To not really like it when men post on here?

[Username91]

Just that really. After reading not one but two bullshit threads started by men in the last few days I’m just a bit sick of them posting on here. I love mumsnet. I’ve read interesting threads, hilarious ones, heartbreaking and sometimes infuriating ones and I just feel like saying ‘oh piss off’ every time a bloke sticks their neb in. It’s MUMSnet ffs. I know I am being unreasonable really and am a massive hypocrite as I’m not (yet) a mum myself haha and don’t actually contribute anything of value to this site myself but still….they get on my tits.

That's a good comparison. There's always that one annoying man at the pub that isn't good at reading the signs.

Precisely. Men on this forum are creepy. Can’t they get on with some sawing or joinery or something instead of lurking amongst women? I can actually visualise what this one might look like:

How the bloody hell did you know i was a joiner 😂Im actually off work with covid just now so i have too much time on my hands.As for the pic ...hes probably better looking than me 😂i really dont see how any of my posts were creepy..

You do not even use the apostrophe properly. I can’t be bothered with badly expressed and poorly punctuated posts.

A university educated joiner? They’re the only sort I would employ. Somehow I doubt you are…

No worries Cam.Sorry for the bad punctuation.

I find men being on MUMSnet (clue is in the site name) creepy! The appeal of this forum is that this is a space for females to talk about inherently female (XX) lived experiences like TTC, periods, DV, menopause, childbirth, relationships, sex, careers etc and the target audience is female.
There was a post a while ago about IM’s being sent to OPs that had posted about sex and these messages were from men. I get the impression men have ulterior motives for being here.
Men should use DADSnet!!

Oh dear. Not that cliché. 😆

I concur.

Did i say i went to Uni??I left school at 16 to do a 4 year Carpentry and joinery apprenticeship and made a decent life out of it 😊

That is EXACTLY what it’s like.

Well like I said earlier, no "tactics" needed to show you up. You don't just get hoisted with your own petard, you strap the thing on willingly and light it with a blowtorch.

Why are you still here? Don't tell me it's because it entertains you, you have no sense of humour. You're determined not to do anything that could amount to self-improvement so if you're such a good guy, what's your motivation by this point?

I dont doubt what youre saying but fortunately not all men are the same.

No university degree? Not even one? Doesn’t sound terribly fascinating. What are you even doing here…

@MNHQ is being a persistent PITA against TG?

Literally nobody here cares about your life story.

You have derailed the thread, men tend to think they are saying the most important things, which is why lots of us don’t want men on here.

Reminds me of the intruder in Motherland.
So cringeworthy.

Its called sticking up for yourself.I think we'll both agree this arguments went too far.

Yes. Who the hell cares? What a bore.

Just. Go. Away.🙄

Cam mentioned Uni for some strange reason so i told her what i do.Hardly a life story.

Nope

Do you mean:

”…this argument’s GONE too far.”?

It’s not an “argument”. Nobody is in the least bit interested in you or your ilk.

The appeal of this forum is that this is a space for females to talk about inherently female (XX) lived experiences like TTC, periods, DV, menopause, childbirth, relationships, sex, careers etc and the target audience is female.

What about cats, dogs, diy, neighbours, education, music, books, films, even parenting?
None of those are inherently female.

If MN contained just what you listed, I'd agree with you (and also have no interest in being on the site) but it really does have a much wider scope.
