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.

Some people from the feminist board might be quite unhappy though.

I'd hate it if DW was on here. Been a poster for a few years and never been blackballed for being male...

...being an idiot, yes, but not male!

What has the feminist board got to do with it ?

Even the Feminist board is pretty okay, they take no shit, it's why I like it.

I'd find it very odd if DH joined here.

I thought OP had been with his GF for 2 years not on MN?

No I can't imagine why a man would want to be on here really. Well, I can. So no.
You've got the rest of the Internet.

I don't have a problem with men on MN, per se, I just find it a bit odd. What's the attraction?

Why are you on here ?

Because MN has great conversations?
Why not?

I haven't seen op indulging in any "great conversations"

Have you ?

Is your gf on here? Tbh if DH decided to join I’d feel a bit put out... it’s “my” thing.

Op if you want to stay on here, stay ..

If your gf tells you what forums you can and can't be on then that is controlling, after all like previous posters have said there are plenty of men who are members of mumsnet..

And if this was reversed and was a woman saying her bf didn't want her to be a member of the drum every one would be up in arms saying how it was controlling...

So op, if you want to be on the forum, then stay if your gf wants you to leave just so she can tear you apart online with stranger then that says alot about her doesn't it?

*forum...not drum autocorrect

Jesus who cares who comes on here. People are really a bit about their husbands being on here?
I don’t have kids, does that make me a weirdo.
What does having kids have anything to do with liking a parking thread or a CF thread.
Or god forbid! A parenting thread.

Also op seems to give sound advice to people. You know like a normal adult human.

People are really a bit about their husbands being on here?

Well how are we supposed to moan about our husbands on Mumsnet if they’re all bloody members?!

@AngeloMysterioso
Surely with the way you all say secret hobby so it’s not outing! He’ll nrver guess it’s him

Honestly didn't know there was a dadsnet.So I just searched for it.Tbh nothing really interesting on it,I can see why you chose Mumsnet

I can imagine you already. I see them at school every day. 😏😏

Why don’t you start identifying as a woman, and write a thread about it? That would be a nice baptism of fire for you 😂

@Shopkinsdoll
What do you mean?😂

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!

Or maybe - just maybe - it’s because this is a predominantly female forum and it makes sense for a non-female poster to make that clear?

I think it is odd

why do so many male posters feel the need to announce they are men

Because it's "mumsnet", a mainly female forum, and, in the context of certain threads they think it might be deceptive to allow people to believe they are female.

It's odd that Dadsnet isn't busier.
