		<description>I am new to my area, and wanted to find resources for my young (2y old) boy. My wife being stationed overseas means I am doing this on my own. I tried to look in to networks that would give me advice about my son and possibly let me arrange playtimes with other children. It is impossible to find them though. EVERY orgnazation I have tried told me sorry I am not a mother. It pains me how they can turn down needy people looking for help because of gender.</description>

		<description>Always humorous to see women go froth at the mouth, call you retarded, an idiot, etc... when all you are doing is asking for some parity in the whole &quot;equality&quot; thing.

Years of screaming for equal rights and access to everything... huge protests, forced entry into &quot;Men Only&quot; organizations... but boy, you want to join a community dedicated to Moms (which should be an HONOR to them - a man wanting to learn from their wisdom) and LOOK at all the Banshees wailing...

Amazing... you women are the equivalent of your misogynistic male counterparts from the 1920&#039;s.

Brilliantly executed, and well played.</description>

		<description>I think its retarded your so upset about Cafemom rejecting you. Its not discrimination, its simply a site geared for moms. You shouldnt be interested anyway, unless youre some type of fruit basket...but maybe you are.

Second, to &quot;Amanda&quot; and all the other sexist acting bitches that are posting. Ya, its retarded he got so offended at Cafemom, but its also equally as stupid that you would sit here and act like a dad doesnt know jack shit about their child or even as weird as it sounds, their wives menstrual cycle. You think you know everything, but if your husband is doing what he should, he should be holding your hand through every step of life, and learning about things on the way. So whos to say he couldnt contribute in some way? fucking moron.</description>

		<description>to add: Cafemom doesn&#039;t only talk about female issues. In fact they talk about  A LOT of non-parenting and non-gender specific topics, making the gender restriction all the more illogical.

True, most guys don&#039;t want to see posts about pregnancies and breastfeeding, so they don&#039;t go to those threads. But there&#039;s litereally 1000s of other threads that they will be interested in.

It really is dumb to have rule you feel so strong about that you cant&#039; truly enforce.</description>

		<description>Its just encouraging males to lie, which ironically they do not want and is one of their chief concerns regarding &quot;bad people&quot;, but what choice are they really giving non-mothers to do? Even women without kids are kicked out, not just men. 

If they want a member to be a mother, then they&#039;ll say they are a mother and get what they need anyway. Until there&#039;s a way to physically stop someone, they&#039;re going to join anyway. &quot;Men aren&#039;t allowed&quot; isn&#039;t enough of a deterent. They are parents, too. 

This is a top &quot;parenting&quot; advice website. As such if someone is determined enough, they will find a way. 

In the case of Cafemom, there isn&#039;t much you have to do to get around the &quot;Moms Only&quot; restriction and just sign up and you&#039;re in for good and can get some great parenting insight as long as you play it cool and don&#039;t give yourself away somehow.</description>

		<description>While I understand that dad&#039;s would want parenting advice as well, I think the best part of cafemom is that is it supposedly a female based site.

Where else I can I go and discuss eating the placenta to help hemorrhaging and PPD after delivery. 

Well, I guess I&#039;m not -that- uncomfortable with discussing it around men. Lol. 

Cafemom should create a daddy site though.</description>

		<description>Really dude? Strap on a pair. Why on earth would you want to be on CafeMOM in the first place? What could you possibly have to contribute?

You want to be a member? Fine. Here&#039;s a little warm up for you:
How long after I give birth will I get my first period? Will it be light or heavy flow? When can I go back to using tampons?
Is it better to to use a hand held or electric pump to express breast milk? What does it mean when it comes out yellow instead of clear?
When my daughter poops neon green is it because of something she ate or should I take her to a doctor?
How often should I be doing kegals to keep my vagina from ripping when I deliver?

WHat&#039;s that? You don&#039;t kow? Did any of those questions make you uncomfortable? Then cafeMOM is not the place for you. 

Go toss a football or fix something why don&#039;t you.</description>
