I thought of this especially when I saw a thread titled something along the lines of "Urgh I hate boys..."

Doesnâ??t matter if this board was 99% males, or 99% female, there is no such thing as a male forum on internet message boards.

I've been on boards, usually medical related, that were mostly frequented by women and girls. They allowed special sections for teenagers, parents, foreigners and other categories, but would not allow a men's forum. Even most men on these boards were opposed to the idea. The reason usually is "It's not necessary". This is part and parcel of the notion that is drilled into people's minds that men do not have problems or issues and, in fact, all of the world's problems are their fault in the first place.
