Why is there no men's forum?

[Matthias]

I am curious as to why Ms. @Kayla McCanny, a woman, would want to see such a forum. I invite her speak for herself.

I was going to ask her the same thing and then I did. After that everything is pretty much a blur.

 

[Matthias]

Try quoting her post … and I am sure she can help you out.

I did. She didn’t. (Maybe I need a breath mint?)

 

[Lambano]

You stated you wanted to maintain your reputation (as far as it pertains to belching, farting and sex talking men club. Your answers just are not typical of you.

Maybe getting a bad reputation is harder than I thought.

You might have, but Lambano is speaking to me about desiring to speak to this woman (the woman which started this thread) rather than me (who is also a woman) who he has posted a reply to first, I am only answering after the fact. Thus my reply. Try quoting her (rather then me, who he does not care to hear from) but posted to me (I am only replying to his posts to me).

 

[Matthias]

You might have, but …

Be right back.

Found it. Post #5 in the thread.

I’m sorry. Where were we?

* I’m talking myself out of the possible need for a mens forum. *

Why would you aim for a bad reputation?

For my purposes in this thread, the Al Bundy caveman stereotype is useful.

I don't want anyone to feel excluded.

I think the question is, "Is there a need for equality?"

Or did the pigs in "Animal Farm," achieved equality by making themselves more privileged than the other animals.

Me thinks that the pigs were the first shipped out for profit, but I read that book so long ago that it is only clogging up my memory allocations of what I need to remember.

My memory is prompting me that I wrote a few posts on this very topic a while back now and is too far back to remember accurately.

Thank you, Ms. Kayla. That’s very thoughtful of you, and I appreciate your concern for our feelings. Really.

To be honest, I don’t think it’s necessary. There are very few subjects I would not feel comfortable discussing in mixed company. I mentioned two to Ms. Truly. I have been happily married for over 40 years, and i am not about to complain about my wife on a public forum, even if I had something to complain about. And the Sweet Lady has specifically asked that I not discuss sexual matters with women after I was a little too open and transparent on another Christian forum with a woman who wanted a man’s perspective in order to understand some of her issues with her own husband. I will honor my wife’s request, and I do not need a men-only forum to discuss that subject at all.

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?

There was a lot of men on the forum who were rude, controlling, condescending, hateful, and verbally abusive in their posts to and about women. It was needed that women have a space to just discuss things calmly without being attacked. It is what it is.

Ask and ye shall receive. Don't stand around and accuse ....ask the admin for a men's forum like several of us women did.

 

[TLHKAJ]

Yes, ma’am. I have a bad reputation to maintain.

I don't believe that one tiny bit! lol

TLHKAJ, that is not "a man thing" since women can be the same way, so its not really a man or woman thing per se' its just behaving in an ungodly manner, whoever they may be (whether its a man or woman) they should just be banned rather than create new spaces to escape them.

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”?

I believe it was ‘ Christian ‘ women that requested the forum, so why would admin put it in a non Christian area.
