Mansplain Manipulate Male-pattern baldness

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Ah yes. Very wordy.

Hey now, mansplaining does have its uses..

Mansplaining Now Tops Condoms as Most Effective Contraceptive

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

(Fyi condoms are not the most effective)

Not yet at least in freedom-land

Spiral?

From the comments so far: being an ugly gay man with a vasectomy.

It's a portmanteau, actually. 👨‍🏫 A portmanteau is a word formed by merging the sounds and meanings of two different words.

Thanks mister male!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is a more accurate comment, you can tell because the spelling is correct and the content is plausible.

Ah man, I was hoping someone would explain the explanation of the explanation for some laughs... But noooooooooo.....

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

I think that makes the meme more accurate, it's almost not mansplaining if it's not also subtly but confidently wrong.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Bruh i hate it so much when someone ASKS ME a question and when im explaining they say im mansplaining. Also apperently if youre an expert in a subject and happen to be man and explain something in that field to someone thats mansplaining.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

But then you get to mansplain mansplaining! That's my hobby. My daughter loves it.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago

Similarly, I hate it when you're excitedly rambling on about your hobby and someone claims you're mansplaning.

Early in my career (office job), I was standing in the cubes and 2 coworkers (a man and a woman, neither had children) were having a conversation about parenting, the man turns to me to directly ask me for my thoughts since I was the only one of us 3 who had kids (he said this out loud), and as I was answering, the woman interrupted me to complain that I was mansplaining parenting.

She's an outlier in that workplace though. Just a jerk.

Shut up penis!

My girlfriend is using the word "mansplaining" incorrectly and I don't know what to do about it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago

I once heard a woman complain about another woman "mansplaining" depression to her. In my head, I was just "sure. whatever".

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Maybe you can explain the correct usage to her.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I'm a new dad and I get womansplained now a lot. "You need to tip the bottle so there's milk in the nipple of it" was a recent one

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

My husband is a stay-at-home, homeschooling dad with LOTS of parenting experience, thanks to fostering for over 10 years and having six permanent kids between the ages of 11 and 31. We call it momsplaining when some other homeschool mom with only 1-2 kids tries to tell him how to parent our infant foster son.

How rude of them to explain to you how to properly feed whiskey to a baby.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

The proper way is with cigars and Motörhead

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I was always scared my infodumping would be called that. But now I'm socially transitioned so I can infodump to my heart's content!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Can you explain socially transitioned to me? I could look it up myself but something tells me you'd like to explain it and I'd get a more nuanced take on it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

In public I present as my correct gender, I am no longer hiding it nor in an in-between state.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

Hope you feel more like you.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago

Ugh... I can't stand this. But Skeletor is just the right person to do it.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Thank you. As the inventor of the term “mansplaining”, I had no idea and would have remained ignorant if you hadn’t explained this.

Mansquaring

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The body builder with claws and a skull for a face is the character, Skeletor from He-Man for those of you not aware. Or maybe you recognize him from She-Ra? Was Skeletor in She-Ra? I don't know I never watched that show.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

He made brief appearances, I think. She-Ra is He-Man's sister who lives in another dimension, and I vaguely remember occasional crossovers. Hordak was her regular big-bad, though. I'm sure there's a MotU nerd in here somewhere who knows better than me.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Is skeletor actually a male? Does he have a penis or is it just bones down there?

Perhaps Obelix fell into the Genderfluid?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

C'mon now, you are on 196 you should know penis ≠ man

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

He doesn't have anything there since he's a skeleton, and humans don't have bones in their genitals

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Was skeletor born a skeleton?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

What is it to you? Why are you questioning the arch-enemy of Eternia?
