depends, whose tears?PurringMyrrh wrote: »PurringMyrrh wrote: »Mansplaining is just another word created by feminazis that cry about equality then preach inequality. Feminazis that have mugs with sayings like "male tears" on the side, but would completely lose it and go on a soapbox rant if a man had a mug that said "female tears"
That mug is actually really funny when you go on urban dictionary and look up what 'male tears' means
I already know it's semen, and it's still feminazi misandry.
That being said, do you want a mug full of female tears?
edit: totally agree on the misandry bit though.0 -
I respect respect women who don't whine about men. Or whine about much at all. If you come off as a dingbat or a child then yes, I'll be condescending. Grow a pair of lady balls.6

john, female humans are complicated because they have "emotions" which cause "feelings". these things are useful to female humans in ways that are too difficult to explain to you without creating some kind analogy involving football and fishing. why don't you just go do your beer-drinking fantasy sports thing and we'll talk about it some other time
This is the woman version of "mansplaining". . We call it "Background noise". .3 -

It's absolutely possible talk about systemtic disadvantages to the sexes (both of them even!) due to current patriarchal standards, without it being "whining," or us acting like a "dingbat" or a "child."
But I suspect based on your post that you check out mentally pretty quickly when you hear the word "patriarchal." You don't seem like the kind of guy willing to have an actual conversation about social standards, given that you only deign to take seriously women who don't agitate you.1 -

Not a bad passive aggressive victim card play mixed with a mind reading attempt. I give it 5 points for the former and 2 for the latter. Maybe a little more shrill next time?

No, I'm sorry, you totally misunderstood me:
I don't know where in my post you see a passive-aggressive display of victimhood -- and I actually don't give a *kitten* where you saw it, so please don't start to mansplain at me what I meant in what I wrote.1 -

Women are a MILLION times better at conversations
Talking with guys usually bores me to tears.0 -
You've convinced me, men are clearly superior beings. I mean, I'm willing to ignore women's restricted access to education, finances, human rights, and all, because with that access women SURELY could never have made similar achievements.3

this post caused me to waste an hour reading the history of programming languages on wikipedia
(there were a lot of interesting links)
first, i wouldn't have guessed SQL came before C++
second, looks like most historians do consider her the world's first programmer
I don't know what "most historians" means. However, if someone has actually read the Babbage papers you can consider them more of a reference.
See: http://athena.union.edu/~hemmendd/Courses/cs80/an-engine.pdf
page 197, first column, middle of the page.
"In particular, matters such as the intended user’s instruction set are difficult to determine, although there are several dozen sample programs prepared between 1837 and 1840 (all, incidentally, substantially predating the preparation of Ada Lovelace’s notes, which incorporate several of them)."
Do you really think that the person that invented the Analytic Engine could do so without thinking out some of the programming of said engine?
She was instrumental in communicating the process and ideas, a fine mathematician in her own right, but Babbage is the inventor of the AE and the language behind it.

Actually, no. Well, yes, but in the case of mansplaining, our sensitivity is irrelevant. An example - I replied to a man today in a mansplaining way and he replied that I didn't have to say it like that. When I told my hubs, he laughed, and said I picked that up from him. So men are offended by the way men speak in general. Right?
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the definition of "Mansplaining". In this case, the "Mansplaining" was done by a woman. So, ironically, we have "Womansplaining" in a thread complaining about "Mansplaining".
No, it wasn't mansplaing. But let me mansplain to show you why it wasn't.
Note the second sentence - "well yes" is an admission that in fact, women may be a bit more sensitive. Are you following me so far? Ok, good. So later in that sentence after that (still the second sentence, but after the "well yes") (remember now, the "well yes" is critical to you understanding this) I said that our sensitivity is irrelevant. Mansplaining is not an issue of female sensitivity but male unconscious condescending tone. See? So the real irony is not the woman mansplaining, but the woman explaining mansplaining to a man regarding the sesivities of women and the man being sensitive to this and calling it mansplaining by a woman who then has to manaplain why it wasn't mansplaining.
Now, I was thinking you could use a little tea, maybe take couple of deep breaths, you know how you get when you argue on the internet with strangers honey.
TL;DR

How did this thread go from a simple explanation of a definition to a pointless argument about the sexes? If you feel the need to argue, perhaps you didn't exercise enough for the day......1
