I agree with the sentiment that shit behavior like this is shit behavior, and should be dealt with the same way across the board, no matter what pathetic excuse the culprit offers up after being caught and outed. She fucked up, and should absolutely have to live with everything that comes her way because of it. I get…

There’s so much to unwrap in this story, which we probably never will get to, but that is one of the more striking things to read there. She says “...so I just acted like I thought a man would do.”

Latino?

People grow up dude.

Just because I’m talking about a black man makes it racist? Being an asshole isn’t exclusive to skin color in my experience, but you know what, if you want to hate me for an imagined insult go ahead.

The whole point was that Cam Newton is a dick, how are they not related then? EDIT: Also, read what I posted, technically it’s more than two things.

Oh no, I don’t think we should condemn him for the four incidents above (including the cheating), but I would argue that current events show he hasn’t changed, and that if you look back there is a pattern of douchebaggery from then (and probably before) to now.

Have you not followed his career at all? That was not an isolated incident. I’ll just leave this one example here, copied from his Wikipedia page:

Lol, yeah, that totally sounds like something Cam Newton would do. He probably bought the douche-bro a car and named a child after him.

Step one in getting respect is to not use words like mansplaning. Being an asshole is genderless. Im a man and deal with both genders being condicending daily at work.

Then why is there a comment section?

I agree there, but they could at least write an article about confronting patronising a*holes, rather than just lump in into “mansplaining”

I agree, I thought I clicked on a Jezebel article.

The site is almost unrecognizable from how it used to be five years ago. It used to be chock-full of fantastic tech articles, loads of stuff that triggered major areas of learning and interest for me. I build PCs, repair Macs and set up Linux virtual machines because of my learnings from Lifehacker circa 2012-2014.…

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.

What is jezebel for? Articles just like this.

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…
