@Sheril One of my favorite T-shirts says on the front: “Lord, give me the confidence of a mediocre white man.”
@Sheril I think it's not real, honest confidence. More like entitlement.
@Sheril @SophiaFree It can hardly get more mansplainer than that…

@Sheril Is this from the New Yorker?
@Sheril I'm blowing this up to poster size and sending it to @radiofreetom as a belated Xmas gift.
@Sheril It is not lost on me that the Person on the right side of the table is a Person of Colour.
@Sheril
It's by Jason Adam Katzenstein published in the New Yorker 2018.
@Sheril I don’t see any alt-text. 🤔
@Sheril that made me laugh so much! Things become much clearer when mansplained🤣🤣💦
First World Problem - @KejenneWrites - Medium

When the world was full of monsters, all we wanted was to relax at home with our families, eat and sleep well. A group of pious folk created man-centred stories around planet-based belief systems…

Sadly I can't remember who it was on Mastodon who introduced me to the term "Correctile Dysfunction"
