This thread has fair warmed my cockles. I'm surprised there hasn't been any support for the OP as I've heard that view before.
Some men just have more in common with women than blokey blokes. A lot of my closest RL friends are women, but mostly from before I met DW (not that she's the jealous sort, it's just worked out that way). Now that I'm a Dad I've got more in common with fellow parents and this is the best parenting message board; great advice, scathing wit, sheer silliness. No bloody tickers.
My DW is away all week so I'll be looking after DS, taking him to the CM and working, picking him up and making his tea, bathing and putting him to bed. All the things any working parent has to do.
Why wouldn't I feel at home here?
Many of us have unequivocally male nicknames or state so on our profile specifically so no one falls into our evil clutches unwittingly thinks we're women, which I think is a reasonable concession. I don't flirt on here to any greater or lesser extent than I would in real life, where I also occasionally talk to women.
To be honest I think it's a bit sad (if strangely gratifying when it's yourself ) that if a man posts about a problem his DP or child has he's virtually greeted with trumpets, a ticker tape parade and a chorus of 'Oh you're wonderful, your DP's really lucky'. What, for vaguely giving a toss? Is that really so unusual?
