Or am I misunderstanding mansplaining?

Hopefully some guy will be able to lay it out for you, Steph.

That's what I live for.

Balls, I just embarrassed the hell out of the contractor. It's not her fault that My Nemesis refuses to pass me information or documents relevant to my program, and instead gives them to the contractor to do. Pity I can't tell the contractor to pass them over to me, though.

Comments, as usual, features some golden ones:

I tried these on a whim, and I have to say I wasn't very impressed. The applicator mechanism is far too fiddly, and the plastic tampon inside far too thin (not to mention uncomfortable and non-absorbant) - I'm sure there must be a knack to using them, but I couldn't find it. They also stained my knickers blue for some reason. I really wanted to like these, but it's back to pads for me.

As well as the other information that accretes, like tags and also vieweds...

oh, my, ita. That's priceless.

I m having a fried food bonanza for lunch today WITH white gravy. AND large iced tea.

White gravy is possibly the nastiest thing that people who aren't Jamaican take for granted, nay SEEK OUT.

Unless I don't properly understand what it is and we do it too, but it sure seems gross.

I'm halfway through my breakfast muffin! This is all exciting! Still waiting for feeling to return to all fingers, though. Not sure if related...

That really doesn't sound good, ita.

I had a fried food bonanza last night to the point that I didn't have breakfast this morning, which I think has never happened before in my life. Yikes.

msbelle, West Nile?

A friend's father ate white gravy on pancakes, which is the nastiest thing this side of white gravy on grubs.

Yep. The fundamental assumption of mansplaining is that women have no areas of expertise, and cannot be trusted to get anything right.

The most common form I see on the internet is that, whenever sexual harrassment at conferences is discussed, women will submit real-world examples: "I was harrassed at this time and place, here is what happened to me, and here is how an anti-harrassment policy would have helped."

Then, inevitably, a dude shows up to point out that really, that guy you just accused of sexual harrassment was just flirting with you, and also he probably has Aspergers and if men aren't even allowed to talk to women how will anyone ever get a date????

That's mansplaining. Your interpretation of your lived experience is wrong because it challenges my manly-man-worldview, and you should be thankful I showed up to point out to you how wrong you were being, and thank goodness I'm a nice enough guy to take the time to explain this to you in small lady-words you can understand.
