Some dork at work would mansplain to me.  I would make a joke such as, "and he was eating squid eyeballs!  It's like the Japanese lost a war or something to eat food like that."

And this ace dude would interject as everyone was having a hearty laugh, "well actually, they did lose a war.  It was known as . . . " 

He just sucked the air out of the room and ruined my hilarity.  I still fantasize about just punching him in the face and everyone ignoring it.

He sounds pretty cool

User banned (2 weeks): condescending mansplaining + previously warned for condescendingly speaking down to marginalised people

I don't agree with Brazil's opinion on her at all (though I do wish others would read his follow-up posts instead of jerking their knees here), but there is nothing sexist in what he said. A lot of the so-called criticism of Clinton you see around does come from sexism, but there's also plenty of legitimate reasons to criticize her too. Let's not conflate things here.

Glad the ResetEra mod team is so invested in clarifying what is and isn't sexism.

So you wanna weigh in on this one or what

She was on Graham Norton last weekend and it had never occurred to me just how much her voice grates. That upwards inflection that she does even multiple times within a fucking sentence is chalkboard and nails to me.

I'll wait

I still maintain that Morrigan is the most thin-skinned cunt on the mod team. She gets away with her behaviour because of reasons I am unable to comprehend. Straight up cunt of a human.

mansplaining isnt a real thing you absolute pillocks

Like many things, it has a good basis but gets twisted into a unrecognizable form and misused.
A man chiding/correcting whatever, something a woman does or says isn't necessarily mansplaining.

A really straightforward example, hm, what could you use to describe aside from buffoonery say... me trying to correct a woman on something to do with ovulation cycles that somehow became a conversation point?

I don't use the c-word but she is not a nice lady.

I'm sure countless women doctors know more about sperm and prostates than me. Something is either right or wrong, regardless of whose mouth it comes out of.

But I will say that what mansplain was originally meant to convey is a real thing: sexist condescension. If a man tells a woman something in a condescending way because she's a woman, that would fit the original intent. But the term has been poison since the start, and as you said, has only gotten twisted and worse since then.

There's no way to know if a person is being a condescending asshole due to sexism, unless he says something like 'woman please' or whatever else is cartoonishly stupid. We have a word for condescending people already, to inject your own perception into a routine social interaction is something i'm just going to laugh at.

I've known plenty of condescending, pushy people who talk over others and think they know everything, and about half were men and half were women.

One of the benefits of being genderfluid is that when accused of "mansplaining" you can FACT CHECK their bigot ass for not understanding that you identified as not male during that moment.

That would be a less controversial use, yeah. Though I'd say that yo mama doesn't need to be fat for yo mama jokes to work, either. It's just that people get hung up on being singled out for their identity.

I thought the term "negro" was a slur but there were some recent articles posted on resetera that casually use it

https://www.resetera.com/threads/the-root-pete-buttigieg-is-a-lying-mf.155393/

This post is a pretty gussied-up way to say "But black people say it, why can't I say it?"

fuck off, you troll. The word appears in the first sentence of an article on a fairly mainstream site and no one in that thread reacts to it. It made me wonder if outside my country it saw use.

Wtf, calm down dude.

And no, that word isn't mainstream even if it is in a mainstream site.

Guy managed several leaps of logic from my posting a link to the word being used where people's reactions did not match my own to it meaning I must want to secretly chant the word in public. I've worked on anti-racism campaigns before, I'm not going to put up with some internet troll trying to stir up drama for e-points.

And I didn't say the word was mainstream, I said the site was, i.e. not a fringe source that might sneak an offensive word in there for an agenda. I don't see how you could conclude from that that I'm saying the word is mainstream.

That's a whole other ball game. Mansplaining is certainly "a thing" though, regardless of whether you think it should exist as a concept. And I'm enough of a condescending bore to feel the need to point it out.

You can't say it's meaningless, then give a (reductive) explanation of its meaning. That's against some kind of rule, I'm sure.

He 100% says colour. I've listened to it 10 times trying to hear 'talent' and there's no 't' sound. It's colour.

Narrator: Except Arkestry was 100% wrong.

[Potato]

He clearly says colour (or at the very least definitely not talent) though because as you can seen in the video you posted exactly how the man says the word talent. It's very distinct and phonetic. It's impossible to mix up with with the word colour. The t's are clear (you can hear both of the them in the second but none in the first) and likely how he was brought up to pronounce that word.

Whether it was on purpose, who knows.

Impossible you say? So why have you managed to mix it up you fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellowed, basement-dwelling, tendies-eating fuckwit?

i've never heard the phrase "people of talent" before personally

What a surprise! People with no talent have never heard the phrase...

It basically means 'we should be like Australia where we only let people in if they have skills we need'.

Yes? Is this a problem?

No one in that Sasha Grey thread is shaming her, But apparently mentioning that she is a pornstar is misogyny or something. How will the mods spin this?

some of you have a screw loose. Apparently it is OK for someone to do porn, but God forbid someone say they liked it. If it is fine to do it it should be fair game to discuss after you are done. No one would even know who she is if not for her sex videos(which lead to some mainstream work) so this holier than thou attitude some of you are trying to pull is complete and utter bullshit and rather hypocritical. There is some perspective. You are welcome.

 

she's clearly more than just a former porn actor (considering that according to her wiki she hasn't appeared in an adult movie in a *decade*) so to just reduce her to that without even bothering to comment on anything else is lazy and stupid at best
