Title: Mansplaining.......i don't get it
Post by: Obvious Li on May 11, 2014, 07:21:40 AM
seems pretty straightforward feminist propaganda to me.....mistakenly ????



Definition:  

" Mansplaining

The tendency of some men to mistakenly believe that they automatically know more about any given topic than does a woman and who, consequently, proceed to explain to her- correctly or not- things that she already knows. "

Feminist propaganda?? That is a spot-on definition of every fucking guy I have ever known.

I'm not a nag.   I got from asking to ass kicking.  There's no in between.



But for the record, I've been with my husband for over 16 years so I must be doing something right.

Naw Gary.  He used my copy as back up toilet paper.  He said it was too scratchy so I don't think he's like more.

It doesn't sound like a very good book Real Woman.

It wasn't a good book at all.

I realised something about a lot of men - they're selfish.

A lot of men are thoughtful too.

I think they can be thoughtful but still, in general, they are more selfish than women.

I hope you didn't JUST figure that out.



A lot of men never grow beyond the "little boy" stage of their lives. It's all about what they want and many of them will hold their breath until they turn blue until they get it.

I'm very selfless so I didn't really notice it until recently when I decided to be less selfless.

Interesting. Being selfless is very good up to a point. I hope your decision to be "less selfless wasn't because you were allowing yourself to become a doormat.

Post by: RW on May 14, 2014, 03:54:42 PM
Do I strike you as a doormat?  



I made that call because I've realised you don't get back what you give and I'm tired of feeling disappointed.

Not around here but I have no idea what you are like in RL.



Do any of us really know each other....no. We only react to what is written.



BTW, sorry to hear that you don't get back what you give. Perhaps you've been giving it up to the wrong people?  :lol:

Putting the needs of others ahead of our own desires can be difficult and often thankless.
