They live in a...special world there. "(Hillary)Clinton determined to push 28 million circumcisions" Cerridwen May 2015 #40

For the ERA and critical of Hillary? With the exception of ERA support that sounds like DU. n/t lumberjack_jeff May 2015 #67

Read the comments on sports sites MaggieD May 2015 #21

Whoa! You are making one huge assumption FLPanhandle May 2015 #26

I agree that MaggieD's statement is a broadbrush, but as a female sports fan, ScreamingMeemie May 2015 #28

I agree many sports boards are not female friendly FLPanhandle May 2015 #33

Well it's interesting.... MaggieD May 2015 #37

doesnt that just floor you when out of the blue you get racism thrown in your face.... seabeyond May 2015 #41

I have a great story about that.... MaggieD May 2015 #44

SI, ESPN, NBC SPORTS MaggieD May 2015 #34

But you are assuming that the people posting are representative of the "average white mind" FLPanhandle May 2015 #36

I hear it's especially bad on Miami Dolphins message boards. lumberjack_jeff May 2015 #64

I've been on one sports site for years AndreaCG May 2015 #102

As a man, I have no idea why I would want to participate in a "Men's Group" FLPanhandle May 2015 #30

There *are* legitimate Men's groups, as opposed to the designated hate groups that are MRAs ismnotwasm May 2015 #38

btw... seabeyond May 2015 #43

Absolutely agree. FLPanhandle May 2015 #86

What do women talk about on women's forums? polly7 May 2015 #71

I was replying to your general 'why do men need a forum' question, the way I understood it. polly7 May 2015 #83

Yeah haha, I started writing and went on a tangent. You're right about needing a comfortable place LittleBlue May 2015 #89

You mean Men's Groups? NaturalHigh May 2015 #130

All 5 if them? trumad May 2015 #132

"All 5 if them?" NaturalHigh May 2015 #133

The blocked members list for that group is interesting. pintobean May 2015 #139
