Stop Mansplaning the Moon.

mallozzin · 2017-07-07T14:46:17+00:00

It's like my mom always says, you can't argue with stupid

AnDanDan · 2017-07-07T15:13:26+00:00

Checked her twitter out of morbid curiosity. Seems to be a mix of childlike complaining about anything that doesn't absolutely 100% conform to her world view and 'Pls donate to me on paypal <3 I deserve it'

BetterBadIdeas · 2017-07-07T15:30:49+00:00

Here we see the word "mansplaining" in its natural environment: shutting down an argument a woman is losing.

DarthTyekanik · 2017-07-07T16:58:41+00:00

Moonsplaining

samsc2 · 2017-07-07T14:52:02+00:00

never go full retard

AMEWSTART · 2017-07-07T13:48:41+00:00

Nerd: Simple proof that we landed on the moon: Apollo astronauts planted retroreflectors that ^{blah blah blah blah}

Woman On The Internet: I need you to stop mansplaining now.

"Which is her modus operandi apparently. Insult people, bait them into responding, and then sic her mob."

Contrary to the content of the above tweet, Shanley Kane does not want to be left alone.

Shanley has managed to establish herself as one of the more prominent members of the 'tech feminism' movement. She has over 10,000 sycophantic twitter followers herself, but her real reach is on display when some even bigger shitlib like Anil Dash retweets her to half a million or so. Twitter users call this technique 'amplifying a signal' and sometime will request it when they want to get their message to a broader audience (usually to demand that someone be fired). As such, she attracts notice and will appear in the press from time to time. In some ways she's the face of tech feminism (and trust me, you really don't want to see some of the others).

Shanley is prone to hilarious, childish meltdowns of epic proportions. These usually follow a pattern where some male engineer makes some sort of un-PC comment and she'll quickly escalate it to risible, histrionic claims and characterizations of the entire industry.

...She uses incendiary language combined with gross generalizations to set up a giant trap for any well-meaning but misguided nerd who wants to challenge her or just get 'educated' on why she feels that way.

That's when the real fun starts to happen. Her fans begin chiming in and echo her abusive language towards these poor saps.

Anyhow, you get the point. It's like a food fight in the cafeteria, except the cafeteria is full of hundreds of thousands of nerds and the ammunition is hashtags.

At the end of the day, twitter followers are won and lost, alliances are formed and broken, and the blocks keep rolling in. Some egos are bruised, but life carries on.

That's not the REAL fun though, which is getting an opponent fired!

Aroclor · 2017-07-07T16:41:34+00:00

Arguing with an idiot is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, they are just going to knock over the board and strut around like they won...

omnomdrugs · 2017-07-07T19:01:56+00:00

Shanley is a famous troll and you're all taking the bait.

cuquet90 · 2017-07-07T17:47:59+00:00

I thought mansplaining was like a condescending thing. Has it just become completely aligned with a man explains a thing to anyone?

BaldursShield · 2017-07-07T15:36:38+00:00

No doubt that this is stupid, but this low quality shit content for this sub, it doesn't belong here.

Err, what does this have to do with MensRights? Funny post, but not sure how it fits with the sub

I can't even... error....

IWasMisinformed · 2017-07-07T18:58:59+00:00

But mansplaining is to explain something she already knows. She clearly has no idea what she's talking about, so she's using the word wrongly.

goodbar1979 · 2017-07-07T19:34:46+00:00

aaaaah Shanley....

Grattojs · 2017-07-08T00:02:41+00:00

This is not really men's rights. It's more of just complaining about stupid women.

Stop womanbitching about the moon.

You guys know women can be trolls too right?

wiseprogressivethink · 2017-07-07T17:18:58+00:00

anyone else get the impression that the functional definition of "mansplaining" is basically "citing facts and evidence while using logic" ??

Holy shit, that chick is a fucking moron.

To quote Mark Twain, it's hard to win an argument against a smart person, but it's impossible to win an argument against a stupid person.

Pseudonymble · 2017-07-07T18:50:23+00:00

You "Need me to stop". No. You WANT me to stop, because your argument is over. You NEED me to stop because you NEED to keep your opinions unchanged, regardless of evidence. You NEED to grow up.

One the one hand, she's dumb.

On the other hand, we managed to accomplish something in 1969 that many people find incomprehensible to this day, which is pretty cool.

rogue780 · 2017-07-08T03:25:14+00:00

Based on her twitter, I think she's really suffering from mental illness. It's an amazing experience to read all her replies to herself.

TheTyke · 2017-07-08T15:49:15+00:00

Pretty sure she's trolling.

LoicyT · 2017-07-08T19:08:36+00:00

To be fair to the Lady, she is right that it is false that the presence of mirrors on the moon is absolute proof that humans landed there.

The mirrors could have been put there by Martians.

OldSchoolNewRules · 2017-07-07T16:42:03+00:00

I need you to stop trying to shut down the conversation with stupid buzzwords when you realize you dont have an argument.

