men on mumsnet

[LittleMi55Nobody]

ladies..just wondering..are you fed up of men posting on mumsnet..why don't they start their own "dadsnet/mansnet" group..im getting fed up of obvious "male" comments undermining our woman issues....quite honestly id like them to fuck off cos im not interested in their opinons on womanship

Once you’ve used the term “whataboutery”, you may as well go home.

😆😆😆😆

Literally is a legit question

If men aren't allowed on basis of the MUMS part of the name then surely neither are non mums?

IF men could be sexually attracted to each other?

Do... Do you not know about gay men? Or bi men?

And men exploit each other all the time

This is such a dumb post

"There's no need to tell me I'm wrong when I make ridiculous comments"

Women who think that men should not post on a parenting forum are unlikely to provide sound advice on [checks notes] “womanship”, or on any other topic for that matter.

Wasn't a complaint! I was just responding to a comment asking where the impression this was for women had come from

I meant inappropriate posts about children 🤦🏼‍♀️

Sorry - I have a tendency to post late at night - when I’m tired (I’m in Australia).

I have mixed feelings about it TBH.

It helps to have a mans perspective on things, sometimes.

Also, they seem to come here to seek the guidance of women.

Maybe they don't have anyone to reach out to for an objective opinion for their whatever situation.

As long as they aren't rude, I don't mind, overly.

YABU. I see far more issues with the women on here (and their passive aggressive, blunt and often really rude responses) than men.

Absolutely 100 percent agree. I would NEVER post on a site called Dadsnet, no interest at all. Decent men don't post here, so right away as soon as I see it's a man I assume he's a pushy wanker.

Yep, you're right. I do not welcome them at all. The world is full of pushy, loud mouthed men, if I want to hear them talk endlessly at me there's no problem at all finding as many as I like.

And yep, men (as a sex) are far more aggressive about sex, ignorant and pushy when it comes to women's sexual experiences and far, far, far more likely to post something really dodgy about children.

The decent men, like my husband and adult son, would have no interest in this place at all, so unfortunately that means it's mainly annoying ignoramuses who want to troll, lecture, be disgusting, minimise or otherwise throw their weight around who turn up on mumsnet.

As a happily married woman who has no problem at all with men in general, they do not belong on mumsnet and I wish they would just fuck off.

Feminism means we get to vote, and they get to make the occasional post on Mumsnet. Equality and all that. I feel pretty OK about that trade off personally.

Eh? Nobody said they CAN"T post on mumsnet and that has nothing - absolutely literally nothing at all to do - with feminism or voting. What a bizarre non sequitur.

What women are saying is they wish that men would just fuck off from this one site. Men "get" to do whatever they want most of the time, everywhere, and it would be great if they would simply fuck off from this one site.

YANBU, I think it's worse when it's men who pretend to be a woman posting while attacking womens rights. This site should, by rights, be a safe space from that.

Yep, it does. I've said that myself on here yet was shut down. They out themselves with their language. They genuinely don't realise that we know from their language. Males are such a different sex that they truly don't know what it is that we know and they don't.

I don’t think men should be on Mumsnet. I particularly dislike the white knight who declare they are men and therefore are the voice of reason. What kind of men do we think hang out and opine on MN?

Calm down, it's not that serious, it was a joke 🤣

Calm down, don't take yourself so seriously, nobody else does 😅

Absolutely agree.

If you replaced the word ‘men’ on this thread, with any other demographic or group, it would be ….

yeah.

Nah. There are two sexes, and they have different concerns and ways of looking at things. Women of ALL races, cultures, ethnicities have the SAME concerns worldwide. Women of ALL races, cultures, ethnicities are welcome on sites built by women, for women.

Ah nothing like some man hating.

honestly get a grip love. Men are wonderful, I have a grandfather, father, husband and son and all of their opinions are valid and welcome on all topics the internet is no different. It sounds like you need to develop the skill of ignoring opinions you don’t like and moving on with your life.

*small psa the men in my life are great I know some men are complete sh I t heads.

Yeah because defending womens rights and spaces automatically = "man hating". 🙄It can't be that we have a valid reason for not wanting men here. Oh no! Those nasty wimmin picking on the men!

Not sure women in war torn Ukraine are worrying about whether their sons will get into Eton 🤔

Dads in Kensington might be.

I must have missed the 'women only' caveat when I signed up. I might have reconsidered joining if I had.

I'm completely ok with the 'as a man' posts, as it can be a) useful to hear things from that side and b) good to know that's what is happening. I don't think I've ever seen one that's been written from a 'therefore my opinion is more important' standpoint, but I wouldn't be surprised if they exist - but I'm also sure that they get short shrift in that instance.
