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.

[gobsmacked]

Just stop it. I hope you're a troll, because I can't believe a regular poster would be so vile.

freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkk

oh dear..

well i'm a lone parent with no help from my ex.....bu i can stil happily accept that i shaare the planet with other men too!!

don't think the name will be changing any time soon

oh haha very funny

I meant I know of one man - and before you start taking the p*ss - he's a widower with young children - I'm sure there may well be others, just I don't know everyone who posts here, and no doubt some men post with posting names that don't "reveal" that they're male.

If you don't like it here there's a little X up in the right hand corner of your screen - click that - and don't let the window hit you on your way out.

I am not the only poster who looks at mum's net and thinks the way I do. So it is Parent's net?? Let men post but be honest with your name. you are NOT mum's net. If you want to be a parenting board then make that clear on this site. x

well im sure that MNHQ will apologise profusely for not getting your approval before launching this site.

After all they have clearly got it wrong seeing as they only recieve some 250000 posts a week.

obviously its all those confused parents out there.

also think it's particuarly vile because of the subject it's posted in. Yes there are some lone mum's on here who have f*ck all help from their ex's - however I'm sure there are just as many that have exes that are stil very much involved in their child(rens) lives and as such are still parents even if not residing with the resident parent.

Do men have huge arsssses.....?

you could try 'flouncers corner'

and shouldn't YOU be on 'gransnet' anyway??

How much more fucking clear do you need with with a logo like the one up there ^^^^

And Men shouldn't be allowed to change their children in mother adn baby cubicles? or buy them a sleep suit from Mothercare? or take their child to mother and baby group? or attend a bumps and babes club?

grow the fuck up or piss off

Unless you're the female equivalent of a misogynist (is there a word for that?) why the hell does it matter that men post here?

LadyFoof - I believe the term is misandrist (although the feminists would argue that it's a made up word )

I am not the only poster who looks at mum's net and thinks the way I do. So it is Parent's net?? Let men post but be honest with your name. you are NOT mum's net. If you want to be a parenting board then make that clear on this site. x

it IS clear...it says on the logo....'by parents for parents' how much clearer do you need?????

Thank you always, I knew a word existed but my brain is addled by ANGER!

All words are made up at some point or other . Misandrist is fine.

No, alwayslookingforanswers I am not going to move sites. This is Mum's net and I am a mum and a nan. Movingoutofblighty - I am not a freak. I repeat what I said earlier - this is Mum's net. Get Dad's to post on their own sit. If they are committed then they will set it it up on their own. What about Dad' net. I will let my granddaughter's father post any of his problems their. Come on men, take control

Makes sense now, your daughter is a single parent, been hurt by the father of her DC/'s. You now hate all men because of it and you're on a mission to prove women are the superior sex.
Lets make mumsnet an exclusive all-female club where we can talk about how brilliant women are are not give any man on the planet any credit for their parenting skills or any help and advice cos, lets face it, they're all shits.

Bugger off and stop causing trouble, there's a good troll.

well the site is perfectly happy with men posting. the other million posters here are happy with men posting.

but you seem to think it should all change because you dont?

and you are.....?

other than ignorant, bitter and utterly disturbed

READ THE FUCKING LOGO

Fathers are parents too, some of them are SAHD's, some of them are Lone Parents, some of them are working parents, some of them aren't even parents but care for children.

Or are you trying to say that fathers should be shoved in a corner on their own and not treated as equal parents - with the same concerns that mothers have. That a SAHD is "unworthy" of asking questions from SAHM's or (heaven forbid) answering questions that SAHM's (or WOHM's - sorry not meaning to leave you all out - just talking in the cotext of a SAHP) may have about parenting?
