I love how many men popped into mansplain mansplaining! Quality.
Oh my god he keeps going.
He’s unironically doing the “crispened potato snacks” bit.
Of course he does. A mere woman?! Correcting him!? That can’t stand!
Some men would really rather say “I have the benefit of heighten pattern behavior” unironically than admit a woman knows better than him 😭
Yeah, because there is no way a CEO would lie?
It would be reasonable to not believe an exec’s statements when it comes to enshittification. But this guy talks as if he knows what he was talking about. If he did know what he was talking about, then he would have known who Meredith Whittaker was. And if he did, and thought she was lying, he would have said as much. Besides, it doesn’t seem as though this guy would consider adding AI to be enshittification anyway.
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.
Lol that Bill guy doubled down, and also hides his posts. Wow.
Also, labels himself “the demigod of digital debauchery”. What a guy.
Yeah, that was an epic smackdown of the too-confident techbrodude poseur, wasn’t it?
Someone needs to send his HDD to the feds, something tells me…
Isn’t this less mansplaining and more just someone being wrong? I doubt he knew she was the president. AI tech bros can be gender-neutrally insufferable
PS: I have committed the horrible crime of being male and commenting on this community and deserve none but the harshest punishment for this transgression.
Methinks someone doesn’t know what “mansplaining” is.
Here, let me break down why that’s a mansplain:
- The man made a technical statement about what Signal was planning, talking with unearned (as it turns out) authority.
- A woman negated said statement saying that the opposite was true.
- The man, instead of maybe backing down and double-checking his facts, doubled-down instead on his incorrect statement, speaking with a certainty that rivals an LLMbecile’s hallucinations.
- The woman reveals that she is actually the authority and that the man’s entire fronting was bullshit.
That’s the mansplain. Someone who doesn’t know shit corrected a woman who literally knows for certain without at any point considering that, perhaps, the woman is right.
Because when are women ever right?
Now fuck off the channel.
I’m not gonna interact directly with their comment, but I think it’s worth mentioning that a lot of definitions include some reference to assuming she doesn’t know what she’s talking about. One definition is “the act of a man explaining something to a woman in a condescending, overconfident, or oversimplified manner, often assuming she lacks knowledge about the topic”.
So the person above suggesting that he was never told who she was is not realizing that it’s still mansplaining even before he finds out. I’m not saying you should have to believe everything a woman says, but the fact he just assumed she was as ignorant as he was and didn’t stop to reflect on that, look into it, or at least ask a follow up question about her experience is part of the problem.
This article has a chart and you can see that if you’re not sure of a woman’s background it’s probably going to end up that you were mansplaining: https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20180727-mansplaining-explained-in-one-chart

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.
Now fuck off the channel.
I’ll probably eat some mod action at this rate, but that’s a small price to pay to win an internet argument.
Edit: Holy fuck I take that back.

(Yo so I know I’m not supposed to be commenting but can I just ask a quick question? Won’t make a habit of it but this kinda blew my mind.)
Wait, so does mansplaining require the man to be incorrect? I (for about a year) dated a woman who used to accuse me of mansplaining every time I would be excitedly ADHDsplaining a niche interest, and now I’m kiiinda super self-conscious about talking about…well anything, unless I know the other person has a decent idea of the subject already.
So…was she using it right, or wrong and she’s just a jerk who wanted to hurt me?
I’d believe it, she did threaten to shoot me (like, not for a good reason that would be legal, for spending my own money on comics that I could afford), so it wouldn’t be too out of character. But as a result I may have misunderstood this term for oohhh about 7yr now… Like I said I know I’m not supposed to comment and I’m sorry but can you elaborate on the meaning/appropriate application?
I would put it like this: Before you are going to explain something in Detail that you are curious about ASK the other Person if by Chance she knows about it already. If so, let her explain it to you or have a fruitful discussion on it together (with that i mean , take care both of you speak in equal parts), but do not start to explain the basics again. Its Boring and offending if she already knows and on top embarrassing if you Make mistakes. At least the last is called mansplaining. In General and especially in a date, the “take care both of you speak an equal amount of time” is a good advice. ;) although, i know its sometimes hard for adhd people, when you get carried away with a topic and i know its not done in purpose. If you follow this, i dont think you should be shy about your topics in conversations and dating Situations.
Hey Arcaneslime! You’re right, men shouldn’t be commenting. Please don’t comment again thanks for understanding 😊
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).
Oh really? I always thought mansplaining involves also true facts that are explained to me even though i defintiely know and they know already i do. It happens to me a lot since i am a scientist…
For example during corona a carpenter explained me how a PCR test works, knowing I studied something with biology and already did PCR during my studies myself. He was right in his a little superfacial description of it. Still, i just was super baffled, that someone i just told i studied and did that already myself, who himself is not from the field and never did it, feels the urge to explain the method to me as if he was my highschoolteacher. To me thats mansplaining as well, even though he was right in his description. But maybe i got the Definition wrong. If thats not mansplaining, how do you call it then? It happens Quite often to me … (Corona was special though, suddenly everyone was a scientist. :D).
Hey none of your business, thanks for your interest in our community! We are women only so please don’t comment again, thanks for understanding
She could also be lying, she is a CEO after all.
Hi macaw! We’re a women’s only community so please don’t comment again. Thanks ❤️
We heard you the first time, fanboi.
Also I’d be rich if i had a nickel for every time a company exec said they weren’t going to do a thing and then soon thereafter announced that they are going to do that thing
Hey Beacon! Thanks for contributing but we’re women only, so please don’t comment again. 🥰
That’s the best you can bring to the table, techfanboidude?
Weaksauce.
Beef up your game.
