Another piece of hilarity for me. "I know I shouldn't be doing this here, but I'm going to do this. Here."
And then they wonder why we have such a poor opinion of them.

Mansplaining is generally when the man is incorrect while explaining something to a woman that she's the expert in, yes. Like telling a woman "you obviously need to read McCarty et al" when she is McCarty et al (to cite a famous example).
That's the best you can bring to the table, techfanboidude?
Weaksauce.
Beef up your game.
Wouldn't he need to have reason to believe (say, by being told she's Signal's president) that she knows for certain before this makes sense? A "no" wouldn't convince anyone without that crucial bit of context I think, setting aside the insufferability of this guy.
Or he could just, you know, hover the mouse over the icon, or perhaps even CLICK on the profile: https://bsky.app/profile/meredithmeredith.bsky.social
We heard you the first time, fanboi.
Of course he does. A mere woman?! Correcting him!? That can't stand!
Sure as eggs is eggs, techfanboi sees women saying things he doesn't like and he ignores all boundaries, all rules, because his opinion is just SO IMPORTANT.
And replies with such a lame "rejoinder" he makes all men look idiotic by association.
Now fuck off out of the channel.
I fight back by using "men's" goods. 🤣
Well, a lot of men write about the breasts as if they're as big as the woman's head.
Since in real life, barring some very extreme surgeries, most times, even the largest of breasts tend to be, you know, smaller than the head, it must mean the women being described have unusually small heads.
(This could explain why they're foolish enough to be in such books, come to think of it.)
Absolutely, some men are very good at writing about (and even from the perspective of) their female characters.
We call those men "good writers".
What I think the pattern is that when you see stuff like that, it's always a male writer doing it. And male editors, in the case of published works, letting it fly.
Yeah, that was an epic smackdown of the too-confident techbrodude poseur, wasn't it?
So that's what causes sagging!
