Yeah, sorry it’s not more exciting really. They’re still around now apparently (pirates, not my ancestors) which is interesting. Don’t think they’re good guys though.
Fascinating looking into that sort of thing, that side of my family is some mild inbreeding and pirates.

I guess it depends if people know where their own house is

Always a bit wary of dunking on mansplainers too hard as a guy just cos I’m pretty sure that I (and pretty much all men tbh) are probably guilty of it on occasion.

I guess being aware of it and checking yourself as a result is a positive.

Reckon you can tell a mansplainer by those who will correct your pronunciation. Must be the same people.

When I’m hiring people on upwork I pretend to be a man to avoid this

That’s really sad to hear :frowning:

It’s a shame, but I quite enjoy my businessman persona, but yeah I like to give lots of instructions and was talked down to as myself but now I can just be like “I need this this and this” and “this isnt right, please do this this etc” and it just gets done. Mad.

I’ve never thought to pretend to be a man until I read this (very basic and rubbish article) the other day:

One of my friends once had her boyfriend explain to her how her shewee worked. She got righteously angry and told him off for thinking he understood how her anatomy worked better than she did. Turns out he was right and she ended up weeing on herself the first time she used it, but she’s never told him that.

Quite right too. As the old saying goes, far better to ruin the sleeve of your new jumper than to let the door handle think it’s won.

He’s learned to check his privilege and she’s learned not to wee on herself. Everyone’s a winner.

This is a shame but I also have a hilarious image of you as Matt Berry or something with a big moustache.
