to be highly pissed off that there are still men on Mumsnet?

[Swedes]

Tenacious little bastards, aren't they?

dad not mum or instead of mum, or whatever his name is

Feel free to complain about 'women who aren't even mums' taking up valuable MN space too.

I think we need more men on mn

Can you tell us what you mean exactly, Swedes? (Can't you have a day off abstinence on Lent Fridays? Or did I just make that up??)

Oh still! I read it as "aren't more men..."

I think there needs to be less judgment of other people's parenting, it isn't easy. I'd like to see more solidarity, some threads saying how well another parent has handled something rather then ones bitching about what someone's done.

see if you can guess who this mumsnet bloke is then...

Ohhh Squonk!

Well I feel deeply ashamed as it was really meant as a joke. I was hoping to draw out Threadworm and IorekByrnison to continue the discussions we had on this thread

I like men

I like them too, but they have their locker room shit and we have mumsnet.

phew!

I couldn't believe you were serious, so refrained from wading in with a well placed "off you fuck dear"

I think MN needs a serious section and a not so serious section so we can choose what we wish to answer. And some more men!

I actually have a very lovely and supportive DP. But he would rather gargle with sand than Mumsnet.

I like other peoples men being on here,
but dh no way mn is MINE

I definitely think that mumsnet should be for just one partner in a marriage (or similar)

It'd be like going down the pub to whinge to all your mates about what a twat he was being, only to find that he was sitting there drinking a G & T and listening in to everything you said about him!

I am drawn out Swedes. I stand by my claim there that it is quite enriching to have a very few men around (they make the place so much prettier you know) but that it would be an awful shame if the numbers of men crept much higher than they are now.

Its not like they were real men anyhow. I mean, what real man would choose to hang out on Mumsnet?

My DP likes to read funny threads that I show to him, but I'm not sure how he would feel about participating.

He says the men who are on here are only allowed because they are funny and he is not amusing enough to be accepted.

I've met one.

If he's not a real man, he has a very good, flattening bra

...

That's not what I call a good bra Squonk

Is it a bit like cross-dressing then? It's OK for other people's partners/husbands?

Anyway, we appear to have twin cocks on all the emoticons, so that's enough masculinity.
