[drops-of-universe]

if "mansplaining" and "manterrupting" refer to a man interrupting a woman and trying to explain what she is already explaining, what is it called when a man does both "mansplaining" and "manterrupting" with another man, and they both do it with each other, calling it a conversation? a podcast

Toxic masculinity is the same way where it will just be used as a motte and bailey to say that all (cishet) men are toxic. Tbh we should get rid of all the bs terms that form all sorts of annoying portmanteaus that start with man to villainize them: manspreading, manterruption, manolouges, manscuse, etc. Just call it obnoxious explaining. Y'all took the Dunning-Kruger Effect and made it pointlessly gendered.

i will never forgive the internet for what it did to the word “mansplain”

The phrase quickly became a rallying cry for women's empowerment and a symbol of the ongoing struggle for equal respect and representation in various spheres of life, particularly in politics and the workplace. It encapsulates the frustration many women feel when their voices are disregarded or silenced in conversations and debates.

"Excuse me, I'm speaking" highlights the broader issue of "manterrupting," a term coined to describe the tendency of men to interrupt women in conversation more frequently than they do other men. This phenomenon has been documented in numerous studies and is often cited as one of the subtle ways gender bias manifests in daily interactions.

Um grupo de pessoas dos mais atacados atualmente. Pelo simples e inofensivo fato de não se encaixarem em homem ou mulher.

Pessoa não binária pode fluir entre homem e mulher. Não ser nem lá e nem cá. Pode estar no meio. Sem gênero, com dois gêneros.

Quer apenas um tratamento pessoal de acordo. Tem quem não se importe se o pronome é masculino ou feminino. Tem quem use um pronome neutro. Tem quem goste de pronome de um gênero.

São diferentes entre si. Com singularidades. Únicas.

E nunca exigiram que cachorro fosse chamado de cachorre, nem que motorista virasse motoriste. Ou cadeira se tornasse cadeire. Mentiras baixas da reaçaria que tanta gente dita progressista engoliu.

Pessoas não binárias não querem destruir o binarismo alheio. São trans. E, assim, reconhecem que pessoas trans binárias existem e merecem ser tratadas com o respeito de suas identidades.

Tanto que 14/7 é dia do orgulho não binário. E ninguém pede pra chamar de “die de orgulhe”.

Não querem ser chamadas de pessoes. “Pessoa” é substantivo feminino. Sem problemas.

Pode-se neutralizar o tratamento construindo frases neutras ao se dirigir a uma pessoa não binária que tem pronomes específicos, se dói tanto em você usá-los.

“Ilze é minha amiga há 10 anos” pode virar “Tenho uma amizade de 10 anos com Ilze”.

Você consegue. Se consegue falar “lockdown” ao invés de “confinamento”, “home office” ao invés de “trabalho em casa”, “bowl” no lugar de “cumbuca”, “skincare” e não “cuidado com a pele”, “manterrupting” e não “interrupção de macho”, você consegue.

Você está longe de ter esse amor todo pela língua portuguesa. Pare com esse complexo fajuto de Luís de Camões, que nem o português que ele falava no século 16 se fala mais em canto nenhum.

I just started Moxie, and I cannot recall the last time I wanted to punch somebody in the face so fast after being introduced to them as when that football guy interrupted Lucy when she was talking in class.

The way he interrupted when she was answering the teacher’s question that was specifically addressed to her, not even tangentially a group discussion where somebody else could theoretically be expected to chime in, and then he does it three more times as she tries to keep going.  Including literally saying that she isn’t listening to him.

I don’t even remember his name and I hate him so much now.

Female economists probably didn’t need a quantitative study to know that they get asked more questions when presenting than their male counterparts. Indeed, many female academics are familiar with manterruptions, an offshoot of the mansplaining phenomenon. Female economists probably didn’t need a formal analysis of the kinds of questions they get asked to know that they face more patronizing or hostile queries than their male peers, either.

But numbers are a good thing -- especially to economists -- and now there exists such a study, courtesy of a group of prominent economists. These researchers plan to publish the new working paper with the National Bureau of Economic Research and otherwise use it to promote change in a field that has historically been unwelcoming to women.

........

In 2018, the AEA adopted a Code of Professional Conduct requiring “civil and respectful discourse” and a “professional environment with equal opportunity and fair treatment for all.” The researchers suggest that their data can be read as a progress report of sorts to see how far the discipline has come -- and how far it still needs to go. The field has indeed been called out for gender bias before, including in a 2017 study that found women economists receive less credit than their male co-authors when it comes to tenure and promotion, as economists list their author names alphabetically, not by levels of contribution. Another 2017 study found that women economists write more clearly than male economists but are subject to tougher editorial standards. And a 2020 paper documented how women face sexual harassment online.

The authors of the new study say that all of these factors contribute to the fact that women are less likely to be promoted than men in economics.

Men are so obnoxious that businesses have to create a Code of Professional Conduct.

But women justices should not be expected to fix the "manterruption" problem on their own. Chief Justice John Roberts, Jacobi and Schweers argue, could play a larger role as a referee. Or male justices could simply learn to let their female colleagues speak.

