Male paternalism at its worst. Burn ‘em all.

Exactly. She had a wedding to attend and didn’t need to waste time on BS. We swallow a lot of mess to simply keep peace, only for folks not essential to the matter at hand to insert their nosey selves into the situation and make it worse. As if the pilot didn’t have enough pilot-y things to do than be an ass to a…
I totally agree. American and Delta are two airlines that won’t get any money from me in the future. And—one doesn’t have to remail calm or rational while being mistreated, after having spent *money* on a service. Why is it that the customer, especially when black, has to remain level-headed in the midst of…
Congratulations bro, you’re a fucking genius.
People already say things like that about pussies. You’ve never heard the phrase ‘meat curtains’? Furthermore, I have never sent an unsolicited V pic.
It’s a metaphor. No one is saying penises literally look like rotten maggot-infested produce. It’s just a more colorful way of saying that it’s something that no one wants to look at unbidden.
Not to add to repetition, but the fact you’re confused why all of that needed to be said means you might have issues picking up on the obvious. Unsolicited dick pics and sexual harassment involving men whipping out their penis is sadly an issue in the world today, and far too many men don’t realize that they should…
Because it seems that a great many men are under the delusion that everyone else should find their penis delightful and enchanting.
Easy son. We don’t get props for behaving like a normal person. NOT jerking off in front of unwilling participants, and not being sexual predators is normal expected behavior.
I’m an Army Reserve Nurse, and even tho I’m divorced and listed as such on my records-I had to ask my Major if it’s cool that I wear a ring and just make up a husband in conversation......ALL so I could avoid unwanted sexual advances, from my fellow soldiers.
I think you answered your own question here. The practice of mansplaining is a gendered social norm in a way that it isn’t for women. It’s overconfidence plus socialized power dynamic at work. And as such, addressing it has to also encompass aspects of gender that characterize it. It’s a logical approach, so I’m not…
Please tell me more. Were there “fine people” on both sides in Charlottesville as well?
It always has been. Men condescend disproportionately to women. Now that young women are, on average, more educated than men, and men are still explaining stuff we already know to us on a regular basis, this is getting named and called out.
Or what I tell my five year old son: “Keep your hands to yourself. Personal Space.” Seriously, is it that fucking hard for an adult to grasp that????
While I think your intentions are pure, I’m not sure you are considering the full scope of the “problem”. And I’m pretty sure you aren’t really terribly sympathetic to the “reporters”.
That is true.
None of those rise to the level of open harassment that these women reported. All of those are poor social skills, however, so maybe the type of men you encounter need to go to finishing school before being allowed into the workplace? I don’t know, I’m a gentleman.
Sorry not buying it.
