ON “MANSPLAINING”

A few weeks ago, Alice Townes justly ridiculed men for ‘man-splaining’. And, since I spend so much time in coffee shops, restaurants and clubs, I’ve been actively watching the crowd for incidents of mansplaining. And like anything that you begin to notice once you start looking for it, I started seeing it everywhere. Because it’s going on everywhere. And now I have this terrible urge to start collecting pictures of the female face of ‘listening to mainsplaining’.

I’m pretty vocal about criticizing female solipsism, rallying and shaming. And I try to somewhat raise awareness of the problem of aspie logical autism, individualism and emotional blindness, so that I might help guys on my end of the spectrum with self awareness, in order to improve their feelings of membership in the human race.

So, I think I’ll explore the idea of promoting solutions to man-splaining. Because the truth is, men are never going to be collectively solipsistic (treating feelings as material) and women are never going to politically autistic (treating facts as the only material). Because in no small part this is what it means to be man and woman.

This is why women are as ‘dumb’ about anything political and material as men are ‘dumb’ about anything empathic and experiential.

Celebrate our differences. We’re not equal, we’re compatible.
