wefunction, the Mens Discussion wasn't removed because it was misogynistic , misogyny always existed much more in the L&D forum.

It was removed because some users back then only talked about dick size and adult stuff and made the forum sound no different than the adult forum. But none of those immature users are active now.

I don't how many times should I repeat this, the purpose of the men's forum we're asking for is not to get a safe haven for misogynists.

Thank you. That does make more sense.

I had thought different because:

For all of you who ask why there is no men's forum, and how unfair it is, and all that. There was a men's forum in the past, and it was removed. Why? not sure of that, but at a given point in time there were complains about the place being "misogynistic", so I bet that could have been the reason or part of the reason, (things used to be too PCish in those days). So I don't think there will be a men's forum ever again on this site, as much as poeple complain about it.


So that's why I asked the question and it wasn't related specifically to the Mens Discussion forum concept but more just the curiosity of knowing what could be misogynistic then that wouldn't be now.

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......

Just created one now. Visit the following link:

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?

I've seen that kind of thing in the women's discussion, but it still seems to be there :idea:


Wow. That totally does not answer my question. Would you like to talk about pizza on bananas now?


I do! 8)

Pretty much the same I suppose, the issue is that nowadays, if I'm correct, there isn't much call for censorship from the one who feels offended, or at least it seems to be minor, I usually see counter-arguments against those positions rather than wanting to censor an opinion.

What'd you want me to say? Yes, we still have blatant double standards now, as we did then? Things wouldn't be quite as bad now, though I can't say why.

I do find it funny when people can't defend double standards anymore, so they have to make questions up about bananas.

I have made no such thing up!

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.
