Mumsnet? why are men encouraged to post on here?

[vonstingerrrr]

Is this Mumsnet (a board for Mums)? If so, why do you allow men to post on here? Why can't they contribute to their own discussion boards.

Arf.

I suggest that the OP needs to go and found her own website - MumsOnlyNet. As far as I am concerned, mumsnet is just fine the way it is.

In fact, I think we benefit hugely from having mums, dads, grandparents, childminders, nannies, people with no kids at all etc etc here - they all have interesting points of view and different insights to offer - how can that be anything but a benefit??

Ok, sorry. It wasn't clear to me when i read it.

What a very strange thread
How do people feel about polar bears posting on m'ums ne't?
It needs to be changes to mumsandbearsnet. Change it now.

And how did she not get the rogue apostrophes in the title, but get it wrong every time since then? Or has a pedant at MNHQ got sick of reading the title in its incorrect form and changed it?

I vote we keep the men. If just for the eye candy and sex appeal

I like the men on here especially Pan and bgd,so vonstingerrrr you need to find another site such as madasaboxoffrogs.

She's entitled to her opinion. I think you're all jumping down her throat a bit.

There's only ONE 'man' here that ever made me want to commit murder and that was N1, but men have men only stuff. I think it's not abnormal to sometimes prefer if things are women only. I'm not saying that that's what I want for mumsnet, but I'm saying that it's not a totally abnormal point for somebody to make. I'm sure she has her reasons and she's entitled to her opinion same as everyone else.

Yes, she's entitled to her opinion, but I don't think that it's reasonable for someone to turn up in a group that's well established and works well, complain about a particular part of its set-up, and expect it to change.

The vast majority of people seem to be happy about having an inclusive mumsnet, and I think that the site benefits from all the different experiences and points of view that the different people bring. If the OP cannot see this, or honestly wants to be part of a mums only parenting group, then I'm afraid I think she has to look elsewhere for what she wants, or found it herself.

It would be the utmost selfishness to expect the group to change just for the OP's benefit, wouldn't it.

Niceguy your more than welcome to shop in mothercare as posters said i was quoting the op. the last paragraph was just my sarcastic response.
