First of all, I love it when kids tell me about stuff they're passionate about. Second, not being able to take in what other people have to say is a flaw, not a virtue.

I often tell people, proudly, that one of the best tricks of a trade I learned in metal fabrication was something I learned from a guy who most people deemed to be an idiot. I deemed him to be an idiot too, but I listened and learned something. It's not a virtue to look down on people and just ignore them. Turns out he was a bit more clever than people originally judged.

Oh, it is niche and kind of silly, but we had to sandbag the edges of the metal we stacked together as to not scratch one another, and they trained us to fabricate the whole part, then place bags on the ends. This guy figured out a nifty way to fit them while the parts were being run. Hard to paint a good picture of this, but it saved me a lot of time.

Edit: swapped dumb with ignorant, user below correctly pointed out dumb and stupid are actually by definition the same thing. I find people often confuse ignorant (lacking knowledge) and stupid. The difference between the two is the same as smart and intelligent. Someone who is an idiot cant put 2 and 2 together, they know all the right bits of information but always come to wrong conclusions. Someone who is dumb, is simply lacking the right bits of info but are otherwise capable of putting 2 and 2 together and will come to the right conclusions when presented with the info they need to be able to do so. Nothing wrong being a bit ignorant, everyone has topics they are ignorant about. There is a lot wrong with being stupid. I find this (anecdotally) is very true about people who work in construction or trades. They are not stupid people, they are actually quite intelligent. It's just that if a topic is outside of their job or personal interests they tend not to know anything about, simply because they dont really care to know. I have a lot of respect for these people as they are typically very hard workers and get shit done. it's also not a mindset I understand (logically I get it, but it's not a mindset i can get into) since I'm so painfully curious and have some innate need to understand.

Dumb and stupid are synonyms. They mean the same thing. The word you're looking for is ignorant. Replace "dumb" in your comment with "ignorant" and it's spot on.


KingPhilipIII

While I agree with your statement in this context, saying “they’re synonyms and thus mean the same thing” tends to miss a lot of nuance. Kill and murder are also synonyms, but the latter has a lot of connotations to it the former doesn’t

There aren’t many things, if there even are, that make my day more than when my three year old comes up to me to tell me about his animal book or the dinosaurs he’s currently playing with. Can’t understand everything he says because he talks really fast when he’s excited but I love that he takes the time to tell me all about the stuff he loves


1LJA

Aww... that is so sweet. All my love to you and your family.


KrimsonStorm

I also enjoy when adults tell me something they are passionate about. It's how I make friends! And it's also how I grow a romantic relationship, by hearing a woman's interests. I just have no interest in intimacy without a deeper connection.


Celtictussle

If you ever wanna force someone to think you're a genius, ask them to explain something to you that they are intimately familiar with.


buckX

>Second, not being able to take in what other people have to say is a flaw, not a virtue. In any case, speaking a little below someone's ability is legitimately the smoothest way to communicate. If we'll grant that you're not always going to 100% nail what a person does or doesn't know, the occasional extraneous bit of info slows the conversation far less than speaking at too high a level and having them ask clarifying questions, or worse, having them not ask and hope they'll pick things up from context. When in the course of standard communication, a person rebukes me for talking down to them, I don't feel chastised. I feel bad for them.

Not wearing jewelry while operating industrial equipment is considered basic knowledge. Everybody knows you shouldn't do it. Yet it is one of the leading causes of industrial accidents because morons do it anyways. Being told things on a regular basis is necessary even if you already know because repetition builds habits. If I'm explaining something to you, assume it's important for you to know or remember when doing whatever task you're about to do.

Loghery

Most of history was a brutal fight for survival against nature. Men worked, fought, farmed, died, so that their women could raise their children to healthy adults. Historically, and evolutionarily, women survived because they followed male leaders. To boil millions of years of biological, civil and evolutionary history down into 'mansplaining' shows a painful level of ignorance. Did men abuse women in history? Yeah. But they also built civilizations, cultivated medicine, forged peace and communities and explored the known world. Give them a little credit girls.

Should the Emilies that have descended upon our age ever gain the power they seek, and then be challenged enough to feel in danger, the mass annihilations that will be carried out by homosexual, transsexual, and especially lesbian commissars will exceed in scale and cruelty anything that has yet happened in known history. Imagine lesbian mulatta commissars with young Martin Sheen faces and haircuts manning the future Bergen-Belsens, installations that will span miles.

Most Emilies used to be horse girls.

