Man Here!

Actually no.... not really.

But has anyone else noticed the frequency with which men will come on to post about mostly female interests to dispense their pearls of manly wisdom?

I'm thinking of posts on subjects such as fashion or beauty. I don't really post there, but on The Guardian beauty discussions you'll invariably see something along the lines of "Man here. I just want to say that we straight men really don't like make-up. You should just be yourselves! Don't get conned by the beauty industry ladies!" As if women are too thick to make their own informed choices and as if they were wearing make-up - or whatever - purely to gain male approval.

Have to say it annoys me no end. Such entitlement. I mean, women don't go on to football threads and tell them it's all a waste of time and they should focus on something more constructive, do we?

John sounds ridiculously annoying. Can anyone link to the thread please?

John wasn't too bad I think. He was very open to criticism and he tries to speak about women's rights to his Neanderthal mates...the lads! 🤪

That wasn't meant to sound as sarcastic as it did...John was actually ok!

And now I want an MN "penis flag" smiley to use when a biscuit simply doesn't cut it.
