Mansplain Manipulate Male-pattern baldness

[–] Shou@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Ah yes. Very wordy.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 100 points 4 days ago (3 children)

It's a portmanteau, actually. 👨‍🏫 A portmanteau is a word formed by merging the sounds and meanings of two different words.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 18 points 4 days ago

Thanks mister male!

[–] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 12 points 4 days ago (2 children)

This is a more accurate comment, you can tell because the spelling is correct and the content is plausible.

I think that makes the meme more accurate, it's almost not mansplaining if it's not also subtly but confidently wrong.

Hey now, mansplaining does have its uses..

Mansplaining Now Tops Condoms as Most Effective Contraceptive

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 8 points 4 days ago (2 children)

(Fyi condoms are not the most effective)

Not yet at least in freedom-land

[–] lud@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days ago (6 children)

Which on is (apart from mansplaining)?

Spiral?

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Contraceptive implant.

See table under 'Effectiveness':
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_birth_control_methods

Typical use failure rate during first year:

  • contraceptive implant 0.05%
  • vasectomy 0.15%
  • IUD 0.8%
  • pill 7%
  • male condom 13%

So yeah, an IUD "spiral". AKA "coil" as they are apparently called in English.

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 30 points 4 days ago (1 children)

From the comments so far: being an ugly gay man with a vasectomy.

Bruh i hate it so much when someone ASKS ME a question and when im explaining they say im mansplaining. Also apperently if youre an expert in a subject and happen to be man and explain something in that field to someone thats mansplaining.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 25 points 4 days ago

Similarly, I hate it when you're excitedly rambling on about your hobby and someone claims you're mansplaning.

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 16 points 4 days ago

Early in my career (office job), I was standing in the cubes and 2 coworkers (a man and a woman, neither had children) were having a conversation about parenting, the man turns to me to directly ask me for my thoughts since I was the only one of us 3 who had kids (he said this out loud), and as I was answering, the woman interrupted me to complain that I was mansplaining parenting.

She's an outlier in that workplace though. Just a jerk.

[–] HoMaster@lemm.ee 12 points 4 days ago

Shut up penis!

[–] SapientLasagna@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

But then you get to mansplain mansplaining! That's my hobby. My daughter loves it.

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 19 points 4 days ago (2 children)

My girlfriend is using the word "mansplaining" incorrectly and I don't know what to do about it.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I once heard a woman complain about another woman "mansplaining" depression to her. In my head, I was just "sure. whatever".

[–] noisyboy@reddthat.com 5 points 3 days ago

Maybe you can explain the correct usage to her.

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I'm a new dad and I get womansplained now a lot. "You need to tip the bottle so there's milk in the nipple of it" was a recent one

[–] HoMaster@lemm.ee 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

How rude of them to explain to you how to properly feed whiskey to a baby.

The proper way is with cigars and Motörhead

My husband is a stay-at-home, homeschooling dad with LOTS of parenting experience, thanks to fostering for over 10 years and having six permanent kids between the ages of 11 and 31. We call it momsplaining when some other homeschool mom with only 1-2 kids tries to tell him how to parent our infant foster son.

[–] zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I was always scared my infodumping would be called that. But now I'm socially transitioned so I can infodump to my heart's content!

[–] horse_battery_staple@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Can you explain socially transitioned to me? I could look it up myself but something tells me you'd like to explain it and I'd get a more nuanced take on it.

[–] zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

In public I present as my correct gender, I am no longer hiding it nor in an in-between state.

Hope you feel more like you.

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Thank you. As the inventor of the term “mansplaining”, I had no idea and would have remained ignorant if you hadn’t explained this.

Ugh... I can't stand this. But Skeletor is just the right person to do it.

I just don’t help anyone anymore, nobody calls you names

Mansquaring

[–] errer@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (5 children)

Is skeletor actually a male? Does he have a penis or is it just bones down there?

Perhaps Obelix fell into the Genderfluid?

[–] OrnateLuna@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

C'mon now, you are on 196 you should know penis ≠ man

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

He doesn't have anything there since he's a skeleton, and humans don't have bones in their genitals

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 7 points 4 days ago

What is it to you? Why are you questioning the arch-enemy of Eternia?

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee 5 points 4 days ago

Was skeletor born a skeleton?

[–] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The body builder with claws and a skull for a face is the character, Skeletor from He-Man for those of you not aware. Or maybe you recognize him from She-Ra? Was Skeletor in She-Ra? I don't know I never watched that show.

[–] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

He made brief appearances, I think. She-Ra is He-Man's sister who lives in another dimension, and I vaguely remember occasional crossovers. Hordak was her regular big-bad, though. I'm sure there's a MotU nerd in here somewhere who knows better than me.