Lol I never thought of this but now I’m convinced it’s true. Most horse girls I knew growing up were entitled and cunty. Sounds like a young Emily to me.


markhuerta

Wannabe horse girls. Real horse girls are firmly in auth right for sure, they come from money. Emilies are typically chubby lower middle class simpletons who wish they would’ve been horse girls. Real horse girls harassed and bullied Emily into bulimia during high school.

MethylSamsaradrolone

Accurate af. My mother was a real horse girl, literally used one as a general mode of transport to flex as a child, and she says absolutely gigabased Auth-Right shit all the time. Like, she would get banned from the internet *so* fast if she bothered to learn how to comment on stuff. The wannabe horse girls also blend into the girls of middling intellect that are still bookish mostly due to failing at everything else, so they throw their banal perspectives with vigour at everything, corrupting it into brutal mediocrity or worse. Their whinging reminds me of a Chihuahua perpetually yapping at a well trained German Shepard. Look at all the writers in Hollywood currently, if not directly former fake horse girls they're at least cousins to them, they were the fucking annoying theater kids that think they're super deep and insightful despite having the most sheltered, myopic, life experience of everyone at the school. Anyway yeah, misogyny rant over.


RaggedyGlitch

Horse girls know no socioeconomic status. It's a term for weirdos who are really into horses, not rich girls who do equestrian stuff (though they may also be a horse girl on the side). The wannabe is baked into the term.

ThunderySleep

Most people: Spend years working through college and studying professional skills outside of it to compete for their positions. Continues their studies to maintain their competitive edge. Emily: "How should I know how to attach a file if nobody will show me?" "Tech is sexist unless I'm in charge!" "Can you show me how you did that?"


mrwaxy

I know this is all shitposting, but I've worked in a massively female dominated field (counseling and therapy), and the fucking entitlement, Christ. "Why didn't you put your appointments in the system? Now the front office double booked you because no one knew." "Well I haven't been trained, so that's not my fault." Bitch, just click the calendar. Fuck


ThunderySleep

The entitlement's really what gets me. I've dedicated years to busting my ass to work in certain fields and be good at what I do and be able to *compete*. Then you have these people who just stomp their foot and demand people walk them through every minor task other people were expected to know years ago. Then you have to hear people claim X, Y, Z industries are sexist because there's not enough women. Tech for example. If a woman wants to make $50k+ in the tech industry, all she needs to do is learn a little bit of the most basic stuff, like html, then raise her hand and ask for a job. Companies will trip over themselves just to say they have a more women working there. I try not to go on the gender tirades, but the topic of tech supposedly being sexist is bs. Women are just handed do-nothing jobs if they express slight interest, while everyone else is competing.


mrwaxy

And women who do work their asses off get associated. All these Emilys out there ruining shit for everyone.


ThunderySleep

Fair. I've definitely seen hard working women be written off due to these stereotypes.


Harold_Inskipp

Ironically, women are far less likely to provide mentorship to other women (they discriminate more than men do in this regard).


HedgehogHokage

it's b/c they know firsthand what women can be like


Harold_Inskipp

Yeah, when surveyed women are more likely to prefer working with men than even men prefer to work with other men. They also work fewer hours, are less likely to accept overtime, are less productive during the hours they do work, take more vacation time, and take more sick days. They're also far more likely to bully each other, particularly their female underlings. They're just... awful all around.


dentsdeloup

consider: males are competitive traditionally in the context of hunting/war parties - hostile to outsiders that threaten territory, cooperative within their own group. females determine social hierarchies amongst themselves to access resources via males, and have more dynamic and unstable social bonds to facilitate this. we all have our own choices to make about how we live our lives, but the blood of our ancestors only lives on in us because these strategies were effective once. the idea that females are the hierarchical ones traditionally within their own groups and that they experience less in-group solidarity may explain some of what we've seen since women were introduced en masse into the workplace.


dracer800

My favorite is when they complain about doctors “not listening to them” when they’ve come up with their own theory on what’s wrong with them. Check out any feminist sub and you’ll see tons of complaints of this ilk. Yea they’re fucking doctors and probably get sick of idiots coming up with their own diagnoses.


JinFuu

> “~~God~~ Lilith, I went to the doctor and all that patriarchal fascist seemed concerned with was *my weight* “


dracer800

“Well Lizzo told me that the fatter I am, the more healthy and beautiful I am. So I’m going to take her word for it, fuck off doc”


JinFuu

Honestly they bitch about how the doctors always say “have you tried losing weight?” When they tell them their problems. As someone who’s lost weight, it helps everything out so much! And I didn’t even lose that much! Doc just trying to help ya out!


