I’m so old dude. Old as dirt, I made $.35 an hour in my first full time job. That’s $20 a week with overtime. People talked down at me, and not just men, women, in fact, were the absolute worst.

It’s a feedback loop. They can call someone for mansplaining and if the man does ANYTHING other than politely accept the accusation, they are then further guilty of mansplaining. It’s a tactic to control the interaction. The example above is simply patronizing condescension and happens all the time to men/women by men…

At least you were offered a sensical explanation of sorts. I have literally been told a few times that it’s literally any time a man explains something to a woman. And my incredulity at that explanation has usually made the whole situation worse. Ugh.

I am a male engineer who works with plenty of other male engineers and a few female engineers. Lots of people do this, it’s not exclusively something men do to women. Actually I mostly get it from sales people, they have the sort of ego and drive that has them talking over people a lot. It’s not particularly sexist,…

That’s not the definition of mansplaining as explained to me by so many women I’ve discussed it with. What you define in the first paragraph is just run-of-the-mill condescending behavior. Frankly, I’ve seen as much of that from women in the workplace as from men. I was under the impression that “mansplaining” is when…

This is a classic example of Deadspin pushing one of their favorite narratives way too far.

Uh she was full of dirty tricks that worked against Bernie?

It’s the kind of math you do when you want to further a narrative, my friend.

Agreed, and it could have been people who were short on food and genuinely needed it (I think your life saving drug example is probably even better than food). It also might have been common criminals taking advantage of a disaster. I just don’t see a reason to pile on this reporter over calling the cops. Seems…

He saw a crime and reported a crime. Sounds like what people should do. Cops can prioritize as necessary. Seems wrong to assume the looters were all just trying to feed their starving children, as opposed to hitting the pharmacy or other non necessities. And how do we know the food was about to go bad, or about to…

Can’t wait to see your spin when it’s Best Buy...oh wait, fuck you!

Scam artist megalomaniacs masquerading as men of God seldom are.

I’m a Christian but I always view televangelists as shysters. Just seems like everyone of them is a con artist. They never to speak to the spirit in me.

Right... Taylor said lets release the album on the day Kanye’s mother died...

Yah...I am sure Taylor is sobbing in her giant mansion into piles of money.

Probably the same way damn near everybody else would - “oh, shit, I had no idea it was on that day.”

I think it’s a stretch to say this was done on purpose. Just my opinion. But Black Twitter is gonna Twitter i guess.

The date the album was going to be released was setup by her label, mainly due to other album release, specifically on Fridays.

Who keeps track of the day that someone else’s mother died?

I think we’re at a point where people aren’t interested in hearing about how a person who was shot by the police was going nuts with a knife seconds before. If you’re not a white man, it’s never acceptable to shoot you.
