aibu to think mn should be for mums and not dads.

[2hot2cook]

id like to think that when i come on here for a quick chat im talking to other women. ive noticed some men on here and thats actually putting me off. some of the topics we talk about are very intimate. i cant understand why men would want to come on this website, maybe the name should be changed to parentnet. aibu.

Euuuuuurrrrgh! PINK?

We hairy truckers like pink

HABBIBU; probably not a problem having "virtual male friends" as long as they are fully clothed when posting, and dont breath to heavily near computer.

How would you know if they were clothed and breathing heavily or not?

2hot, I do believe you are teasing us...

i like men - any men, virtual men, name disguising men, MN-Curious men, intimate conversation seeeking men, damn it men,men,men

I'm a man, and YANBU at all.

Let's be honest; I'm not here to discuss parenting issues, try and assist others (usually in Geeky Stuff), nab ideas to keep DS happy, make life easier and get the insight of others into the business and problems of being a parent.

I'm here because I'm a hairy-handed pervert, and reading posts about rude women in Tesco, debates over appropriating disabled spaces, discussions about children feeding poo to the dog and mudslinging matches between SAHMs and working mums gives me thrills...

Yes, you are being unreasonable. Most men's parenting sites are either dead, or swamped with "the bitch took my money and I'm planning my revenge" nutjobs. Why shouldn't I visit. Check the tagline...

Men in general don't appear too interested in networking/chatting. I get on with women in RL, and picking people's brains on here is just an extension of that.

If my non-obvious maleness is causing problems i could change my username to make this obvious (something like DANGERDANGERDANGERKEVLARHEADISAMANPROBABLYAPERVERTPOSSIBLYAPAEDOPHILE might do...). However I can see that the MN collective have already made the point I wanted to...

kevlarhead;
yes, but i dont want to talk to men, and i feel i should be able to have a chat with women, without a man joining in. sorry.

I like men who share their geekiness!

Well, then I suggest you find/found a site that is restricted to women, 2hot. Because MN isn't and it's not going to change to suit you.

Even if you do set up a 'no men allowed' site, you won't know whether posters are male or female anyway. Unless you design some amazing software that analyses the user somehow without them being aware.

Oh 2hot, just when I thought you were beginning to chill...

but perhaps kevlarhead is really a woman, just pretending to be a man in order to make a point

2hot, I tell you what, as of now, don't post on any threads you havent started. And then on the title say WOMEN ONLY PLEASE*
Then post your question.

Oh my goodness! I can do nothing but think the the OP is on a wind-up!

YABVVVVU!

There is nothing I could say that has not been said already.

But because it's a forum I'll say something anyway

flibberty jibbet iggle bod crink!

And all men are welcome

at Kevlar - fnar fnar snigger - "probably a perv"

o dear 2 hot - are you kidding? whats so awful about men joining in? my dh was a SAHD for a while, and he found exactly your attitude often, in one o clock clubs and parents and toddler groups - the attitude that parenting is some how a mums domain, and that its ok for mums to get together and exclude dads - that made my dh really miserable and sad. Honestly. I really think you're a leeetle bit strange being so insistent on the anti-man stuff. Men, you know, sometimes, are not weirdo pervos with paedophiliac tendencies. Seriously.

This is so silly and quite insulting really from the OP.

If you feel uncomfortable discussing private things why the hell are you on a public forum?

What makes you even think that us men even read some of the topics? I have absolutely do desire to get involved or even read a lot of the sections on here cos what help would i be even if i understood it anyway?

I just use it occasionally to chat to other parents about parenting stuff - not to read about female problems.

Dealing with my DW's is more than enough for me. I certainly don't want to discuss complete strangers or even read about them.

It must be a windup.

I worry for the future if someone is really actually that blinkered about men.

i doubt it very much

ericl; understand your point of view. i would never post anything remotely intimate on here, but some women do. dont know why anyone would think im on a wind up? just because id rather talk to women. why is that a wind up?

note to all men on here; not ALL women want men around 24/7. give us a break. ( well, me anyway)

if you have no intention of posting anything remotely intimate, what does it matter?

So far 2hot, you've been the only one with that pov on this thread.

And i think your point has been received now.

you norty men

stop talking to 2hot

she doesn't like it

If you are not on a wind up then i think you have quite a worrying and distorted view of men.

Not that i'm that bothered to be honest.

I think i shall now seek out all of your posts and answer them all immediately with my annoying masculine point of view.

I'm sure i shall enjoy speaking to you on a regular basis.

LOL eric.

hee hee eric - don't forget to perv while you're doing it

(do you want to borrow my outfit from the other week?)
