Have seen so many instances where this seems to be the case.

Threads where someone's dp is fighting for access to his children and where she has been told that his ex obviously must have good reason for withholding access. thus implying that the mother is always right and that bitch women who withhold access deliberately don't exist.

Threads where a man has been on the verge of an affair and his wife has been supported and the man is automatically branded a selfish twat, and yet there have been threads from women who have been on the verge of an affair and they have been given sympathy and support.

And today two threads, one where a man was violent towards his partner in a one-off incident (even though the partner was a selfish cow) and people are calling for his balls and telling her to leave him, and another where the woman is the one who has been physically violent and still it is the man who is painted as the wrongdoer and she is getting sympathy.

Just seems to be one rule for men and one for women.

Absolutely wannaBe. Have only read your OP (will read back) but it irritates me so much that there's seems to be an inability to see men and women as people rather than as completely different species. We are all people, many of us behave badly or irrationally but it seems that on Mumsnet, if a man acts irrationally he is some kind of ogre.
