Glad to hear he nailed the answer, otherwise it might’ve been embarrassing
What’s the Lemmy version of r/thathappened?
I do believe you missed the point. 🤣
To me it’s funny because it’s true. And I’m a guy.
To me it’s funny because its made up but people believe it .
Yes, this example is probably made up to illustrate the concept.
If you work with women and haven’t seen something comparable, then you aren’t paying attention.
this really isn’t even that unbelievable
I’d like to think the guy answered as a joke.
Could we not bring that nothing is real garbage here for stuff that does not at all matter if it is true or not.

The other day my sister-in-law used the word “mansplaining”. My mother asked what that meant and I started to tell her before I even realized what I was doing.
That’s not mansplaining, that’s just explaining. Mansplaining is when you explain stuff to a woman you wouldn’t explain if a man was in their place. I.e. you start explaining car stuff to a female mechanic.
According to social media, mansplaining is any occurrence of a man explaining anything to anyone. Which makes sense I guess, I mean you can hear it in the name. But they fail to explain why we need to create gendered verbs. I thought gendered nouns (fireman etc) were already considered a problem.
Yeah well, nobody uses “mansplaining” that way unless they are insane. It has a specific meaning - which is a very annoying thing to experience. So unless someone considers every information attained from a man as “annoying”, “explaining” works well for that.
I understand what you say it means, but obviously it’s not “nobody”.
Leave it to the internet people to get hung up on a single word…
A single word can make an enormous difference
He did qualify it with “unless they are insane”
“Probably pretty bad”
“No it’s awful!”
