The comments in this posts have everything I hoped to not see again once I left reddit for Lemmy ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Like I've been mansplined before and it wasn't fun. And no, women are less likely to do that because of societal reasons, not genetics ๐Ÿ˜‚. I'm not even sure if some of the comments come from scientists, with the amount of confusion over social/genetic causes.

Anyways, if you think someone needs help with something, always ask. And when talking to someone, ESPECIALLY if it's a colleague/classmate, don't try dumbing down the conversation unless you know the person you're talking to won't understand it.

Tbh my only gripe with this post is the assumption that because a man is explaining something to a group of women, it's automatically mansplaining. Although I guess it's a joke so whatever.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Yeah it's not meant to be taken seriously. It's because of the girls' deadpanned expression that it was just twisted this way. Nobody actually believes that this picture is mansplaining. Just a funny coincidence.

Going meta is always allowed. Just say you're dumbing it down, that you don't mean to be condescending, and invite them to interrupt if they already understand.

Yes, exactly!

Given the /aiml URL they've got there I suspect that this is actually a picture of one of their real graduates pitching yet another terrible AI service that burns half a rainforest to badly summarize diet advice or something.

im disappointed now that the realization that people could have been making funny jokes about mansplaining has set in.

Jesus, this comment section is the sort of shit I'd expect from Reddit, lighten up, people!

If they get a phd, they get a mall ninja sword like Finland.

I hate that I have to political aline with these people

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

Who are these people?

Edit: interesting couple of answers here

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

People who just assume that the add is sexist because a man is talking to women.

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nobody is calling the ad sexist lol. The joke is that it's a bad picture because all the women look bored/unimpressed/annoyed.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I need to get off social media. My brain is just fucked up from the constant hostility.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

People with a sense of humour.

We hate that we have to POLITICALLY ALIGN with you.

Also it's "ad" not "add".
