Goddamn it, I just realised that clippy  was the ultimate mansplainer.

"It looks like you're trying to do..."

"No I am fucking not, piss off".

#Mansplaining #clippy

Imagine being surprised that poverty exists.

Imagine telling someone to "woo, slow down there" when they ask if you're serious about being surprised that poverty exists.

We have a few new people at work. I’m going to put this in front of my cubicle as a friendly reminder for some seasoned coworkers.

Special thanks #BBC for this useful and informative flowchart, “Am I #mansplaining?”

Reading about #mansplaining, I am reminded of that one time I was introduced to a tech transfer manager as a tenured member of a machine learning team. The guy then proceeded to explain machine learning to me. This was at a lunch, and half the people at the table stopped eating with their mouth half open.

And now I remember another one.

I was giving an intro to machine learning to an audience of biomedical researchers. One man had the following question: "I am wondering why you're calling it machine *learning*, when it obviously ought to be machine *teaching*. Maybe you've been confused translating from the French 'apprendre', as it can have both meanings? Have you checked the translation?" Yes, it had been said when I was introduced that I did my PhD in the US and that I was a machine learning expert. And then I shared that story on Twitter, and a man who was *not* a fluent French speaker told me that my story was probably wrong, because "apprendre" only means "to learn" and never "to teach".

I think it's so precious when techbros try #mansplaining Web browsers, video transcoding or game development to me.

My dudes, it's likely I've been programming longer than you've been alive.

And transitioning didn't somehow make me ignorant, motherfuckers.
