Every single one of them look like their eyes are about to roll right out of their heads.
Us-vs-them attitudes are super cool and good.
Generally I do agree with that statement. But I think this can be taken in a lighthearted manner. Not every joke needs to be so PC to the point where you're afraid to say anything and all humor is lost. Humor is subjective tho so I think it's fair to not like the joke.
Its ok. He's probably explaining how menstruation works
...are you presuming her gender?..it's a woman's right to grow a beard if she chooses...
One joke
I choose to believe the more wholesome version that this is their gay, autistic, and genuinely endearing friend who got started on his special interest without realizing that nobody else cared, and his friends otherwise like him enough that they're trying to figure out how to move the conversation forward without hurting his feelings after they all lost interest minutes ago.
"So during Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Spock is passing through decks in the Enterprise, and we see one called Deck 78. Now you see, this class of Enterprise only has 23 decks, and so unless we assume someone misnamed this deck, how did this one get here? Some fans have speculated that maybe maybe Q put it there as a practical joke to confuse the audience, but why would Q use the number 78 specifically? This could be a reference to the episode All Our Yesterdays in The Original Series which is production code 78. In this episode, Spock reverts to being emotional like his primitive ancestors after traveling back through time, and this could be hinting to the idea that he secretly feels emotions for his half-brother Sybok who's the antagonist of the movie."
I’m more intrigued by what appears to be a ghost arm behind his right shoulder.
It's the hair of yet another lady sitting in the background.
Okay, the building name is the chef's kiss.
Nice! Amazing what a few extra pixels can do.
I thought he had a huge ponytail
Looks like the back of someone's head to me, but the picture is kind of blurry
Fats his fabulous raccoon's tail.
Dude must drive a
T-topR-top trans-am
a ghost arm behind his right shoulder.
The arm of the student who literally died of boredom.
It looks to me like the back of his chair. Ghost arm is much more entertaining, though.
It's actually 40k Lore studies
Do you like 40k lore?
No.
Coolsothisonetimetherewasanorkcaptain.
Their facial expressions are like they think Magnus did nothing wrong.
All of those faces look really annoyed.
If it doesn't scream "mansplaining" it at least says "this meeting could have been an email".
All of those faces look really annoyed.
That's how you know you're doing it correctly.
Those women are waiting for him to finish so they can correct the numerous errors in his scientific reasoning.
I don't think so. You can tell by their billion miles stare they don't have much of a choice but to put up with his crap for now.
It's true. He's the student trying to work through his proposal.
Or beat him to within an inch of his life, as the case may be
This meme gave me some comic relief, thanks for posting! But the comments here are horrible. I would like to forget how lemmy is mostly cis dudes but it's moments like these it gets super apparent... :(
Maybe you'll like my interpretation of this image! I believe those women are a coven of witches politely waiting for that guy to finish talking so they can begin their ritual sacrifice to The Morrigan.
It's important to show people their own biases which is why I do not remove a lot.
We should all be decent, empathetic, and compassionate enough people that the demographic breakdown doesn’t create a negative effect like that.
I’m one of the many cis dudes here, and I just cannot get offended when it gets pointed out that other dudes can be assholes. Or that other Americans can be assholes. Or other humans, for that matter.
Unfortunately that is hardly ever the case. Most people's way to think about themselves and how they act differs greatly and thus they have to bridge this gap in some way. People like to think of themselves as tolerant, open-minded or empathetic, but once you start to confront them in any way with how they are acting problematic in any way, they usually start to get defensive or try to twist reality around so that it fits with their positive view on themselves. And by "confronting" I don't necessarily mean that you even have to actually have to tell them about this mismatch, just by existing as a person can trigger this reaction in person. That is, only by being trans or by beingvegan people think that they have to defend themselves somehow. And it gets even trickier to actively help people reflect upon their own actions. The huge number of people that have tried to explain me that discrimination isn't real is so frustrating. Most people life in their fantasy world not wanting to think critically about themselves. And if one has these mental barriers, empathy or compassion doesn't really help either because in order to protect their skewed view on themselves they cannot access their empathy.
I am a man, therefore i lemmy.
Mainsplaining sounds more like a liberal arts degree to me.
Yeah, and those are for women /s
I hate that I have to political aline with these people
Its one of the images where people are looking for something to offend them.
Do you mean the people that think it's a funny picture, or those that get offended just by seeing the word "mansplaining"?
People like Teacher Dude.
It's so funny because he looks so sincere and precious and all the women look so annoyed but polite haha
maybe he is the teacher?
wait, is he mansplaining how to become a mansplainer to women? did I get the joke?
or is he about to get his mansplaining degree?
there is no joke, is there?
Jesus, this comment section is the sort of shit I'd expect from Reddit, lighten up, people!
Is that a Risk map? Is he mansplaining the Siam Camp strategy?
So the caption is really: "man convinces 5 clearly less enthusiastic friends to play board game."
Settlers of catan
he has a PhD in breaking
"hello ladies, my name is Larry Haser, you can call me Laser and I'm going to show you all how to bust a move....first things first; you've all seen a kangaroo right?"
Oh man, I still can't believe she was an actual breaking academic. Just incredible.
im disappointed now that the realization that people could have been making funny jokes about mansplaining has set in.
It's been available for over 10 years at PragerU
Ffs I hate PragerU. The website "All Sides Balanced" quotes them as if they are a reliable and genuine university that does research, when in fact it's a right wing propaganda machine that spews the already derided laissez faire economics and climate change denialism.
Yep. Had a friend who thought it was a genuine university, I kept trying to explain how wrong that was... 😅
Neurotypical people annoyed the autistic person exists.
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.
It's this big...
What envious lesbians see when women listen to a man.
mansplaining is a made-up idea lol
All ideas are made up
I mean it does happen but many people don't understand what it actually is.
Aww shit, there are only women here, can we have the cleaning lady explaining it
Of course! Didn’t they tell you?
Oh, do they need a professor? I'm available.
Why peope saw he mansplaining beside sarcasm? I mean, I didn't even notice about it before it was a thing. I just always ignore annoying people, that's all.
