My Mate...

She can say that again!

I informed her rather gravely that there are in fact, very few, real men on here.

She's going to tell them it's not all men on here.

I pointed that out a few times there were women on here. 2 of them actually heard me.

I was hoping to get more females on here but not if they as mad as the regulars that post on Mumsnet.

She namechecked you actually.

Yes, not sure why females are in the minority here..?

Plenty of Big Girl's Blouses though.

Wonder why that is?

What consitutes a real man?

We are now in their "Talk Round-up"

We had a bit of a cross-forum rumpus this week, when some naughty boys from the 'CUK' IT contractor forum bustled onto the Talk boards in true Mrs Doubtfire style and got into a lather when they discovered that Mumsnet doesn't ban rude words. It all left MadamDeathstare fuming: "The way some of them go on about women and mothers makes me wonder if they have actually met a woman or if they were raised in a veal pen." Others didn't object to an occasional troll-invasion: "Couldn't we treat it as some kind of foreign exchange?" offered DuelingFanjo. Some of the chaps returned to beg for mercy: "Our admin has filtered out every possible swear word," bleated MrsFullyautomatix, "we are even forced to say 'tulip' when we actually mean 'sh*t'." "The thing about Mumsnet is that there are so many valid reasons for us to talk about sex (TTC), tulip (potty training) and breasts (feeding) that there is absolutely no point trying to moderate our language," pointed out GrimmaTheNome sensibly. "And there are gardening threads, so you need to know you're planting a tulip rather than a euphemism."

How dare they say that I was bleating?

I feel like a sheep now

Need some pointers?

Could be lotsa mileage in this one

There are not that many women in IT in general. Even in the places I've been where there are lots of women, 3 out of 4 IT workers were men.

Also women tend to talk to want to interact with people in person when they are not in work.
