		<description>I would prefer to pretend cafemom is all women.  I (and I&#039;m sure others) would not feel comfortable posting some of the things I do if men were also allowed in the forums.  It&#039;s just like men not being allowed in the women&#039;s restroom to me I guess.</description>

		<description>The site is pretty nasty. When it first started it was a place for women to get support from people when they had no other support or anyone to talk to girl to girl.  But over the years it has become fulled with hateful, heartless, hurtful people. Women who would never say a word to anyones face in public all of a sudden has a whole lot to say to someone who has different views.

you cannot raise your children different, you cannot watch different shows, you cannot be YOURSELF without being attack and jumped all over for doing so.  
It is now a site for women who have no lives and only crave the drama and plain evilness that comes from all the negative attention they are giving and getting.

Things about people needing advice or a death of a loved one or things that are happy and positive and nice are ignored and only the posts about the lady next door who yells a lot, or the dick head at the store who used food stamps while he looked at his blackberry, and gossip posts get the attention.  
And god forbid you have any other view than what the majority of the women on there think you should have.  

The creators and moderators are doing nothing to remedy it and I see nothing be negativity bring the website crashing and burning.</description>

		<description>Men join anyway. They just keep it to themselves and participate in a productive way in the discussions. Most of the topics are general topics anyone can talk about. In some cases a male perspective would be welcome. I&#039;m positive they are getting more than a few without realizing it.

If the women there think there&#039;s no men because of the website title, then they are very naive. Text on a screen is not a physical barrier. And just because some has a set of boobs doesn&#039;t make them trustworthy to tell personal info to. Women can be &quot;evil&quot;, as well. And we&#039;re all strangers there.

I say work with the dads, not against them, since there&#039;s nothing stopping them from joining anyway and they aren&#039;t given any choice but to either share with a spouse or hide behind a screenname and while using the site any way. If you work with them then they can at least be open about themselves.

Its easy to talk normally on there and use the right pronouns when referring to himself or his spouse. Using DH (Dear Hubby) is how you refer to your spouse and is accepted, cuz no one&#039;s going to say &quot;my wife&quot; without getting someone reporting them to Cafemom. It may be a minority on there, but I&#039;m sure there&#039;s some good dads using the site in cognito and not hurting a dang thing.

Its really dumb.</description>

		<description>LAUGH MY F-ING ASS OFF AT THE LAST FEW POSTS!

It&#039;s evidently clear that someone from cafemom got their butt hurt so much that they felt they had to post on the forum. No offense, but you women are going to take this to offense anyways, CafeMom is filled with pms-ing women who instead of should be making dinner and soothing their crying toddlers, they yell at other women who aren&#039;t a part of their mean girls clique. 

Having said that, suburbandaddy, stay out of there. You&#039;d hate us women even more.

I&#039;d also like to include that not ALL cafemoms are this way, the MAJORITY ARE THOUGH!</description>

		<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>
