Should men have their own “Gramps Net” ?

Jackiest

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

Joke alert, StarDreamer!

Not only are you man but are you blond too?

Callistemon21

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

Why?

It was always rather unkind.

MissAdventure

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.

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

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.

?Ah, yes, I remember it well?

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.

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.

Chewbacca I am not suggesting men should not be on the site, I wanted to provoke discussion and it’s certainly done that.

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.

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

The thread is still there with some good suggestions!

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.

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

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

He was a man.

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.

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

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

Eh? Who, or what, is Egwin MissAdventure?

Poor old Egwin.
No apology forthcoming either.

I was not inplying that.

I know my reaction when someone declared that I had "no kids".

It set in motion great distress as it caused me to look at my life and how it had turned out.

I was also thinking of the reaction of a young girl on something I saw on television once when a teacher in talking about racism had got puplis discriminating about pupils with blue eyes.

Some people say things or misuse their position and other people get hurt.

And one is supposed to "take it". Oh oh oh oh.

Please look at a post (not from the OP) on another thread.
