Anything I want to discuss with men only I'm not going to post on an internet forum.
Much love!
Are you a man? Whether you are or aren’t - it would be even more interesting to me than it already is if you are a woman - why do you think men need a forum of their own too?
If such a forum were to be offered, do you think it should be a private forum? That is, a forum that women would be unable to read?

The better question would be, Why is there a women's (only) forum?
When matters of God are posted, I have more than once responded considering the matter not specific to women, only to be told I had no business commenting. I beg your pardon! How rude!
Not offended really--but I have been put out--and not kindly.
Now, I do understand that women may want to just talk to other women about pregnancy, or relationships, etc., but even that has spiritual implications that are not specific to women. So, the whole thing is rather weak if you ask me--perhaps so narrow the two are not even one flesh--wow!
And I also understand "man stuff", or "man caves", etc., or just different interests--as it should be, as we each have a different role. But claiming "mine"...that's just wrong, and perhaps childish.
In biblical reality however, the Bride of Christ is comprised of both men and women alike.
But hey--thanks for asking!

I can't help the first thing that come into my mind when it comes to designated safe spaces these days, especially on online forums, just so men cannot respond (but they can often just click on it to read).
If its that important to be private, just shoot another woman a private message if you have a question you do not want a man to know about (or repond to).
I mean, how many subjects can possibly fill up a forum that any woman would desire to exclude a man from?
I love fishing, but not fresh water only sea. So its not just a man's adventure.
Besides alot of men who can't play rough sports call fishing a sport to feel they are sportier than they really are (but we all see through it)
One is enough. And sometimes a woman wants to speak with a group of women, not only one other woman.
I’ve been on forums in the past that had “women only” and “men only” forums. They were marked private. As I recall, the “women only” forum was much more active than the “men only” forum”. (Zola Board was one of them. I don’t know if it’s still an active discussion forum or not. - I did a search for it and couldn’t find anything.)

I am a woman I know what we sometimes want, but I would be curious the topics, about the husband? Then why not include other men to chime in since they would be husbands, about pregancy? Well, the man gets the woman pregnant. About children? The man is the father of the children, discipline? The father disciplines the children. Cooking? Some men cook. Anything that needs to be more private than those things should not be on a public forum, called, "For women only". Besides, I was on a topic in the womens forum under my other screen name and Amigo come right in and replied one time and I responded in pretence like I was violated by his presence (lo!) just because I was not and just wanted to pull his chain.
Nothing is really private online anyway, what you say online (that you think is so private) is just scooped up by data collectors and sold off out from under you. The last thing you want to believe is anything is really private online. That could be another topic though.
That’s one of the reasons that I don’t - with rare exceptions - do pm’s on discussion forum platforms.
And then Adam woke up, a slight soreness in his side . . . I feel different! he said . . . Hmm . . . maybe . . . I don't feel anything! I want to build something!
Much love!
At the risk of being told that it’s none of a man’s business, why did “the women” ask for a forum to themselves? Has it been a popular forum? Might it be more popular / active if it was located in a forum that isn’t marked “Christians Only”?

Does anybody really want to see a forum where we men sit around, laugh at belching and farting, scratch where it itches, take a leak when we need to, talk about sports and sex in various permutations and combinations, and complain about our wives?

I like having a woman's forum. Lots to talk about woman to woman.
