My girlfriend thinks I shouldn't be on here

[CommuterBlue]

My girlfriend of two years thinks it's odd I'm a member and should be on Dadsnet. Is she right or wrong.

I don’t think it’s wrong, if you want an insight into how women think or what they would do then be my guest.

It's only because she may want to post about you!

Welcome to 2 years of Mumsnet ... I don't mind atall ...

It's not an exclusive club!

One of the things I like about this site is there are lots of different perspectives.

Dadsnet is part of mumsnet.

We just don't mention it.

No problem with men being members, but - why do so many male posters feel the need to announce they are men? It’s like the online equivalent of getting a seat on the tube and then manspreading your legs as far as possible!

To be fair, they can’t win. Sometimes people complain that they had no idea X was Male and that they shouldn’t have hidden it.

Thanks all. Seems she agrees with @RangeRider

I think it's a wee bit odd but doesn't bother me

I actually think mumsnet should be renamed to reflect both parents. Dads have just as much questions about parenting.

Doesn't bother me. There are a lot of women on here who aren't actually mum's.

There are plenty of blokes on here. It doesn't bother me in the least unless they are being pervy, twatty or come on announcing that they are male & promptly start mansplaining.

What have you been posting about?

I would be a bit if DH posted on MN TBH. I don't think it will happen any time soon, he says everything on here is made up.

Why are you on here ?

Another, "I am a man on MN" thread, boring.

Welcome, CommuterBlue

I have no problem with men being on MN

I just don’t understand why they need to start threads about being a man on MN as if they want everyone to coo over how special they are

Ya I'd definitely hate it if dh posted here, no problem with men in general on here, just not my husband

Plenty of posters aren’t mums. Lots of men here too.

I feel exactly the same.

Do you identify as a woman? Go on admit it.

It would be odd if the Op didn't state he was a man in this instance as that is the whole basis of the thread surely.

It depends really.

Was this ''her space'' to begin with?

In theory it's good but if you want insight in to women is that so that you can be a better man or so that you gain an advantage. I hesitate to just say yes, 100% it's perfectly fine for you to be here in your GF's space.

Yes OP do tell what you like about mumsnet over the last 2 years ?

I would find it odd if my DH was on here
