@cmconseils Nobody in this picture is having a good time 🙃

@cmconseils

It's true. Let me 'splain it to you

@cmconseils and someone thought this is a great picture representing the university
@cmconseils well, actually …
@KewlCat @cmconseils
... if the man has a master's it's called Master'splaining

@cmconseils oh my god, I love this picture so much. the looks on the faces of the listeners - from "bored" to "resigned " to "barely holding her tongue" - is just perfect.

I have to wonder if whoever created and used this picture set it up purposely like that.

@cmconseils i wonder what he's saying is "this big"

I hope it's a fish he once caught, no one seems very enthusiastic about it.

@cmconseils

Lucille Ball was a successful media mogul back in the day be cause she was the one who did the explaining.

Ah, AI and ML

Checks out

@cmconseils Oh! I've been the woman at this table. I've just pitched the project I have been refining for a month. I'm about to pull out the design documents but this junior level employee now needs to tell me what my concept is and how to design it, having applied his hardy male brain to the subject for a full 3 and a half seconds.
@cmconseils Mansplaining will never die out, I'm afraid. Those guys seem to believe that the male genital is a kind of magic wand ensuring universal knowledge& power.
So tiresome 🥱

(Serious nostalgia! 😂)

@Beasley @cmconseils

@Beasley @cmconseils So long as they live in a culture that perpetuates this myth ​

@cmconseils

well.... actually...

@FuturisticRobert @cmconseils Actually, it's a wall.
(ducks for cover)

@lauerhahn @cmconseils

Well actually, it's a-oh... Yeah it's a wall. I'll see myself out.

@cmconseils
It looks like an advertising for a sect having a handsome guru.🙂

The women of Adaleide have a delicious graffiti challenge set before them.
"Master of Mansplaining" — How bad photo literacy will sink your brand.

The construction site hoarding signage seemed innocuous enough. Crisp images and text excitedly promoting The University of Adelaide's new Australian Institute of Machine Learning.

@cmconseils Well actually. . .
@cmconseils All the women look so bored! Waiting for him to stop.

@cmconseils

But its Adelaide. Im sure its just a prison school program!

@cmconseils I love that meme. The mansplaining meme. Give me two. 😍
@cmconseils
Perfect caption for this very peculiar picture (makes me want to run a mile rather than enrol). 🤦‍♀️
@cmconseils it sounds like this is from ~2018, which is about the same time Adelaide Uni had a VC who's sexual misconduct was being covered up too: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/aug/27/former-university-of-adelaide-vice-chancellor-sexually-harassed-colleagues-icac-finds

@cmconseils lol ... I love it.

I work in higher ed marketing and while our campus photographer is very good we've been in this situation SO MANY times.

@cmconseils this is my husband

@cmconseils is that still there?

Adelaide uni just rebranded so I hoped they got rid of that one.

@cmconseils sorry if I'm mansplaining, but which of the five women isn't a woman? (see alt text for explanation... although maybe I'm missing something...)

@muddle @cmconseils I suppose one could say that the alt text isn't so much incorrect, just incomplete, as the fifth woman is not standing but sitting.

I'm not even certain myself what the level of irony is that I'm trying to convey with this answer.

@cmconseils There's something strange behind the man's head, some kind of ponytail... And I don't think his hair is so long... AI? 😵‍💫

@abslutebeginner

I reckon, it's a woman looking out of the window about three metres behind him.

@cmconseils

@mina Oh, yes, you're right. Another woman in the background... 😓

@cmconseils

@abslutebeginner

Can you blame her? She got tired and is quietly sharpening her dagger.

Just in case.

@cmconseils

@mina Very interesting hypothesis... I was wondering why so many women in the background and a proud man in the foreground, as if he were giving them part of his ancient wisdom. Even there's a black woman portrayed in a very different way to the other white women. Everything's quite odd.

@cmconseils

@cmconseils well actually, he’s getting a doctorate.
@cmconseils
Hate to do it, but this looks like an intervention
@cmconseils Anyone local know if this is satire re: the AIML institute?
@cmconseils Ah yes, someone has added the info https://mastodon.green/@nsc/116563278123207567 organizational partnerships can have consequences.

@cmconseils

Sounds about right. And the "audience" has a wild (but appropriate) range of expressions between worry, boredom, consternation, exasperation, irritation, concern and sadness. I think this actually makes a good point about mansplaining...

“After your Bachelor’s, you can pursue a Master’s degree and work as an academic instructor. As me. Or you can have children and work as a domestic prostitute.”
@cmconseils @josh more of a BS, really.

@cmconseils

Years ago I worked across the hallway from the marketing team that created this. There were many ads that were much worse. This was very public on the corner on North Terrace in the city.

It was the gender split in the department.
So maybe it is a documentary.
Mocumentary?

The woman in the black jacket was used in a lot of their glossy material. Got to have some ethnic diversity ;)

I'm a white male, aged 18 to 49. Everyone listens to me, no matter how dumb my suggestions are.
