I've heard it brought up here a few times, but didn't really give it much thought. I realize there are things I'd like to say that would possibly be considered trolling, and I don't need enemies here.

There used to be a full Discussion Group, but it wasn't that popular, so it became a stickied thread in the InDepth Adult Discussion group.

And if you read the Woman's Discussion Group, it is not exclusively women only, so neither is the Men's Discussion group.

Consider the possibility that WP may not be the appropriate place for what you have to say. I always suggest livejournal or another blog site as the most practical solution in these situations.

The mens forum got removed because boys and men tended to use it to slag off and objectify women instead of talking about regular guys issues, which started to cause a lot of fights.

Actually, it was a lot worse.
It was more like a high school football team locker room. Way back machine might still have it... dunno.

I'm surprised that the women's discussion seems to have worked out pretty well.
If there was a another men's discussion, it would mean there would need to be many more mods to keep a REAL good eye on us cheeky boys. :lol: Infact, security guards. :lol:

Well the way as I see it, very few men want to talk about wrong sized bras and periods, and they don't tolerate listening to it, so thats the only reason womens discussion is there.

As it's a male dominated forum there are limited places for that sort of discussion. I can't think of anything Men would need to talk about in there?
