This rather silly suggestion to create net.men (or its logical
equivalent) reminds me of a confrontation during my early years
at the University of Wisconsin (back when "Go Big Red" had an
altogether different meaning).  Some of us feminists were trying
to get the administration to sanction a women's studies course.
The bureaucratic response was, "Well, if we do that, we'd have to
allow men's studies, too."  At which point a very wise woman
shouted, "You already have it.  In fact you have a whole department.
You call it 'history'."

Jesus H Christ!  We men strut our stuff, some would say throw it,
over the whole world, including 99% of the net.  Since when have
we been lacking for a forum?  And what would we use another one for? 
The usual, I suppose:  beating each other up (metaphorically,
of course).  We do it so well.
