I know it seems unfair, but the adult forum just comes across as the mens forum. What do you want to talk about in the mens forum that's not part of the adult section? Because I'm pretty sure we would get a lot of male annoyance if we went on about PMS and periods in there. It's not like men aren't allowed in here.

What I say in here makes people hate me, I know for a fact, but I really think the only point of a mens forum is to make sexist locker room comments about women. I've seen this happen when there WAS a mens forum.

You don't see vice versa in here.

I am Male and I am diagnosed Aspie and I would not say that Halle Bopp is someone I see eye to eye with on most issues BUT I did see her original post on that stickified thread on whether men ought to be allowed to post and I agree with her sensible comments 100%.
It is about respect. If as a man I am on a woman's forum I must accept that I am a guest here. It is not about pushing a misogynist view bit if I am invited for opinion, I will offer it as a man. It may give another perspective and new light to what was discussed or may not.
I would hope that my presence was not objected to as a male. Similarly I think within ourselves being 1%'ers in society anyhows would make us less suseptible to bigotry. Maybe not?

yes, segregation does bring a tear to my eye, but i've realised that this is probably a vital forum, i mean, if you post something about female biological/social issues in the general adult forum, you might get some chauvanistic immature eejit posting silly jokes.

and if i, a somewhat abused male with a completly skewed view on sex and gender, can understand this simple premise (took a while, mind) then surely the other guys should.

Men post in the women's forum all the time, so it's not really a women's forum anyway.


That's why I usually stay out of here, but I stumble in every once in a while. :lol:

Anyway, looking at how some guys post negative things about women, do we even deserve a Men's Only Forum? :?

They need a completely separate forum from WP for men,
maybe call it the Don't Cut Off My Foreskin Forum its seems
to be the biggest concern for some of the peep's here.
I think they just like talking about PENIS and Big Floppy Donkey Dongs

So we assume that there's no single man on this forum?

Ahh, sorry it wasn't meant that way at all. Just meant men are usually already included in most things as to why there'd be a specific woman's area.
