You mean you're unable to post in there (blocked)?

No man is "banned" from posting in the Women's Section.

This might be a "bug" sort of situation.

Men should use their discretion, though.

All men are allowed to post in women's discussion. But men are supposed to be respectful and try not to make any comments that could be regarded as sexist or insensitive.

And if a thread title specifies "Women only", that means that the person who started the thread would prefer if only other women reply.

The Haven is not a discussion forum for WP site issues, it is designated for support only and threads which raise contentious issues belong elsewhere.

Everytime is post anything what's her name would jump on me and say men shouldn't be posting at all.

Do women just not like me then? She doesn't jump on other guys 0.o

I guess this should be put in "love and dating" or something like that.

Sly: don't let that person intimidate you.

I once had a guy tell me: "Don't hang out in Greenwich Village!" He smashed a chain against some stairs to prove his point. Do you think I listened to that guy? Hell no!

You can post anywhere you like---as long as you don't insult people.

Ha, I think the men's section is basically the threads about "boobs" and other such things. I post in those types of threads on occasion. There really is no men's discussion forum. We wanted to get one started, but no one seemed interested.

I don't honestly notice which subforums I attend and post. If there is a reason to prohibit me from one or more subforums, it is the job of the subforum to block my entrance and involvement. The whole of WrongPlanet.net could be merged into one, gigantic forum, and I wouldn't notice. I am interested by the topics. Nothing else.

So you're not blocked, someone is just telling you not to? Don't listen to her, you have every right to post wherever you want on WP. Who is it by the way (PM me)?

That's bullying behavior, and should be reported. Respectful posts by men are allowed on the women's discussion forum.

Post where you want to. People shouldn't be telling others what they can and cannot do when the rules are being followed and they're not in charge.
