    Just saw this posted on another Mastodon friend’s timeline. I think you’ll like it. 😀
    Mansplaining explained in one chart.

    Mansplaining, explained in one simple chart

    Kim Goodwin was asked to help some colleagues tell if they were being helpful or condescending. So she created a simple chart – which went unexpectedly viral.

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

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

          @lisamelton Mansplaining web browsers of all things to you is crazy. You're like, the single most important person to web browser history.

              @lisamelton I feel like mansplaining web browsers to you would be like mansplaining general relativity to fucking Einstein. Pardon my language, but COME ON! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

                          @lisamelton🤦‍♂️ Perhaps they could also lecture Torvalds about Linux and Berners-Lee about the web while they're at it

                          @LibertyForward1 @lisamelton I mean they love explaining ActivityPub to Christine Lemmer-Webber so...

                          But I think there's an obvious reason why they wouldn't do the same thing to Torvalds or Berners-Lee.

                            Oh, hell yeah. I saw how all that went with my friend, M, who is right at this moment on her way across the country to have the top done. She had her priorities and bottom was first. The sheer amount of prep ... the research for all of it. Then you add all the crap you have to put up with from ignoramouses. For this trip, M bought a tracking service so that another friend and I will be notified if she doesn't check in; the danger is real and that fucking sucks.

                              @jzsimon I can't tell whether or not you're excusing the behavior. Either way, toxic behavior shouldn't be excused.

                                  @lisamelton If you ever needed proof that you are a woman, this is half of it.

                                  The other half is getting your salary cut by at least 15% (18% in Germany)

                                      @lisamelton My favorite is, "I don't know anything about that. But you're wrong."

                                      I once had a coworker try to get back up for my wrongness by calling an engineer at the vendor. Who said, "I've taken that card in the lab, and put 10v on it an 0v on it, and it works fine." This guy was a BSEE. So I just said, "You know there's no such thing as 0v, right? So did you turn power on/off, or did you ground it?" Neither one ever said, "Oh, my mistake."

                                      But I enjoyed their pain.

                                        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.

                                        @lisamelton I wrote one web browser in 1990s. I hope, that statement, that I did it wrong, doesn't count as mansplaining!

                                          @lisamelton But… but they need the emotional validation of you approving of their AI tools.