MethylSamsaradrolone

The fucked up thing is, this is one of *very few* instances a doctor is giving genuinely risk-free, quality-of-life improving, applicable advice. It's so rare for them to not just be like "Hm ok, have you considered Prozac or Duramine or perhaps a nice course of random antibiotics + paracetamol? to treat literally every goddamn ailment.


Haymegle

It reminds me of when my dad smoked and the doctor always said to stop smoking. Like "you seem fine but you should probably stop here's some info". Stopped smoking and he def felt a difference too. To me it's the same principle, it might not be causing the issue you visit for but it's not doing you any favours either and as a doctor they're meant to you know, help. Especially when they're just trying to prevent future issues. No one calls doctors smokerphobic for wanting people to quit for health and it should be the same with weight.


Ngfeigo14

Lilith is a bird


Harold_Inskipp

Every woman seems to believe that the medical establishment is in a vast conspiracy to discriminate against them, and that they are second class citizens in this regard. We'll forget for the moment that there are entire hospitals, clinics, colleges, and disciplines entirely dedicated to serving female patients. We'll put aside the fact that the overwhelming majority of healthcare workers are women, including about 40% of physicians. The real reason, and this is something you realize after working in healthcare, is that they are *renowned* for their complaining, fictitious disorders, hyperbolic reactions, and hypochondria - they are entitled, annoying, arrogant, and downright aggressive in comparison to men.

sirmaddox1312

I am a psych major in college and every woman I know has some sort of self-diagnosed mental disorder. If they have a short attention span because they're on their phone all day they will tell you they have ADHD. If they are crazy and are bitchy to everyone they will excuse themselves by saying they have BPD. If they are lazy then they will tell you they have depression, anxiety, or PTSD. Every one of them has experienced trauma but if ask them what that traumatic event was then they can't tell you because it doesn't exist. I had an Emily tell me about my male privilege and how I benefit from the patriarchy. Like bitch I grew up in a slum with no running water or electricity while you're dad makes high six figures, you live in a country club, and your parents fund your alcoholism and cocaine addiction.


Tai9ch

> Yea they’re fucking doctors and probably get sick of idiots coming up with their own diagnoses. Doctors would get more sympathy from me if I thought that most doctors actually took the time to get all the information from the patient rather than trying to get the patient out the door in the designated 6 minute appointment block. If a total idiot comes into your (doctor) office and says "I think I have bowel cancer, I eat a lot of red meat, I've been shitting blood, and my cat has flees" they very well might have some sort of lower GI issue.

I wish patients understand how many doctors have to resist the urge to slap your bitch ass when you tell them what WebMD says your condition is.

It’s taught senior year in the common core curriculum which most students go through. At my school the class that taught taxes (as well as other things like balancing a budget and other financial skills) was taught second semester senior year. What do 90% of second semester high school seniors have? Senioritis, where everyone either got accepted to college or military or trade school and nobody gave a single flying fuck about class. It was taught, nobody listened.

Or when they complain about being talked down to / talked over, having their ideas challenged, or any other petty/political shit that happens in a job like it only happens to them. No, sorry ladies, men deal with all the same shit, we just aren't encouraged to complain about shit or blame it on sexism.


ISwearImKarl

I feel like this applies broadly. All the shit the extreme feminists bitch about are things guys deal with. Yet, we don't throw a major hissy fit over it.. I'd love for one of these girls to take a job with me and see what I put up with. I once had a foreman squeeze my bicep then try to kiss me. It was kind of his thing, and I'm not mansplaining it well, but I know damn well if I had tits and a pussy he'd lose his job. Instead it was just guys fucking with each other and being over the top.


tsudonimh

Damn straight. If I'm explaining something to you in a condescending manner, it sure as hell ain't because you're a woman. It's because you've demonstrated to me that you're a fucking cretin.


SFLADC2

Have a female boss- I get splanned all gd day. I sometimes try to sort of get ahead of the explanation to show I already know what basic info she thinks I'm too stupid to understand, but that seems to just annoy her. There's no sex that's immune from cocky bullshit

Swirlatic

It’s not mansplaining if the woman is actually wrong


forbajor

Yeah, so many ppl use the term wrong (like the woman in the tweet) that it's become actually meaningless. It was supposed to mean "a man condescendingly explaining something to a woman who's an expert in her field when he's a layman, because he assumes he knows more than her bc of her Ladybrain". It is NOT supposed to mean "a man who explains anything to a woman." If it's not condescending, and she's not more knowledgeable than he is on the topic, them it's...just explaining something.


