as vocal but is it any bloody wonder with all this vitriol and name calling if you dare disagree!

Because they can't be seen to be sexist. Just saying.

I’ve sat and read this entire thread and it’s given me the kick up the arse I need to leave mumsnet. I’ve been here in many guises, for many years but this thread contains everything I hate about this place. So for those who are concerned, there’s one non-parent less on this parenting site.

‘Vulnerable women’

I was going to ask why do you need to make up lies to make your point @DailyMailReadersAreThick

But then I saw the speed at which some idiot was willing to believe it and insult my marriage.

I guess daily fail readers aren’t the only ones lacking in intelligence.

Bob - if you really don't want men around, why don't you find somewhere that's more to your taste?

Run out of popcorn!
I was on a thread about guineapigs yesterday or the day before. Does this matter if I am a man or woman?
This is (as stated) a parenting website, I am a parent so I qualify.
I 'contribute' to things I know something about and read with interest some aspects of discussion.
You can have a 'female only' website but one that proclaims it is for parents isn't quite it. Interested to know how you would actually police a female only site.

NewDaddie, would it not be more useful for you to cook, clean, change nappies etc.? It's not as if you're going to latch the baby onto your tit is it?

Im not rereading the whole thing again kyrten

Someone did say something along the lines of

'Some women (and posters who say they are woman)...'

And you seemed to think that was directed at you, even though they said a few posts later that they didnt mean you

You did get called it in that other thread...but i agree with you that its not on

Interested to know how you would actually police a female only site.

I was wondering that too. Upload pictures of your girl bits or something?!

Because this place suits me fine until the men invade. As suggested, why don't YOU find somewhere that you can sympathise with men as THAT might be more suited to you?

Men are not invading, we are welcome or did that bit pass you by?
