This is new and interesting!!!!!

[LordPan]

try this!

Oh, here we go again. "Men" are rubbish and "men" always do this and that...

Is Lord Pan a man?

hi cornsilk.....and does it really matter?

Men are not rubbish.DP has been coping with dds problems much better than me at the moment.He canbe a prat at times but has been particularly gorgeous tonight.I am the one who has been cracking uo and he has been so sweet.Lovely DP.

whoops!

Missed this one as well.......

Ahem, I commented nicely about MY dh...

yes, REBEL, but I am not being individualistic about raising it at all. I'm sure he is a lovely man, and you deserve each other in a good way.

Well I think so, lol.

I do dislike sweeping generalisations.

But then I think we're all guilty of it now and again.

Indeed!!..just when the generalisations cover an entire gender, it gets a litle.... irksome.

or'little' even..

I hate 'man bashing'.

But I am confident in saying that, because I have a good, balanced relationship

I dislike stereotyping and generalisations.

well this site is claled MUMSNET so ou can expect a fair amoint of men-bashing

alothogh I am sure non if it is justified

it's a parenting site.

and yes, of course, I would be a fool to not expect 'some' of that stuff. But that doesn't make it okay, IMVHO.

Shouldnt have to "expect it".

Certainly expect someone to bitch about their partner, but there's a difference between moaning about your DP and saying "all men are shits".

Clearly this is not true. My DP is wonderful and amazing, and Pan is gorgeous and lovely for a start. My Dad - well, he's the best dad in the world - save for DP.

and perhaps, on reflection, it isn't called "partnersnet" either, so gender-bashing is not licenced by the title "mumsnet"...

I now - I didnt say it was a mussm site - I sait it was called Mumsnet. and by its very nature is prdominantly female. And a lot fo womena like slgging off me.

tbh I thk this site is prttyt fair when it comes to the male/female relatiosnhp.

lordP do I kwnow you?

I disagree that you should expect man-bashing.

Having a whinge about specifics is one thing.

Sweeping generalisations are unacceptable.

Eye thang yew.

naswm..I don't think so. You were just about the first poster I repllied to on boards, about a year ago?? But, not since, no.

what makes you think so??

I didnt say I agreed with it, but I said on a site entitieled MUMSnet, used predomintiatly bywomen, it would attaract some men bashing.

I am sure if you went on any of the makle sites there wioudl be simlar 'wife abshsing' threads. 'my dw has a headache' or simsialr.

maqybe I am wrong

you may be right,naswm..but still, not good here.

IMVHO...as REBEL says...complain/let off steam about individual failings of partners is fine..but the "men are/do/don't do" etc....wee bit unfair..

Beauty sleep calls.
