Women's Issues forum....no Men's Issues forum

[Psycho4Bud]

3/4 of the sexuallity forum is about mens issues. As far as a true "womens forum", right now I really don't see it since there are so many men that feel the need to post in there for some odd reason.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

Women have greater problems than men? Now that's just sexist. I for one would like to see a Men's Issues forum, not because the girls have their own, but because it would be a good addition to the site. This isn't about the dominant sex on the message boards, it's about having a place where us guys can post about our ordeals. Now you can side with folks like Birdie and say this message board is a guys only message board and that the girls need their own little 'special' place, or you could enforce the equality stuff and give us boys a place to post our problems. I'm sure it will be used. :thumbsup:

Nobody--ANYBODY--said that women have greater problems than men. We don't. I'm convinced men have greater problems. You have higher stress levels. You're the more frequent Type A-drivers. You certainly have higher rates of disease and earlier mortality. You even have higher infant mortality. I discuss health because all the other stuff in your lives such as feeling you have to be the breadwinners, leaders, and problem-solvers of the world are what detrimentally affect your health. The reason a women's forum was created was because, as I said earlier, when women discussed personal issues, which men do freely and without hesitation all over these boards, they were getting unsolicited ridicule and disdainful comments. Guys, it appears, were uncomfortable when women talked about the fact that we have periods.

"Side with folks like Birdie"? There is no "taking-sides" involved in what I'm saying. The people with good sense and comprehending eyes can see that men post their problems all over these boards. Even on the Women's Issues sub-forum, interestingly.

sheesh, bg how do you maintain such calm in the face of these shit-stirrers

Because, fortunately, the vast majority of them aren't shit-stirrers! And even the ones who are are immensely entertaining. I always get a kick out of our resident "masculinists." Plus it helps that I live with two secure, women-loving men and was raised by yet another, all three of whom are these wonderful, strong, successful, uniquely driven, alien, less-emotional creatures but possessing complementary traits I'm not sure I could survive without. (Or would ever want to try.)

The reason we don't have a mens issues forum, is because most men believe that discussing male issues makes you gay.

Hehe Im going to take that one step further and say that youre right, thats why we dont have one.. and the reason we dont NEED a mens forum is because I dont see any women making immature comments when guys post their male-related problems. And I think thats the real reason right there.

We just dont need one.

Wait wait wait... its the men that dont need one... maybe there should be a BOYS forum though... now THAT might help some things out. It would probably be more of a "time-out" though :P All the boys that make immature comments can be restricted to only viewing and posting in the Little Boys Forum for a day or a week hahahaha

Why not, we have some issues..I see plenty of only men threads in the sexuality forum.

It was asked before, I believe the response was that it wasn't necessary because there are a lot more women's issues then men's. I think you're right, but I could go either way.
