Here’s today’s tidbit of wisdom on the mysterious creatures known as “women” from one of Twitter’s many Men Going Their Own Way.

Damn those women and their devious honesty! HONESTY IS A TRAP! A DECOY! A WEAPON! A DECOY AND A WEAPON! At the SAME TIME!
Also, I think there’s something terribly wrong with that goth lady’s fingers.
Spoken like a 329 year old engineer who makes an impressive $29/hr.
kupo: But does he live DIRECTLY ON THE BEACH?
Well I did lose, kind of. I lost 75K of my 401k, 45K of equity in my house, 72K of spousal support to my ex, and about 15k in lawyers to navigate the divorce. Because marriage is a legal partnership, property and wealth acquired during the marriage belongs to both partners.
And I won too, because it was worth it to get away from an abusive narcissist. I go my own way now, not blaming men for all my woes. What’s your problem? Why aren’t you gone yet?
In the grand scheme of things – we’re on a rock hurtling through space at 10s of thousands of miles per hour, in a solar system hurtling through space at an even greater rate, in a galaxy racing around the universe at an ever greater speed. Billions have died before us. Trillions will die as we rot back into the earth from whence we were spewed.
It’s all good. Peace, my peeps.
AHAHAGHAHHahahaha mansplainer you made me choke. You are so full of shit. Nothing you have said is true, not one word. I checked.
So what are you going to do about any of that, do tell us your plan to wrest back control from the bishes. I’m sure we will be amazed by your genius.
Did he just flounce already?
@ man splainer
Well my mum’s been pretty casual on the civilisation building, but she did once ask me to put up an IKEA bookcase. The human sacrifice thing though is pretty much limited to eclipses.
How do you define winning? Please set out the performance indicators you use. Then people can make their own assement of whether you’re actually hitting that target.
“I’m likely one of the greatest men that ever lived.”
And I am Marie of Romania.
Well, he’s no fun, he fell right over.
I wouldn’t have fekd with him anyway as he is undefeatable and I’m a happily married woman.
Come back and splain some more mansplainer, we all need a good laugh.
If nothing really matters because we’re all a teeny speck in a vast universe, why is he so frothy mad?
WWTH, I’d think that being teeny specks in a vast and uncaring universe would be all the more reason to be radical to each other.
He smelled of old socks
@WWTH, it’s ’cause when a Man speaks, everything is super important, but when it’s time for the Man to get his comeuppance or learn something, well, all of a sudden let’s not get worked up, ladies, you’re so emotional. Think of the big picture.
Thinks ridiculously highly of himself, never got help with nothing, never hurt no one, absolute unit. Yep, that’s top-form chan troll come to spin us up.
We know that you don’t actually think that, @Mansplainer.
Or, well, we know you do actually think that, but you think you’re much more reasonable about it than the hyperbole you’re spittin’ here. You’ve got great reasons for thinking these things, but there’s no sense talking about them here.
Because your reasons have no defenses, they’re just raw feels.
Pauvre petit
This might sound more impressive if you’d taken the 2 seconds to Google those speeds rather than handwaved them away as really fast, you guise!
I really think that a huge part of the Giant Shoulder Chip that these amazing, self reliant, world building genius Migs have against women- is that they all know, deep down, that they were helpless, mewling infants. For years. Who could do NOTHING for themselves. Who would starve and freeze without constant care and attention. Who only learned to speak, eat, potty, clean,and clothe themselves because someone taught them to- and 90% of the time that person was a woman who got little out of her taking the trouble.
They used to be helpless and weak and they know it. And they know that women all know it. And they can’t forgive us for it.
Oh darn, I’m finally around for a troll and he just flounces off.
You disappoint me Man Splainer!!!
Hey, Man Splainer, are you also a sniper with over two hundred confirmed kills in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Weasel-Rah,
As someone who has spent the last couple of months caring for my 92 year old grandmother I can tell these guys, they’ll be helpless again someday. You can’t boot strap your way out of the aging process. Considering the way these guys alienate the people in the lives, particularly the women who usually do elder care (although in my family, my dad probably does more than anyone, but that seems to be a rarity) they’d better hope they’re lucky enough to wind up in a nursing home that doesn’t provide substandard care. Something tells me that when these miggy toes can no longer wipe their own asses, cook their own meals or remember to take their pills, they’ll be perfectly happy to accept help from woman care workers and nurses and forget all about their claims that they don’t need anything from women.
Whenever someone makes arguments the way “Man Splainer” does, I begin to wonder if the alt-right actually exists. Maybe it’s all just a Discordian plot to bring about the Death of Satire. When all ideas can apparently be seriously held, then no idea can ever be taken seriously. Up is down, left is right, catma over dogma, slack as thou wilt is the whole of the law!
…and pray that there’s intelligent life somewhere up in space
Cause there’s bugger-all down here on Earth
And yet when women move into male dominated professions, the pay and prestige immediately drop. Those powerful women and their evil state lackeys must be running a real long con.
Not to mention all the instances of men moving into occupations started, or traditionally dominated, by women. See: culinary arts, computer programming, the novel.
Whenever the words “Self-Made Man!” are spoken, a million mothers, teachers, cooks, seamstresses, nurses, maids, child caters, farmers, and other mostly-female shitworkers simultaneously roll their eyes.
@Man Splainer
Oh, honey. I’m embarrassed for you if you don’t have the good graces to feel so yourself.
It’s probably best that you flounce. You’re making a fool of yourself.
Seriously, the quality of our trolls has gone down vastly over the last couple of years. ?
Alan is way ahead! … but I, um, I actually thought he meant he was a vet. (it’s a regional language thing, I suppose)
Not that I would trust the dog’s health to someone whose every utterance has this kind of mewling-and-puking going on, of course.
Aw, man, y’all got in another round of trollball without me? Pout.
I’ll just wait for the next one to roll in.
@Kurt H If the alt-right were a Discordian plot, I somehow think it would be funnier. Or weirder. The alt-right is way too Greyface for my taste. I did look for signs that Mansplainer was factitious, but, nah, he’s a troll. Probably thinks he’s all edgy and politically incorrect and Imparting Great Truths too.
