Should men be on period apps?

Question

period apps?" /> 
Hi ladies, so in no way do I want to make this a polemic question, I don't mean to start up drama and this post comes from mere inquisitiveness.
I have noticed (not often) that guys respond to menstruation and sex questions on period apps I follow. Many of them respond with "My girlfriend" or "My wife" types of answers. I'm not easily offended so I just find it a tad bit odd and amusing, but I was wondering what you guys think. Again, it's just a respectful inquiry so please let me know your thought. 
Xoxo, have a gread day!

Answer

I don’t find it an issue but I’ve come across many guys who are here only for creepy reasons, a lot of women on this app post intimate pictures to get advice and don’t mean anything sexual by it but these creepy men take those pictures and god knows what they will do with it it’s a shame that these handful men make it hard for those who are genuinely on this app to follow their wife/girlfriend. Only for that reason I don’t think men should be allowed on this app as it puts trust and privacy of those woman in the wrong hands

Answer

Trans men who still have uteruses and periods can absolutely be on here as well as men tracking their parters cycle or wanting to educate themselves on female reproductive issues.

Answer

Yes. They have just as much right to be here as anyone else. Most responses are about personal experiences anyway, so I find it completely normal for someone to share things related to them or someone they know.

Answer

Men can track their SO’s period for many reasons. 
Men are also on this app because the forums are the same across all of their apps. So a dad tracking their baby’s growth or partners pregnancy are going to see all forums. (Eve, glow baby, glow, nurture are all the same and you can add your partner)
Trans men can still have a period. 
Some of those “my wife” “my girlfriend” posts can be male about female OR female about female.

Answer

As a guy using the app I use it to help track my wife’s periods. We are trying to get pregnant so it helps me know when is a good time for us to try. I only comment on things that have worked for my wife or the both of us.

Answer

Unless they become inappropriate, I don’t see the big deal

Answer

It depends, some men join these apps to gain more knowledge about their wife/gf/partner, but there are also some people who join just to creep on discussions

Answer

I actually think it is interesting when men comment (obviously not the creeps) it gives a different perspective. And as for intimate pictures, people know this is a public forum and that it isn't allowed to do in the first place, so I don't see the problem. Also I'm sure most guys that are posting and are on here because their partners are on it don't care for the intimate pictures of someone else.

Answer

Feels kind of weird to comment on this since I'm a guy on this app 😅 I originally joined so I could help keep track of my fiancée (now wife's) period since we moved around a lot and having supplies on hand if she needed them helped me be a better partner. But I stuck with it after our life got more predictable because the community questions, polls, and conversations are really interesting. I got hooked answering sex ed questions because a lot of the young and confused posters reminded me of my little sisters. As long as I'm welcome in the community I'm happy to be active here 😊

Answer

I was shocked to learn how little my boyfriend (32) actually knows about the female reproductive system and how it works. Not to mention the things he wasn't aware of were a real thing and not just something that people say or do. For example, going pee after sex to prevent a yeast infection or that we don't bleed continuously during our periods or that SIDS is a real thing that happens to babies and isn't just something they some times mention on tv (crime shows). That's just 3 examples that come to mind at the moment but there have been other things that I thought everyone, men and women, would just know that he wasn't aware of 🤷‍♀️
I think it's important for men to be more educated, that way they'll be more respectful and understanding of what women go through as far as sex, periods, and pregnancy.
