    they deserve to be bashed. these men not only eat babies, but they inaccurately input the nutritional info in the MFP database.

    The three B's: "Bashing, Bullying, and Body-shaming"

    I keep hearing about these things in terms of complaints. I've been accused of two of the three, but in reality of their definitions, it rarely ever actually happens. Some people are too sensitive, others just like to stir up crap.

    I'm fairly new to the site and love it however during this very short time I am seeing a bunch of threads where it seems to be a norm to pretty much bash men. Are most of the men on this site bad folks? I have seen more than a few posts where men have been nothing but helpful. Am I missing something? Do they say mean things via emails to you?


    Cold hearted man haters.

    Maybe they aren't pooping correctly....lmao! Just kidding. But I agree with you. I've found most people are just too sensitive.

    WendyTerry, You don't even know me. I am a lurker and I've seen people call you out on "Body Shaming" and I can assure you the people that called you out on it did not do so because they had hurt feelings.

    Sometimes people find certain behavior annoying, that does not mean they have hurt feelings. This statement is not directed at you, just a common misunderstanding. "Oh, someone didn't agree with what I said, they must have hurt feelings".

    What did you think would happen when you put a bunch of hungry strangers on a forum with anonymity debating views about topics with mostly no true scientific facts to back them up?

    Yup! Emotions run high when people are going through a major lifestyle change, struggling with self-image, and missing their favorite comfort foods! The relative anonymity allows them to vent. I don't know about the man bashing, like someone else said, women may talk about issues with the men in their lives (probably more than men talk about the women in theirs), but what I have seen on the forums so far is pretty balanced.

    "Hungry Strangers" - if I were a musician, that's what I'd call my band. :laugh:

    I haven't noticed much man-bashing, but the fact that this forum is mostly women would probably lead to more man-bashing than women-bashing. I'm on another forum that's mostly men and the women bashing on there is pretty bad.

    Nothing but <3 for that one ^^

    But seriously, these forums bash everyone. Sometimes males, sometimes females, sometimes overweight people, sometimes "skinny" people. I don't know if you know it, but there can only be 5 happy people in the forums, so I have to make a bunch of people feel crappy if I want a happy spot.

    ^ Love your spin on this. Excellent! Very positive. :flowerforyou:

    MFP does seem to be an equal opportunity offender. But with that said "men" actually seem to get off a little easier. And the men here well, they are generally adored (and yes overall they do seem quite nice). Stick around and I think you'll see what I mean.
