Cami – naw, they go home and absorb new facts to pontificate about. Perhaps the whole thing is a ploy to avoid talking about “feelings” instead of a ply for dominance? Boring as shit either way.

I didn’t read every comment, but BUT seriously, you post was so strange/timely to come across… I’ve been overseas working in Indonesia for a while, and I’d read this article about THE MAN WHO KNOWS EVERYTHING, and thought it was pretty funny, then slowly over time I began to realize how many men are JUST THAT, I was meeting all sorts of new people and was astounded. Fuck it is annoying! Fascinating but completely retarded. The one’s I met would have been great people had they not had the insatiable desire to talk incessantly about bollocks – simply to prove their bountiful and broad knowledge, of nothing in particular.
I wonder if they get home after a night out and wonder who they met.

I’m afraid I didn’t. But I do think I said to another one “My name Sue, how do you do?”

Candy – No.

Juri – Did you kill a man in Reno just to watch him die?

Mavis – Right. they won’t tolerate a subject that’s new to them.

Alicia – Oh god. I assume you’ve learned selective deafness by now. (Love you too)

I work on the trading floor at an Investment Bank (I am a lowly I.T. drone) and it is full of these people, not always men but more often than not. Your post expresses more eloquently than I am able the utter dross they spout. Thanks again.

From behind he looks a bit like that guy from Everybody Loves Raymond with an extra mullet. And this is not a compliment. I’d love to have a coffee with and a lecture from him and let him know that,”in the end of the day there are no bagels in China, and once you’ve seen one diverse Indian you seen them all. Little Endian, big Endian. Where’s the end of your story. You see I’ve been around. Just like Johnny Cash and then some, I’ve been more everywehere than you, man.”

All the know-it-alls I’ve met were white guys. I say this because as an Asian woman it’s especially remarkable how much these white men like to lecture me about Asia, sometimes in particular, my home town, using their experiences with Asians born and bred overseas, and with other parts of Asia. Their knowledge, of course, isn’t limited to Asian-ness but anything and everything. If I do mention something they don’t know they quickly change the topic to one that they CAN lecture me about.

I so wish I could forward SW post and all the comments to “my” mansplainer. He’s too busy though to read it, what with all the mansplaining he has to do. I imagine him starting to mansplain to us that we are totally wrong with his favourite sentence: “what you all are saying doesn’t make any sense at all”.

I married one. Talking with him is exhausting.

(love you, honey)
