Should men have their own “Gramps Net” ?

Eh? Who, or what, is Egwin MissAdventure?

And what does he have to do with this thread? Or indeed anything?

As far as I’m concerned they are welcome on here, it’s nice to get their views.

Egwin is the person who started a thread about cooking for one when he retired, except of course, it didn't run to plan, because others decided he wasn't genuine, and made a huge show of it.

He was a man.

Well probably still is a man. Didnt mean to finish him off

Ah, I missed that thread. Shame, it sounds useful in the current economic climate.

I would never stop men posting but would it be OK if we said no Blonds. We do have standards to keep up.

I’m blonde, but after that obvious discrimination, I might need counselling…??

Or maybe not lol ?

Sorry. Glad you are really offended.
I was just trying point out how silly it is to stereotype and to discriminate against someone.

Just as it is wrong to exclude blonds it is also wrong to exclude men.

The thread is still there with some good suggestions!

Opps that was meant to be you are not really offended. I am Blond.

Chewbacca I am not suggesting men should not be on the site, I wanted to provoke discussion and it’s certainly done that.
We've not had many men but the few we have had seem to cause a lot of trouble!
It’s a brave man that joins a predominantly female forum.

I have not caused trouble. Trouble has been thrust upon me.

Look at that thread about Egwin asking about food. I did not start that thread but trouble has been caused for me in that thread.

I feel as if I need to try to prove my innocence .

Mud sticks.

It seems to be a hashtag a woman has made an allegation situation.

And have you ever known a woman on Gransnet be deemed "no kids"?

I am male and I was deemed "no kids".

So less of the sweeping hypocrisy about men please.

I hope you're not blond as well, StarDreamer!

SD It’s not all about you!
I was referring to an antipodean man who was always getting barred, he had a side kick who was a crude misogynist.

Yes mud sticks.

Clearly not all about me.

> We've not had many men but the few we have had seem to cause a lot of trouble!

You have made that remark about all of the men who have been on Gransnet.

I am one of those men.

So clearly your allegation included an allegation against me.

Please don't try to blameshift onto me for me considering that you were including a reference to me.

Trouble has been thrust upon me by some women.

So please accept that you made that allegation and move on.

?Ah, yes, I remember it well?

Strange.
The antipodean male wasn't vegan, neither has he "recently caused trouble", both of which are mentioned in the Egwin thread.

We think he may be no longer with us (I don't mean just on GN) so this thread is becoming rather unkind.

It was always rather unkind.

Why?

Joke alert, StarDreamer!

Not only are you man but are you blond too?

He was certainly blond, StarDreamer ! Loved the song. I always enjoy those Andre Rieu concerts.
