Ok I’ll rephrase it. I don’t have the time to look am right now. Men are not starting their own groups based on gender only however women are. There are women only gyms, women only swimming pools, women only charities, 90% of teachers are women, CAFASS is mostly women, Child services is nearly 100% women, recruiters are nearly 100% women. So you see, all of the underpinning parts of society with the most influence on society is all women. Cancer research U.K. has only just bowed to Leah all pressure as they wouldn’t allow men to run with women and there are more and more women only charities. There are just as many men that suffer with abuse but don’t report it as we have a very bias system. So anyway, I have a question. Why have “mumsnet” and not just a “parentnet” that includes everyone? One question, that’s all I’m asking. Thanks
I know I shouldn't bite but I will, I've got a few minutes to fill.

Men don't need to and they are actively trying to, and succeeding in some instances, take over and destroy women only groups, spaces and services.
There are women only gyms, women only swimming pools
Are there? Good. I've only ever heard of woman only sessions at swimming pools and gyms and I am sure if you think really, really, hard you'll work out why women, especially of a particular demographic, not only want but actually need these services.
There was a women only swimming pond on Hampstead Heath, but men campaigned to have it changed to include males and they succeeded so now there is a Male only swimming pond, and two mixed swimming ponds, most notably the males point blank refused to allow women into their pond. Now women of a particular demographic which regularly used the women only pond can't use it and don't use it - yay progress.
90% of teachers are women, CAFASS is mostly women, Child services is nearly 100% women, recruiters are nearly 100% women. So you see, all of the underpinning parts of society with the most influence on society is all women.
Once again, think really, really hard why that would be, here's a clue men on the whole consider those careers beneath them, those careers are not valued, or in a lot of cases paid well. In the case of child services being female dominated do you really not understand why that would be?
Cancer research U.K. has only just bowed to Leah all pressure as they wouldn’t allow men to run with women and there are more and more women only charities.
I don't know what you mean by to Leah all pressure can't even guess at it, but why should men be allowed to run with women? Why can't men organise their own run? As to why there are more women only charities, again have a long hard think why that would be.
There are just as many men that suffer with abuse but don’t report it as we have a very bias system.
Why are women expected to solve this and every other problem men have for men? Why don't men speak out about abuse, support those who are being abused, campaign for, set up and fund domestic violence shelters, services and helplines for men? You know like women had to and still have to regarding domestic violence against women. Why should women give up what they have fought tooth and nail for against all the odds because men can't be bothered to do the same for themselves they would just rather take what women have got and push women out in the process.
Why have “mumsnet” and not just a “parentnet” that includes everyone? One question, that’s all I’m asking. Thanks
Why not? Who is not included? I asked you earlier and you failed to respond so I'll ask again:
Do you think every organisation and space set aside for people with particular needs based on race, disability, sexuality needs to include absolutely everyone in the whole wide world even if they are not in the demographic the organisation is for? Thanks.
