Men and Women, Women and Men

I suspect what I find confusing is that we seem to be pointing to a situation when someone is belittling another person for their own entertainment. However, the examples are mostly conversation where clarity is being sought, and one party seems to take offense. That is a receiver issue from my point of view.

The biggest problem of “mansplaining” is the female reception of communicated ideas, from a position of an immediate internal sense of inadequacy and victimhood.

its obvious.

if its a man doing it, its bad.
unless its for a woman’s benefit, then its good.
until some other middle aged white woman decides its not, then its bad again and you should be sorry for assuming she needed the help she actually needed.

Not my problem if they want to put RainX in their radiator.
Or try refilling their oil through the dipstick tube.
(have seen both)

I think it’s a knee-jerk response to feeling independent. You just have to let them bump their heads. They’ll never admit you were right and your context would’ve been helpful, but their behavior will show it. Unless you say something. Then they’ll be intentionally obstinate forever.

Yes, but more like “wanting to feel independent despite knowing that they aren’t, so I’m going to yell at this MAN for MANSPLAINING the thing I didn’t know how to do because my pride is too fragile”.

So I just let them make their own mistakes from here on out.
If I were to give them the equality they really begged for, I’d laugh at their failures along the way - as the world often does to men.

“The following dissertation on existential axioms of the male human is intended to be satire, but also probably about 99% true and factually correct.”

Ok Ladies, listen up cuz I’m only gonna mansplain this to yinz once. This is some existentially axiomatic shit.

It is very important, virtually of the utmost importance really, that men Know What They’re Talking About.

If you don’t, then you have to shut up, cuz You Don’t Know What You’re Talking About.

So when we talk to each other the subtext of the entire communication is that You Better Know What You’re Talking About.

Which brings me to the even more important than the last part, part- which is this- If You Don’t Know What You’re Talking About, You Sure As Hell Don’t Know What You’re Doing.

And if You Don’t Know What You’re Doing You’re Going To Mess It Up.

Now look at you. Its All Messed Up. It would have gone way better if You Had Just Asked Me.

One of the worst possible things a man can do is Mess It Up.

Cuz we are driven to bring value. The value we bring is symbolic of our virility and male endowment.

Capice?
Comprehendè?
Copacetic?

At any point when I’ve felt this to be the case, the relationship is over. This is deal breaker with me. I have absolutely no desire to have sex or be partnered up with a person that displays this behavior.

I’ve never met a woman who wasn’t passive aggressive but I agree it’s a dealbreaker when over the top.

Unfortunately just mine. My wife isn’t interested so I put a solo seat in.

Heartbreaking

At least they look good with solo seats

Yeah they do. I also dropped the rear suspension slightly, gave a matching slight upward angle to the gas tank to hold lines and installed mid-apes as well. Still rides like a recliner but has a “sporty” look. For a Fat Boy.

I’m not a motorcycle guy, but if I were to be one - I’d be riding a Fat Boy.

Something about those meaty tires just makes it look right… meaty tires, no saddle bags, all black and chrome. Its the way it was meant to be.

Yeah they’re the biggest cruiser you can buy before getting in to the baggers. I liked the old dyna wideglides but they were discontinued years ago.

Fat Boys are a good compromise for long rides and hopping around town. I do have detachable saddlebags for overnight trips. Makes it easy to bring a change of clothes and toothbrush. The wind can be a pain without a shield but it’s part of the fun imo.
