The Name Mumsnet sexist?

[smthchri]

I have a question. Is this site for Parenets or mums? are only mums parents?

I watched the Hairy Bikers on TV last night and am neither excessively hairy nor a biker.

Don't try bringing reason and logic into this.

ooh, look what I came across (on my pictures in my profile)

That is a thing of beauty

Thats a brilliant flowchart!

Ahem. I can categorically say that men shop in Mothercare and not just fathers either.

Hec, I'm gonna pinch that, print it out and give it to my boss!

Smthchri - in the quote from SoupDragon that YOU used, there was a sentence that ended in a question mark. This denotes a question. Hence, you quoted her question, but failed to answer it.

I have attempted to engage smthchri in a deeper conversation on this subject, by sending him my earlier post (Mon 19-Mar-12 16:47:33) as a private message. He appears either unwilling or incapable of debating the broader picture, or of seeing how much mumsnet has to offer beyond its name and logo.

That's because he's not interested in mumsnet, joining it or what it has to offer.

He just wants to bash it.

I am sure that is not because it is a place where women go and support one another and give each other the courage, support and information needed to not put up with being treated like shit and therefore not a place a man who wishes to keep a woman without support or information would hate. I am sure there is a different reason altogether.

Would it be too much of a leap to suggest that maybe if he'd shopped in Mothercare occasionally, he might have shown that he was supportive of his XW & DCs and wouldn't be in the predicament he now finds himself?

I really don't think Mothercare saves relationships.

Maybe not, but helpful & involved fathers can!

Speculating on why someone's relationship ended is not helpful.
