Mansplaining - Tumblr Posts
i’m going to expand on this because i like mansplaining so i can show i’m not stupid :D
okay so obvi when you first meet someone with no pretense of them you should be respectful and what not, but if a bitch comes for me, imma come for that bitch ten fold
we (should) all know “treat others how you want to be treated”, i believe we should add “and treat others how they treat you.”
AI art should not be compared to an actual artist who put years into mastering their craft and hours into making pieces. It should be seen for what it is, technology, there’s nothing creative about it, it is simply a bunch of images stuck together. It’s like google images but instead of each thing being laid out on its own it’s all bundled up into one.
I can admire the thought put into making AI but it is simply not the same as what an artist does to create their work. The way I see it is an AI can be recreated to a T (probably) but art can not be recreated one to one, it will always have its own flair no matter how minor because of the person making it.
Anyways here’s me expressing my opinions cuz I like sounding smart or whatever
Mansplaining
If a man 'mansplains' something to you, thank him. He has used his valuable time to ensure you understand something better. He is not to know if you already have that information or not and he thought you were worthy enough to at least inform you. It is a complement when a man takes the time to 'mansplain', it is his way of helping you be a better person.
Always welcome mansplaining and always say thank you when he was gracious enough to give you that time - he didn't have to. It's just another example of how men are being helpful toward girls. We need to appreciate it more.
Deciding are HARD!
*giggles* like cock!
Is there any Man or Men that would feel like making decisions for a dum cunt like me?
This is what happens when a Weezer fan and a Radiohead fan come in contact with each other
CLINTON: Can I respond? I heard there would not be any fact-checking this debate, so I brought my own. I just want to explain what your plan would actually do. It is like trickle-down economics, but even worse. I came up with a fun nickname for it because my campaign wanted to make sure I created moments of “levity” instead of just “lecturing.” This is the straitjacket of speaking while female. “Trumped-up trickle-down,” we call it. Is that fun? By my standards, that seems fun. Donald, your business started when your dad loaned you $14 million.
TRUMP: In my defense, $14 million is, like, practically nothing. If I found it crumpled up in the pocket of a coat I had not worn in a while, I would make a face and throw it away. Also, NAFTA is bad, Secretary Clinton — does that make you happy? Usually when I address women as “secretary” they get upset and yell.
TRUMP: I have the best temperament. Obviously.
CLINTON: Obviously. Yes. Obviously. You have interrupted me 70 times to say nonsense remarks that indicate you have not the faintest idea what you are talking about. Seventy times. I have spent my life doing this. You decided, like, last year that you were mildly interested in it and that you would probably be great at it. I wish I had that confidence. I wish any little girl did.
If I had coughed even once on this stage, I would have lost this debate instantly. And so you know what? I did not cough. Not even once. You sniffed and you lectured and you made faces and you sighed. And I stood there. Impassive. Like a screensaver. I focus-grouped my number of blinks.
@lettersfromtitan, have you seen this?
Oh boy. I have Thoughts about this. Third layer: it's hilarious because he's enlightened and self-aware enough to know it's a trap.
Fourth and best layer: but he still can't envision this conversation outside of declarative statements. The answer to break the stalemate is so obviously along the lines of "my understanding of mansplaining is X, but I'd love to know more about yours," thereby conveying familiarity with the subject while inviting the possibility of error and validating the probable lived experience of the questioner. Easy. More people who have been socialized as women could do it. Bonus points for daring to ask why it came up in that conversation, in a nonthreatening way.
But he's not there yet (within the joke anyway)--and that perfectly illustrates the trap of being partway on the journey toward liberatory transformation: the person who knows enough about power and identity to know what not to do, but hasn't yet liberated himself from old mental models & learned styles of communication that don't involve dominating or being dominated.
😂
I am breathless
“because creators aren’t telling stories about consistently well-written characters going through things, they’re systematically tearing characters down in desperate attempts to produce fundamental shifts and that is so absolutely unsustainable in the long term because a reader’s emotional investment on this sort of thing depends largely on pre-existing investment in the character in question” <-- this is why I rarely finish TV shows.
"because you see my dude" BREATHLESS
marvel comics are so fucking busy trying to make every single fucking crossover event the Most Bombastic Thing That Ever Happened To Every Superhero Ever when like if you look at tony’s canon for instance. the single god damn story that was actually absorbed by every writer going forward is his alcoholism arc. was the world ending? no. it wasn’t. it was just a character-driven story that had the guts to make a heroic arc out of a deeply human emotional situation
a literal climatic moment of tony’s recovery arc was when he decided to… shave again
so like honestly what marvel writers need is to get their heads out of their asses, drop their territorial alpha male “i will CHANGE this character FOREVER and nothing will EVER be the same after ME” bullshit and just fucking write good stories. it’s like they don’t know how to manage stakes anymore. oh my fucking god
What is it with men and writing?
Everytime I tell a synopsis or even a rough idea of what I am writing at the time, they start giving me ideas for scenes. Sexual most of the time, of course.
Like, yes, thank you, go write your own book?
They don't even let me finish what I am saying before they start throwing these ideas at me. Aaaaaah
Brad didn’t need anything on his toast. He had all this manspread. Did you need some because the jar was leaking.
Chris always opened up when it came to his thoughts his thoughts on mansplaining.
When men’s toxic behaviour transcends language.
Mansplaining protip:
When a man starts explaining a concept you already told him you understand, instead of saying “I know” over and over until you die, try one of these:
Ok, which aspect is confusing you?
It seems like you have the basics down; Would you like me to recommend some good articles so you can get a more nuanced understanding?
So did you have a specific question, or do you just want a more in depth explanation?
BARBIE (2023) dir. Greta Gerwig +⭐letterboxd reviews by men
Man cave, but not like a cave for men, rather, a cave of men. A bunch of guys sitting on each other’s shoulders with their arms linked together forming a large dome. They sleep in shifts so there’s always enough men awake to keep the dome supported. Perhaps one day they could even form a man sphere and roll around. Imagine the places they’d go.
