to suggest that Mumsnet is quite sexist against men?

[Eckhart]

I don't know if it's just the threads I've been on. I don't know how many men use Mumsnet.

Sexism either way makes me equally uncomfortable. How do other Mumsnet users feel about this?

You had posters state they are men and they don't feel Mumsnet is sexist. Why not question them further ?

I've questioned everything I wanted to question and I presume everybody has said what they want to say. It's not about questioning people.

I was just making the point that 'I guestimate 90%' is... well, an opinion. Of somebody who is offering percentages without having counted the totals or calculated anything.

The YANBU and YABU %s are upthread, counted and calculated. That's as much as we can know. I think it was 46/54 in favour of YABU.

Panic and run, who is this “we” or are you royalty? Do you not mean “I”?

Plan I'm guessing that she's saying 'we' to refer to her and other likeminded women.

We don't think it's healthy to speak for anyone except myself

I am talking about those who have stated their sex as male. They have pretty much to a mansaid they dont consider it sexist.

They can only speak for themselves as individuals though can't they? Perhaps many more men would say it is sexist.

I disagree. Perhaps we could agree to differ?

OP YANBU

@birdsdestiny Anyway, if you're arguing that it was mostly women who think I wasn't BU, what point are you trying to make?

I think its interesting that you are asking if MN is sexist towards men and the men on this thread have said no. I think that's worth noticing.

Can you stop tagging me. I am here

Panic speaks for likeminded women, but I'm sure Pedants' Corner would applaud your wit.

I think if you were very selective about the threads you read, and the posters you concentrated on then you could paint the forum to be biased in whatever direction you want

OP said they might be influenced by the type of threads they read. I read a really wide selection, not just "my dh is..." i like the ones about parking and chocolate bars and tipping but i read pretty much anything that catches my eye

Birdsdestiny sorry for the tagging, I'm not sure of protocol as I'm new on this (or any) forum.

Why do you think it's worth noting? If women are being over ridden by men all the time, why does their opinion suddenly become part of your argument? Why don't we focus on listening to the women (in your opinion)?

easyandy yes, I don't notice any sexism either way on, say the 'It's a dogshouse' board. I originally posted the thread because of the responses I saw on the thread about Primark making their changing rooms gender free. My point oon that thread was that the changing rooms should be secure so that nobody feels they can be intruded upon. It was received by a barrage of responses saying 'THIS PERSON WANTS AS MANY COCKS IN WOMEN'S CHANGING ROOMS AS POSSIBLE!!!', and then many hours of my defending innocent men against many angry women who feel intruded upon by Primark (and others) changes.

I've been called all sorts on these threads. I didn't realise what I was starting!

Your last post doesn’t make sense.

But nice trans drip feed!

Because you are claiming concern on behalf of a group those from the group on this thread have disagreed with you.

and then many hours of my defending innocent men against many angry women who feel intruded upon by Primark (and others) changes.

Why do you feel the need to defend (innocent) men?

God that was terrible sentence construction.

@Eckhart

Still here??

That was aimed at myself not you Panic.

I love the centering of women on Mumsnet. it's a refreshing change in life/the world

I've been called all sorts on these threads. I didn't realise what I was starting!
Of course. The faux naïvety strikes again.

Poster had no idea what they were starting by creating a thread asking why women are so mean to poor men and is MN sexist.

See also sealioning, which amusingly the OP claimed to have no idea what it is, as they engaged in insincere debate and claiming they just wanted to hear different opinions.