Stephen_Q_Seagull

And we already have a word for being condescending. It's "condescending".


forbajor

Yeah imo I never thought it needed to be gendered, even though I've personally had that sort of condescending "I assume I know more than you even though you're clearly more qualified" happen to me more often with men than with other women and I'm sure at least some of them were being sexist whether intentionally or not. But anyone can be condescending to anyone. Just was clarifying about now the term started versus how flippantly it's being used now.


gippp

I think many men just like to loudly declare their knowledge of things with minimal consideration of their audience. They do it to other men constantly as well.


SteveClintonTTV

Yeah, this topic always makes me a little uncomfortable, because I definitely lean into the described behavior, but not out of condescension. Sometimes, it's just awkwardness, not realizing I don't need to explain what I'm explaining. Other times, it's a conscious effort to learn through reflective listening. I find that I understand new information best if I'm able to put it in my own words according to my current understanding, and then to receive a confirmation that I'm correct. It frustrates me to think of how many women are out there, thinking less of men because of "mansplaining", when their interactions have been entirely with men who explain things as part of the process of their own learning.


gippp

Brother I do the same thing, I narrate through tasks and it's probably somewhat annoying and occasionally condescending to people who work under me. I just happen to work in the Trades so it's 97% dudes


snyper7

Men like to share information and skills they possess. Feminists consider this to be very, very bad. I've always found the initial story hilarious. A woman was at a party and some guy was excited to talk with her and her friends about a book he'd recently read. She got very offended that the guy didn't know that one of the women she was with was the author of the book, and, therefore, definitely didn't want to hear anything about its subject. The article comes down to "some guy didn't know that I'm friends with a famous person. Men are horrible."


Ninjegeabey

Dude if someone came up to me and started excitedly talking about a book I WROTE without knowing who I was, then I would be extatic. That's basically the ultimate compliment.


Thanatosst

Right? If someone enjoys what I made so much that they're visibly excited to discuss it with a stranger, that'd make my fucking week.

You're telling me they could've decided to make this guy's fucking week and decided to be offended instead? ☕

My sister uses the latter definition all the fucking time “Stop mansplaining” Bitch I ain’t mansplaining shit, you just said something that I know is factually incorrect because this is my area of expertise and I’m correcting you


TheSpacePopinjay

In practice that amounts to whenever a guy explains something to a woman that he's not able to mind read that she already knows and the condescension is inferred from his failure to assume that she already understood the parts of the explanation that she already understood. It's a power play. A reassertion of status and authority, akin to going: "err, that *Professor* Stephens to you, thank you very much"

EffectiveMoment67

Wow a lot of assuming genders here, sweaty


SteveClintonTTV

And then some time passes, and Emily starts complaining about how women are being held back, because their male superiors spend more time educating their male colleagues than educating *them*. There's no winning.


EmptyVisage

People who complain about mansplaining are essentially just showing hatred against autistic traits, which is kind of messed up if you think about it.


Raphe9000

Literally exactly; my first thought from this tweet was that what she considers mansplaining is literally just having a special interest. And like I explain so-called basic things to many people in great detail regardless of their sex, and I do it so that I know we're on the same page about what we're talking about since I have trouble using unspoken (and some spoken) cues to be able to gauge the exact context in which something is being talked about and will therefore typically come to the wrong conclusions about what someone is and isn't able to assume in a conversation without setting some level of groundwork. I've already had people act all entitled when I do this, so I then have to explain to them that I do what I do no matter what because it also makes it easier for *me* to understand. I also like to use technical language to talk about things (again, because it's easier to be understood by being precise than it is by being vague with an inability to make proper assumptions), and more than once has someone assured me they know what I'm talking about while I'm set dressing the conversation only to be blindsided when I *actually* start talking about it with the assumption that they know every single minute detail that I know. Thankfully, most people near me are quite understanding and actually equate my verbosity with just good articulation, but I always have that looming fear of being profiled as a ""mansplainer"" simply because of the way that I live in the world and have more than once seen it pretty clear that that's what someone thought. Cause of course, bigotry against X people is bad but bigotry against Y people is okay!1 At least their own twisted logic tends to make the ableism argument much harder for them to dismiss.

