Mumsnet for men?

[Razorback1984]

Hi
I really value all the comments on here, though find some of the women are very harsh about men - is there a similar site/forum to post and get responses from men? AIBU in thinking men are left out in this area or do they not have the same curiosity as women?

Well how would you know if a harsh reply is from a man or a woman? There are a lot of men who use Mumsnet.

How can you tell which responses come from women?

There is a Dadsnet but I think the men prefer to come on here.

A male acquaintance of mine used to post on here but got banned for his harsh comments.

There are lots of men here but it probably is predominantly women.
If men want their own forum then I'm sure they can set one up 👍🏻

In the kindest way possible, why don’t you just google one? It definitely sounds pretty unreasonable saying ‘women are harsh but I want them to solve my problems’

There you go, there's already a dadsnet.

Have a word. I think it's safe to say that men have quite enough in the world. Honestly, I can't even believe you are for real posting such drivel.

You’ve noticed that women on here are, in your view, “harsh” about men. Have you also been struck by the appalling male behaviour towards women and kids described on here? It still shocks and depresses me.

there's a dadsnet but its dead and I don't think men know about it

You do know that this is a Nest of Vipers?

@youareacuntychops I salute your username.

pistonheads, although obviously a different range of topics.

but there are no guarantees as to who anyone actually is!

Reddit but you'll often get the exact opposite end, where all women are absolutely psychotic and trying to trap you into marriage there (not always though).

this is like those chaps on Twitter who spend 8th March asking when International Men's day is. And then when I go back to them on 19th November to ask what they're doing - complain that women organised loads of stuff for their day but haven't organised anything for men's day.

It's exhausting. Here's the thing though - should they be less harsh about men that are abusing them financially? physically? sexually? Women should play nice, right?

AIBU in thinking men are left out in this area
Yes you are, have you not been online for very long? There's Dadsnet and various support forums on Reddit.

Anyway, what do you mean 'left out'? Its not our job to do it for you. We're mums, just not your mum.

Women tend to get on and do it, men expect someone else to do it for them. You are going to complain thats harsh but Mumsnet was built by the women who needed it. No one did it for them. they didnt get any money given to them to set it up.

And thats true for Rape Crisis, Refuge and Women's Aid, and various other charities that benefit women. All built by women who needed them, started off with no budget and no experience.
Meanwhile men complain there's nothing similar for them and demand the right to use them.

I suggest you look at the rest of the internet

Yes and It's also funny how women need this vital support mainly because of men...but that's a whole other topic.

I suspect op is goading.

Mumsnet isn’t just mums posting. There’s mums, dads, men, women, childless people and childfree people. And unless they tell you (and even then really!) you don’t know who you’re talking to.

Most questions people ask, I have no idea who's asking, but I'll usually assume it's a woman, unless they specifically indicate they're male (or have a username to that effect).

Unless you let people know, most others will also assume you're a woman, so you won't get any "anti-male bias" in your responses (since that's such a problem, apparently). Now, if your problem is that posters you assume are women are "harsh" about men in general, well, you'd probably best just move on and find your own other little niche on the Net.

As a woman, I've come across some true dickhead men online making horribly misogynistic comments. When that happens, I realise that's not the place for me and don't linger. Not every place online is for every person, for all sorts of reasons. Maybe MN isn't for you.
