Generally I do agree with that statement. But I think this can be taken in a lighthearted manner. Not every joke needs to be so PC to the point where all humor is lost.
Lizardking27@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Literally just a person talking in a group to other people. How is this a science meme?

When you work at a university the marketing department is always a meme.
ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 8 months ago
When I was in college, the science department was a group of people at a table going, “Hey nerd! I bet you like computers, don’t you?”
And I did and I walked over.
MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 8 months ago
Fuuuuck, they cover the walls of our science buildings with those now. It’s like, how much are you spending on this shit, but you can’t fix the fucking HVAC in the building?
Ephera@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
It’s mainly funny, because all the women look bored out of their mind. It makes it look like they’re letting Greg blather on, even though none of his points are novel to them. And Greg has such a massive ego that he doesn’t notice no one is listening to him.
Obviously, yes, Greg probably is just a person without ego talking normally. But him being the only dude in the picture and the only one talking, the mansplaining interpretation is a little too close for comfort, which makes it funny.

"It’s mainly funny, because all the women look bored out of their mind. "
That’s just how people look in most academic conversations.

It’s a stock photo, people always look kinda awkward in them.

well, my whole class looked like that when we had to listen to the teacher, aint that so in the usa?
not most of the time, but from time to time.

We can’t have a dude explain things to girls because girls can’t be interested in what a guy has to say. Girls good. Guys bad.

One joke
TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I choose to believe the more wholesome version that this is their gay, autistic, and genuinely endearing friend who got started on his special interest without realizing that nobody else cared, and his friends otherwise like him enough that they’re walking on eggshells trying to figure out how to move the conversation forward after they all lost interest minutes ago.
“So during Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Spock is passing through decks in the Enterprise, and we see one called Deck 78. Now you see, this class of Enterprise only has 23 decks, and so unless we assume someone misnamed this deck, how did this one get here? Some fans have speculated that maybe maybe Q put it there as a practical joke to confuse the audience, but why would Q use the number 78 specifically? This could be a reference to the episode All Our Yesterdays in The Original Series which is production code 78. In this episode, Spock reverts to being emotional like his primitive ancestors after traveling back through time, and this could be hinting to the idea that he secretly feels emotions for his half-brother Sybok who’s the antagonist of the movie.”

tetris11@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
After successfully docking with his long-lost step brother, the Enterprise ventures off after Q, anonymously masquerading as 78 Christmas trees each one representing the different layers of love that Spock feels towards the 23 decks.
Lizardking27@lemmy.world 8 months ago
How is that more wholesome than “person speaking in a group”?
TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The interpretation in the rest of this thread is that this man is being a sexist, condescending douchebag to his peers. I hope “overly enthusiastic about your favorite subjects” is better than that.
Mango@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Why can’t there just not be people deciding he’s being condescending for being straight and tutoring some girls?

It looks to me like the back of his chair. Ghost arm is much more entertaining, though.

Before all this online psyops I think neither men or women would have cared about this.
jol@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
This has always happened to women. I mean, men do it do men too, but other men counteract that by doing it too. As a cis man I’ve encountered way too many cringe worthy situations from my fellow men.
If you’re never experienced mansplaining you might now actually know what it is about.
calcopiritus@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Oh yes. Only men mansplain. It’s in the genetics.
Do trans men also mansplain? They’re biologically female, so they might be incapable.
barsoap@lemm.ee 8 months ago
You went off the rail when you used “women” and “men” instead of “people”.
I’m not exactly sure which one is more frequent, the behaviour itself or the accusation thereof as thought- and conversation-terminating cliche, but both suck donkey ass. OTOH it’s not some special grand thing in itself, either, it’s plain old failure to relate and communicate.
fosho@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
mansplained like a true splain
x00za@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
Your comment is a good definition of the toxic culture that made all of this stuff controversial.
You can’t even explain a thing anymore.
Or did I mansplain here again? Lmao
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Previously to the word mansplaining this was just men being sexist.
I’m surprised Oldsplaining doesn’t exist as a word.
10_0@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
True, mostly igorned this post because it wasn’t particularly funny but it was OK, just came back to it getting ratioed. Now I’m thinking to myself what a timecapsule of a post this is, not heard mansplaining since 2016 yt commentary left vs right stuff. Also saw a comment wishing that they forgot about straight people lol. This comment section is worse than politics posts on !memes.

How about a masters in propaganda on social media?
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 8 months ago
That’s called Marketing.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The term “public relations” is literally propaganda to make propaganda look better. It was just called propaganda before WWII but then there was a propaganda campaign to increase local resistance to propaganda from the Nazis and then the Communists. And it worked, so they needed more propaganda to get the local propaganda to work again.

If it doesn’t scream “mansplaining” it at least says “this meeting could have been an email”.

This meme gave me some comic relief, thanks for posting! But the comments here are horrible. I would like to forget how lemmy is mostly cis dudes but it’s moments like these it gets super apparent… :(

It’s important to show people their own biases which is why I do not remove a lot.

Binette@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
The comments in this posts have everything I hoped to not see again once I left reddit for Lemmy 😭
Like I’ve been mansplined before and it wasn’t fun. And no, women are less likely to do that because of societal reasons, not genetics 😂. I’m not even sure if some of the comments come from scientists, with the amount of confusion over social/genetic causes.
Anyways, if you think someone needs help with something, always ask. And when talking to someone, ESPECIALLY if it’s a colleague/classmate, don’t try dumbing down the conversation unless you know the person you’re talking to won’t understand it.