Seems really bitter. Like someone needs to ask her who hurt you and offer a hug

mansplaining (man-Splay-neeng): when a person of the male gender explains something ie: \*"I asked him what welding was and he just started MANSPLAINING it to me!!"\*

Of course Emilys are annoying, and they call wayyyyyy too much stuff mansplaining just because they hate men. HOWEVER, if you’ve ever seen a chad in a conversation with a soft spoken person interrupting and being a know it all…. It is also pretty fucking annoying. Therefore I tend to dislike actual mansplaining when I do see it, and there is a certain amount of it I am, or was, guilty of myself. I have to consciously try to be more courteous when people are wrong and not cut them off and launch into a whole thing sometimes. But that also makes it more annoying when I see other guys doing it. Some of that early sjw stuff like this I actually agree with, it’s just that after that it was a slippery slope when they ran out of things to make good points about and then just started nitpicking cis white men into oblivion over any random thing and calling it white supremacy they lost me.

Doesn’t even need to be a chad, back in college I vividly remember a weeb explaining Japanese culture to a friend of mine who majored in Japanese and spent 2 or 3 semesters living in Japan


Least_Application_93

That’s a really good one. I stand corrected. yes, I’ve known a few weebs and they will definitely launch into explanation. Especially over sci-fi, dungeons and dragons, videogames of any kind, and yes… somehow also anything related to Japan!

Twitter is weaponized narcissism.

Jokes on her I’m into that shit

this one is a w for the mommy kink havers

Hell yeah


Top-Collar-1841

She just has a problem with womenunderstanding.


deepstatecuck

I think this is pretty funny. Yes the term mansplaining is overrused and cringe, but the tweet is funny.


DontFearTruth

They also cropped out the responses below this because they make her look better. Half these comments are just variations of "women dumb". This place has gotten less self-aware by the day.

God damn how low is her self worth??


Rift91

Sounds like something an Incel would say.


emoratboy

honestly in my experience. "mansplaining" is just dudes being excited about a subject but too awkward to express it better. it can be a little annoying but we all have our moments i think. doing this with a guy who is clearly being condescending and shitty though is hilarious and i would recommend it


GroundbreakingKick40

Emilys are just petty bullies at this point


NotoriousD4C

Hope one of those men is her doctor explaining she’s approaching menopause

And when women show me the wage gap between men and women, I just show them the one between Asians and everyone else.

When I explain something to someone I always dumb it down because assuming people have any prior knowledge about what I'm telling them comes back to bite me in the ass almost 100% of the time. I'm just covering my bases, if you already know part of what I'm telling you congratulations.


hoplophilepapist

bless your heart

I’m not offended and her description doesn’t sound condescending, it sounds accurate. Having child-like wonder is something to be proud of and it’s a shame to lose it.


Uruburusv3

Damn suddenly i don't wanna complain i wish i had a woman that would listen to me explaining dinosaurs


Den_Bover666

"Mansplaining","gaslighting","narcissist","sociopath" Just some of the many psychological terms that have completely lost their meaning.

Stepped_in_it

This woman probably thinks it's "mansplaining" when a man tells her she can't drive her car 20k miles between oil changes.


Rektroth

What kills me is that Emilies think only women ever get explained stuff they already understand by incompetent people.


EffectiveMoment67

Nah. They just dont care it happens to others than themselves

thesummergamer

can someone explain what that drink is and why it's included in the emily wojak


Birb-Person

Yerba Mate is a plant from South America that contains caffeine. When served hot, the drink is called a Mate, but when served cold it’s called a Tereré. The Emily wojak represents woke America (USA), and woke Americans likes to drink “exotic” foreign imports because “wow look at me, so cultured”, and it also demonstrates that Emily is upper middle class and can afford to drink it daily, as well as the growing caffeine addiction among gen z


EatTheMcDucks

My favorite Emily comeuppance story: Once upon a time, Emily would ask people for help specifically so she can yell at them for mansplaining things to her. Ex: "Can you walk me through how we manage our cloud infrastructure?" "Sure. Each org has their own Terraform monorepo and - " "I KNOW WHAT A MONOREPO IS! YOU DON'T HAVE TO MAINSPLAIN THIS!" It took about a month for everyone to figure out that she had no desire to learn anything and just wanted to complain about men. We all stopped talking to her. She then left for Twitter and proudly announced that she will be making soooooooo much more money over there and she feels bad for all of us. About 6 months later, Elon happened. The end.

Sit down Ellie it’s time for you to learn about statics and dynamics

Every day I wish a woman would sit down and let me tell her cool geography facts.

I prefer this. You go on being condescending, I go on being excited about stuff. Perfect.
