Yesterday I ended up being mansplained to, and by golly, it’s exhausting.*

No idea how femme presenting people manage to continuously deal with this shit without losing their fucking minds.

As a result, I’m fine tuning my perception. If I see someone reacting harshly to #mansplaining, I will default to considering their reaction fully justified, and probably somewhat restrained.

*) this was the mildest of incidents. Almost homeopathic.

Since I have an account on 🦋 to follow the interesting people/organisations that aren't here, I've made a point of posting service-only links for material/contacts also here.
*Every time* on Mastodon, I experience #mansplaining / #whataboutism from people who don't even follow me. Ras-le-bol!
I'm going to do this only on 🦋 now because Mastodon doesn't allow disabling comments. I block these guys, but I don't have to put up with it any more.
Posts for communication here - but service posts there.

So academia dot edu did a podcast of one of SO's papers, without permission (because that's how they do these things), and SO is raging.
The podcast is:
1. Voiced by an AI "white UK male upper class" voice (which is not SO),
2. Confidently wrong about the subject of the paper, and
3. Kinda condescending to the listener (asking twice "do you know what [term]" means, while also mispronouncing one of the terms).
Considering the white male voice being condescending and confidently wrong while stealing the hard work of an expert, I think the AI nailed the podcast format.

@girlonthenet yep! 🙌
Having personally rebuilt the boat that my family now live on, I’ve experienced lots of “help”. My daughter will hopefully grow up without the disarming societal pressure on girls to be “polite” that I have. #Mansplaining makes me so mad! And my response to it always disappoints me, compared to all the really amazing responses that occur to me way too late. Hang in there sister; I get your rage!

@lesbluettesdelys Non mais c'était un pan sur le bec bien vu, il faut que je fasse attention à ma façon de donner des conseils non sollicités.

C'est pas du #mansplaining je crois, il me semble que je ne fais pas de différence, mais bon peut être j'ai un biais (?)

Gerade eben mal wieder eine geniale Form eines #Mansplaining erfahren.

@kevinrns @Strandjunker

You mean like this?

#mansplaining

@nobrainnopain Oh, wirklich? Wie gut, dass du mir das sagst, ich wär ja sonst womöglich überhitzt!
/Ironie off

Denkst du wirklich, ich wüßte das nicht? Und nimmst du alles ernst, was im Internet steht? Meine Güte.

@AdrianVolt boah, und zu allem Übel erklärt mir noch ein Tüp die Welt. #mansplaining @sudelsurium

Futurism: “Mansplaining Audacity”: President of Signal Watches in Bemusement as Random Man Explains Her Company’s AI Strategy to Her. “Since what feels like the dawn of time, overconfident men have condescendingly explained how things work, even when they’re woefully wrong and unqualified. Look no further than a baffling exchange on Bluesky after Meredith Whittaker, the president of encrypted […]

Social media post Saying "Why are men" with a screenshot of another social media post exchange between a man (Bill Mitchell) and a woman (Meredith Whittaker) saying:
Man: Signal will some sort of LLM Integration in it soon.
Woman: No, heart emojii
Man: They will, likely be timing up with Anthropic's Claude or Perplexity, but its coming. The engineers have already began laying out the ground work for such support.
Woman: ... he says to Signal's President

Ein sehr amüsantes Beispiel von #mansplaining.

OH MY GOD THERE IS MORE.

You have to excuse him: he has the benefit of heighten (sic) pattern recognition.

And yes, it’s real. Here’s the link to the last post in the thread (you have to be logged in to view it all): https://bsky.app/profile/meredithmeredith.bsky.social/post/3lrsry6wjis2m

Screenshot of a conversation on Bluesky:

Bill Mitchell (@askbillmitchell.bsky.social · 20h):
“Signal will some sort of LLM integration in it soon.”

Meredith Whittaker (@meredithmeredith.bsky.social · 11h):
“No ❤️”

Bill Mitchell (@askbillmitchell.bsky.social · 6h):
“They will, likely be timing up with Anthropic's Claude or Perplexity, but its coming. The engineers have already began laying out the ground work for such support.”

Meredith Whittaker (@meredithmeredith.bsky.social · 5h):
“…he says to Signal's president”

Continuation by Bill Mitchell:

Wow, straight to the name calling. No need to get hostile, but to answer your question - one doesn't have to be a genius to figure out the road map especially when the president has already tipped their hat as how they operated in the past. Signal went from a text message to a social app.

If the trend then becomes leveraging LLM on some level in messaging apps then that's where Signal will pivot to. Telegram one of its chief rivals was flirting with Grok. Meta which has three apps on the market has Llama integration. I have the benefit of heighten pattern recognition.

So yes, I do think I have a better insight than the president of the company. I'll wait while you try to remind me that Signal is non-profit, and I retort with something clever like "And how do you developers feed themselves".

Next level #mansplaining

You may be having a bad day online, but you're not the guy who was Mansplaining Signal to Meredith Whittaker today....

@dangillmor
next-level #mansplaining …

New #Mansplaining Hall of Fame just dropped

President of Signal tells Man who says LLM will soon be in Signal that he’s incorrect. Man replies with claim Signal is already building it.

Als #Mansplaining empfinde ich den Text nun nicht. Eigentlich eher nur als Aufzählung der verschiedenen Möglichkeiten, die sich bieten, abhängig von den Teilnehmer*innen (ob provokant oder nicht). Wie bei einer #CriticalMass üblich 🤷🏽‍♀️
Sich ohne Konsequenzen zu entfernen, ist ja jederzeit möglich. Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass die Polizei die Kapazitäten hat, für ne Anzeige alle Personalien aufzunehmen, wenn doch die #Antifa als Hauptfeind anreist.

Besonders durch das Privatstellen wird deine Reply zu #Mansplaining. Natürlich weiß ich das alles. Viele TN wissen es aber nicht. Und die stehen dann plötzlich mit einer Anzeige der Polizei da. Oder sie stehen nicht nur selbst damit da, sondern auch die sie umgebenden Menschen, die vielleicht wirklich nur Radfahren im Sinn hatten. Und solche Anzeigen „kosten“ idR ca. 200 €. Geld, das viele nicht haben. @thomas_cm @Tausendschoen
