Need your help, guys. Tell me what sections to add and all that. And, of course, show everyone here that a forum for men is needed indeed. It's one month trial. Don't let me down now. Go there and post! 8)

Oh, and excuse the name of the forum. I can always change it later on when I get a domain name for it (if the forum ever kicks off).


What about a set of rules there? Just in order to set it right it on track?


No problem. I'll do the rules later today. Any suggestions concerning what sections to add (if necessary)? Thanks for joining, by the way. Hope the others who were interested join soon.

It's not that I don't want to address your self-victimization and claims of double standard, it's that I don't see it as an answer to my question. It just strikes me as irrelevant whining.


I don't feel victamized at all, my sleep isn't being affected. I'm just pointing out obvious double standards. If you want to deny them, and just continue to add banana's to Vig's pizza, then so be it.

I've been trying to find an archived page of WP from when the old men's forum existed but I can't find one using the Wayback Machine. It must have existed during the 3 month gap between september and december 2006. There's no archived pages for that period. If anyone else has success in finding it post it here.

You can continue to have your discussion about a double standard all by your lonesome. Just remember that you're fictionalizing my part to meet your need to continue to go on about it. None of it actually answers my original question, which, for the sake of futility, I will repeat:

What misogyny existed on the original Mens Discussion forum that would not be considered misogyny today?

That's actually a good idea. I'll try to see if there's some archived pages out there.

Yes, probably misogyny occurred occasionally in men's forum but It's not more than the L&D.


Yes but I was asking, based on blonnet's comment, what could be misogynistic THEN that would NOT be NOW.


Well, regardless of which story is more accurate, most radical misogynists are banned by the last and current mod teams, I bet that those who posted misogynistic posts on L&D did also posted such posts on Men's forum. Now users such as Ricky and Aspie1 might post there but they would probably prefer to post their misogynistic opinions on L&D forum or women's forum since they like to confront women......


Oh nevermind! :roll:


Ok, I got your question.

Well, honestly... I don't know what he exactly means, maybe he can give examples.

But blunnet's opinions are only his own.

wefunction, I respect your opinions , I respect blunnet's opinions, but I won't stop this poll because of them.

Let's put it on our signatures.

Also, I suggest to add a rule: "Discussing and criticizing issues such as gender roles and society is permitted but promoting for any kind of sexism will be forbidden. Remember, this is men's forum, not anti-women forum."

And everyone, aside from Boo, seem to have missed that there's a men's forum made two days ago.

I'm not keeping the forum up for nothing. Should I shut it down and not waste my time?
