I think you do see a lot of ridiculous male posts (or at least the ones who are open about being male). When you see the arrogant ones (who yep I agree always seems to start with "man here" and always contain some level of twatwaffle) it can be off putting because we deal with it in real life so much it tends to create a visceral reaction.
The ones wittering about it never being intended as a female only space are being deliberately disingenuous as it takes some stupid mental gymnastics not to see there is a level of implied (but not guaranteed exclusive) female majority in the use of the word Mum.
All that said I can roll my eyes at the obvious men trying to be king of the castle (they never are anyway) and can appreciate that there are brilliant male posters (few and far between mind).
However even if you were to ban men (in theory before people froth....as a thought exercise ) it would do no good because the amount of women on here who have internalised the pick me mentality and are so viscerally desperate to seek men's attention by protecting them with mental gymnastics that any national team would be in awe of ruins any female space anyway.
I am the furthest thing from a man hater. I have two ds and rage against the idea they are inherently violent or dangerous because havig spent many years working with violent offenders i know that idea os absolute rubbish. I have a male dp who is the furthest thing from being sexist you could imagine. It doesn't mean I don't understand how insidious and unpleasant systemic misogyny is.
Mostly people with more than one brain cell can understand more than one issue. Mostly people can understand systemic misogyny is not the same thing as a specific male perso n.
I have more of an issue with the disgust I feel at women who will tear down another woman in a heart beat, using mental gymnastics akin to pretzel legs to make men seem innocent cuddly creatures as a group. Hell half of them even try to undermine and belittle other women over apparent non male issues without even seeing the misogyny that's causing it. Anyone who has read the absolute stupidity of how often towels , jeans etc should be washed will see how disgusting the need to tear other women down for the most vapid reasons is.
They do this with pride, with fervour, completely missing the underlying misogynistic crap they are guzzling to make those arguments.
At least men I can see coming so let them stay until women stop playing at being men's mouthpieces on here.
So many posts that women use practically as a "I'm not like other women, teeeheee , I don't wear makeup and do anything like these silly women , how silly they are having differnt likes and dislikes that might be entirely for themselves because obviously everything is intended for the male gaze....please god look in my direction...drop me a crumb " , even believing there aren't that many men here. They are desperate.
So personally I'm fine with men here while those posters are here as well. You can't legitimately get rid of either.
