Yes. It’s incredibly frustrating.
Yes. It’s incredibly frustrating.
That’s horrible. I hate that “I don’t want to get involved” shit when it actually translates to “I’m chicken so I plan to support the power structure or whatever side keeps me under the radar.”
It is probably frustrating to have your opinion on something with a gender/racial/sexual/etc. aspect discounted because of you are male/white/straight/whatever.
C) Finally, while some (very few in my personal observations) women in “immediate professional circles where they dominate culture” (such as teaching or nursing) will condescend to men, that’s definitely not the “female equivalent of mansplaining”.
Oh, no- men will still mansplain to female teachers, and everyone will bow down to the male teacher as if he invented teaching and literally pees champagne. They are usually assumed to be geniuses and behave as such.
I don’t know who that is...Was he the guy that shot John Lennon?
Sometimes you want to shut the conversation down though. I’m totally fine with shutting down a conversation if someone is mansplaining to me. If I want to engage, I will, but I’m not obligated to educate anyone about sexism.
Yep. One abusive dude is scary enough, but when he rounds up his dudebros, you’re done.
Not surprised at all by by any of this. Men close ranks almost as fast as doctors and cops. It’s like a parlor trick, except that it’s not entertaining at all.
Mr. Access asked me exactly what mansplaining was, so I used an example from “Mad Men.” When Peggy is working on one of her early campaigns (the Belle Jolie one?), she says something in a meeting about how to market the product. Don says, “Peggy, you don’t know what women want.” Which is advanced mansplaining: You…
He’s my favourite example to bring up of children of celebrities who are woefully undertalented. I’ve been aware of his suckage since the 90s and I remember telling people when the Wallflowers were on the charts that while it certainly was no secret who Jakob Dylan’s dad was, at least he didn’t seem to be desperately…
It’s actually really common. A friend f mine lives in a small town and works in admin/secretary work. She was abused by her husband, who was a rather powerful guy, and left him and moved back home (early 30s). Everyone lives in this small town. She had obvious bruises. Everyone knew what was going on.
This is truly awful. Some of it is not surprising, but the part about her being fired by multiple places - WTF?? That is messed up.
My guess is that the founders of the show are friends with the guy in the scenario, so her band is not allowed to preform there.
Indeed, before he went down the well of fighting the concept of mansplaining to increasingly hilarious results, his initial argument boiled down to “Talented men are allowed to hit their women and no one should pay any attention to that,” which, yeah, rich coming from the child of a man who confessed to punching that…
Dear Sean Lennon,
A) Your father smacked women around but I doubt you learned your attitude to “the Jimi Hendrix boycott scenario” from John;
B) Men definitely condescend to women and have been used to doing it for at least 10,000 years;/ Let’s be honest.; and,
C) Finally, while some (very few in my personal…
Not really. The point that I always took away from it, is that there are men who talk down to women about shit they already know. Simply because this man assumes that women are too stupid/feminine/something to know X thing!
Please grow up and stop cos-playing your dead father and his mates, you fucking idiot.
#MakeMansplainingFunForMen that’s not how you insert it
Like abusive shit-ass father, like son.