Excuse Me, I'm Speaking: Kamala Harris Apparel for the Unapologetic Visionary

The phrase "Excuse Me, I'm Speaking" became inextricably linked with Kamala Harris during the 2020 U.S. Vice Presidential debate. This moment not only defined a key part of Harris's public persona but also resonated deeply with many viewers, particularly women and minorities who have faced similar experiences of being interrupted or talked over.

During the debate with then-Vice President Mike Pence, Harris firmly but politely asserted herself when interrupted, stating, "Mr. Vice President, I'm speaking." She repeated variations of this phrase several times throughout the debate, each time reclaiming her right to finish her thoughts without interruption. This moment quickly went viral, capturing the attention of millions of viewers and sparking widespread discussion on social media platforms.

The phrase struck a chord with many people who have experienced similar situations in professional, academic, or personal settings. It became a rallying cry for those advocating for equal respect and representation in conversations, particularly for women and minorities in male-dominated fields. Many saw Harris's calm yet assertive response as a masterclass in handling interruptions and maintaining composure under pressure.

Harris's use of this phrase also highlighted the broader issue of "manterrupting," a term coined to describe the tendency of men to interrupt women in professional settings. This moment brought increased attention to gender dynamics in political debates, workplace meetings, and other professional contexts.

The impact of this phrase extended far beyond the debate. It quickly became a cultural touchstone, appearing on merchandise such as t-shirts, mugs, and face masks. Many people, especially women in professional fields, embraced these items as symbols of empowerment and solidarity.

However, the popularization of this phrase also led to some criticism. Some viewed it as an oversimplification of complex gender dynamics or as the commodification of a serious issue. Others debated whether the focus on this moment detracted from substantive policy discussions.

For Kamala Harris, this phrase became a defining part of her public image during the campaign and beyond. It reinforced her reputation as a strong, assertive leader and resonated with her campaign's themes of breaking barriers and giving voice to the underrepresented.

As the first woman, first Black person, and first person of South Asian descent to become U.S. Vice President, Harris's use of "Excuse me, I'm speaking" took on additional significance. It symbolized not just her individual assertion in that debate, but also the broader struggle for representation and respect faced by many in politics and beyond.

In essence, "Excuse Me, I'm Speaking" and Kamala Harris became intertwined in the public consciousness, representing a powerful moment of assertiveness, a call for respect, and a symbol of changing dynamics in American politics and society at large.

“From corporate boardrooms to government chambers, research continues to show that women are interrupted more often than men. A pioneering 1975 study carried out by sociologists Don Zimmerman and Candace West examined overheard 31 conversations between various combinations of people and found that in the 11 conversations between men and women studied, men were behind all but one interruption recorded.

Similarly, a more recent study conducted in 2014 found that a woman was more likely to be interrupted (by both men and women) than a man was. In a separate but more informal study conducted that same year, Kieran Snyder observed 900 minutes of conversations between men and women working in the tech industry. The study found that men interrupted others twice as often as women did and were nearly three times as likely to interrupt a woman as they were a man.”

There’s a Flaw in Your Argumentation

History is made every second of every day. Every second that passes is added to the history books. And while not every person will be documented, nor even every event will make it into the pages of history, the way society runs always will. So when you say “(white people and/or men) have had x privileges and therefore can be ignored in issue y”, the only proper response would be to say you are wrong. Even if you were correct, which you aren’t (and I will make a post at a later date going further into that claim), ignoring a group based on characteristics is wrong. Worse yet, actively working against them will set them in a place that is worse than where they started. 

The terms “mansplaining”, “manterrupting”, “manslamming”, so on and so forth, are going to negatively impact men. These terms are inadequate, as more realistically you can just use the nongendered terms “patronizing”, “interrupting”, and “bumping into someone on accident.” These things won’t just disappear when some so called equality is reached, it will continue on past it. Just as Jews were always depicted as oppressing the German people even through the Holocaust, so to will some people continue to harp on men even after some ill defined equality is met. Not saying these two things are comparable in anything other than the types of propaganda that are employed, obviously the Holocaust was one of the greatest tragedies to ever happen on this planet. It was just the first thing that came to mind (probably due to the fact that tragedies stick in your mind easy). 

My point is, you can’t reach equality by pushing others down. Not everyone will end up with the same as their neighbor, and forcing others down will only drag society down. Removing barriers that get in the way of success is so much more important and efficient. The world will never be perfect, but we could at least try to do our best to make it a good place to live. We have come a long way. Heck, I see the obesity epidemic as, in a way, a positive. For the entirety of human history, we starved to death by the tens of thousands, by the hundreds of thousands. Perhaps I should also make a post discussing the topic of decadence and the downfall of Western societies sometime soon.

Read The Room

Clubhouse has really brought home the meaning of this phrase. The ability to read a room is a fundamental social skill involving waiting, watching & listening. Any adult who doesn’t display this is choosing not to. People wander into rooms with clear titles, raise their hands to be called up to stage only to interrupt the conversation. A staggering majority of these are men whose first instinct…
