How do you men feel about the man-bashing that goes on here?

It pisses me off, and I'm a woman.

Men bashing?

I remember one thread a couple of months ago where there was some serious character assassination of a bloke who "painted emotional portraits". Having a dig at blokes in general or your anonymous DP/DH is fine, but when you can idenitfy the person, it's a bit too much.

Anyway, we take the piss out of ourselves a fair bit when we appear to be over-stepping the boundary - see e.g. Man of the Year awards.

We chaps on MN are in touch with our female side, but can you ever imagine an "Am I being unreasonable..." thread (let alone a whole topic!) on a mens' discussion forum? You can just hear the chorus of sarcasm and abuse which would follow...

People only look at Football 365 for the lookalikes anyway.

P.S. If a woman speaks in a wood and there's no-one there to hear her, is she still wrong? [emoticon for running away quickly followed by handbags being thrown]

In reply to a few early posts on this thread, haven't time to read whole thing...

There was a thread by a man a while ago on the aibu board, complaining that his wife was a lazy so-and-so. It had a pretty fair response IMO, people just listened, debated, argued, discussed.
He didn't get thrown to the lions.

About the 'men-bashing' versus 'women'bashing', I think there has always been a huge predominance of male abuse of females as far as I am aware, IRL...that's why the second phrase is more offensive than the first. Men simply don't get bashed as much as women IRL.

SR - apart fro mthe fact this is pre-dominantly a female chamber, the fact that women face all sorts of horribleness, just for being women, leads me to think "big deal" when a bit of generalisations come out. Usually.
Whilst it can grate a bit, in the bigger picture of life, we men have it a damned sight easier.
