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.

"im sure alot of women feel as i do"

actually, judging from this thread I say we don't

I'm the one who mentioned your orang-utan gene, and I'm a woman and I have my own battles with hair where I'd rather it wasn't.

I think this thread shows that most posters DON'T feel as you do. Or maybe they do, and they are too scared to post because they think there might be a man on this thread!

Nightynight · 06/10/2007 13:52

2hot, I know what you mean, but most of the time, if it is a really girly or intimate thread, I just forget that men are reading it as well!
they do contribute a lot, and it would be a leeetle unfair to ban the lot of them. Not sure it would do much to prevent wars, either!

Lol irene, I dont think she posted that!

MascaraOHara · 06/10/2007 13:54

I think it might be fun to think of ways you could ban men.. maybe everyone should have to submit a picture of their fanjo before being aloud to post.. but then, what if a man got a picture of any old fanjo off t'internet.. oh the dilemmas

Seriously if you are that hung up on it, there maybe a better sitre for you.. I don't care whether there are men here or not but I think the idea of sefregation in this day and age is ridiculous.

maybe we could have pictures of our fanjos next to out alias - or fanjo style tickers.

vacua · 06/10/2007 14:00

2hot2cook · 06/10/2007 14:01

dont think anything wrong with me just because i dont discuss "womens issues" with dh. dont think it would interest him in the slightest if my period was 24 days one month and 28 days the next?.

You know there are men on the site and you are typing out your monthly cycles for all to see including men. You, you ....
