Maybe where I said my daughter had been sexually trolled, and not one man in this convo said anything.
You know how I feel about this

I never wanted kids, didn't want my faulty genes being passed on. I do have a beautiful daughter and grandson, and I wouldn't change that for the world.
Young to have a grandson when you are 51.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
Don't you have an autistic daughter?
How can you post crap like this? ^
Do you or don't you realise this entire site is for everyone regardless of gender?
Do you think some of us belong in a tiny closet somewhere, defined by gender?
Do you or don't you realise men troll women for sex in the "Women's thread", too?
I thought he was simply suggesting a safe place for women.
Regarding trolling in the woman's thread, report the posts.
I think I am missing something.

^ I’m not sure where you pulled these numbers from, but even if it’s accurate and more men are single than women, still, a significant percentage of women are single. It’s nowhere near as skewed as some posters would have us believe.
I'm not relying on numbers alone, but the pew research is the broadest study done, The numbers match what is happening around the western world and in the some of the Asian countries who have socially mimicked western values. It also ties in with what I (and many on this forum) have experienced.
Just because you don't like the pattern doesn't invalidate that something is wrong.
If fewer women are choosing to hook up with men, I don’t see it as something wrong. That’s their choice. People, including horny, young men, aren’t entitled to sex or relationships.
However, the numbers you and Pepe cited demonstrate that things are not as extreme as you are claiming them to be. Also, self-reporting surveys are not known for being rock-solid evidence. Many things can skew people’s reporting - stuff like socialized, gendered attitudes/beliefs.
Whatever the case may be, being alone (or being alone in the past) is no excuse to engage in continuous, sexist commentary/misogyny. I know where the report button is.
I don’t go around making sexist generalizations about men even though I’ve known a few abhorrent men who hurt me profoundly.

There are fewer women than men at WP.
Relegating all women's issues to one subforum means we'd have very little support.
If we managed to make friends there, we'd be accused of being in cliques or girl-gangs.
Oh wait - that's already happened.
It sounds like some men want women out of L&D so we won't see the misogyny.
Alex, CF and Walrus all posted recently that they want misogyny reported.
Who's going to report it if there are no women there to see?
When's the last time either of you men reported misogyny to help women?
Also please remind me why men and women can't just help each other?
Should we have separate subfora for different races too, or would that be racist?

M-F friendship is entirely undervalued here even though you admit your daughter has lots of male friends.
Of the three male friends she has at school, one of them has a g/f, the other two are non-binary (gay). She has two female friends who are special needs but not to the same level as she is.
Your daughter's gender is irrelevant to the conversation, and that is private information that you probably shouldn't share here, as it can be used against you.
I'm sorry to hear she's getting through so much stuff. Hope it improves, but you're a good dad.
I might try talking about mom, since I don't want her to be left out of it.

There's a thread I started on the parent's forum which has been read by 300,000 people which I completely discloses my daughter's progress from non-verbal to transitioning to having a semi-normal life attending a mainstream school. She's graduating this year so I have passed the torch of looking after the thread to Jono who also has non0verbal kids.
I've already disclosed a lot of private information to a lot of people aready