"I need you to stop cuntfusing your feels for facts."

yocourage · 2017-07-07T17:43:21+00:00

I thought this was a subreddit for men's rights, not /r/menwhohatewomen. Yes, she's an idiot but how is this relevant to men's rights?

The2500 · 2017-07-07T17:07:54+00:00

I think I recognize that woman's picture from somewhere. Pretty sure she's joking...

blamethemeta · 2017-07-07T15:28:32+00:00

We did land on the moon.

That said, retro reflectors could have been placed by robot. It's not proof we put a man on the moon.

asillyduck_ · 2017-07-07T14:41:48+00:00

When I got to the end, undoomed's voice just popped in there. "hey moron, fucking moron".

bryanpcox · 2017-07-07T15:52:07+00:00

Mythandros · 2017-07-07T16:40:56+00:00

I don't think she knows how stupid she sounds.

I bet in her head it went like this "This cis white male scum thinks he knows better than me! I better show him how much better I am than him by trying to be edgy and insulting... yeah!"

Dumb feminists. Lol.

biquetra · 2017-07-07T17:19:50+00:00

Did they just assume the other person was a man? Ignorant scum.

Not to be rude but she is, in fact stupid, and, in fact, being a bitch. So here goes....What a stupid bitch.

Drayzen · 2017-07-07T21:02:40+00:00

I hate how we have to block the names. These people deserve to be degraded and marginalized for their asinine views.

Mansplaining is a sexist term used by Feminists to silence men whenever they please -Notch

bansporks · 2017-07-08T02:26:35+00:00

This chick is fucking dumb but I can't see how this has anything to do with our rights. Seems like it would fit r/insanepeoplefacebook or r/facepalm a lot better

sampson158 · 2017-07-08T05:15:43+00:00

Girl: stop using facts on me, i'm a girl and facts wont work!

BuddyReed · 2017-08-15T07:41:25+00:00

How do you just say false to a person? He was being helpful? I have never done that to anyone, if your wrong, your wrong, just admit it. He had proof where she did not.

HeForeverBleeds · 2017-07-07T16:52:51+00:00

In her mind, she probably won the debate: you can't really argue with "false" and "stop mansplaining" since they're non-arguments in the first place

BlueOrange22 · 2017-07-07T17:53:32+00:00

I get that men talking down to women can be a valid point, and I'm not saying it never happens because it definitely does, but often times Mansplaining seems to mean "a male who dares have his own opinion" or "you have to agree with me even if I'm wrong." It's like a debate tactic to shut someone down, "you're wrong because you're male and don't understand." Even this very comment could be labeled that way, it's circular and flawed logic. Something you say is labeled mansplaining, and no matter how unreasonable that is, any attempt to defend yourself becomes mansplaining to.

punk4278 · 2017-07-07T16:37:16+00:00

This was rough to read. I can understand not believing everything you're told but at the same time there are facts that you just cannot deny.

Pimppit · 2017-07-07T16:44:33+00:00

She's literally doing duck face in her icon, what did you expect? Quack quack

Eloquium · 2017-07-07T17:02:40+00:00

"False"

You can just hear her index fingers jam into her ear drums. What's the over/under on that this guy got blocked right after, before she explained why she believes we didn't actually leave mirrors on the moon?

Ttussok · 2017-07-07T17:04:52+00:00

I mean, they SAY they planted those reflectors. I'm going to need to go there myself to confirm. I mean..... I can't go there to confirm because the moon is the illuminati!

AustNerevar · 2017-07-07T17:29:22+00:00

The problem with using this argument is that a lot of Apollo 11 deniers do believe we landed on the moon, just much later than 1969.

Since we're on the topic, does anyone have a list of articles or information that successfully debunks moon landing deniers arguments?

Xanthan81 · 2017-07-07T17:41:25+00:00

Don't Moonsplain the Man to me!

emperorisnaked7 · 2017-07-07T17:50:40+00:00

That's why blocking exists.

fanboat · 2017-07-07T18:19:27+00:00

I made a comment about no one having been to the moon in my lifetime and got a lot of responses about how no one's been there ever. They weren't troll accounts.

ManSeekingToucan · 2017-07-07T18:19:28+00:00

Who would have guessed that the conspiracy theory nutjobs would breed with the feminism nutjobs to produce this?

The moon is a social construct.

jarvispeen · 2017-07-07T20:08:18+00:00

What does this have to do with mansplaining? This is just an example of a dumb person being a dumb person.

Geralt-of_Rivia · 2017-07-07T20:19:25+00:00

Since we have rovers on Mars, that's definitely not "proof".

No, I don't believe it's a conspiracy. We went to the moon, don't reply being faggots.

craschnet · 2017-07-07T20:27:03+00:00

He is so stupid.

PM_ME_REDDIT_BRONZE · 2017-07-07T20:56:05+00:00

A little off topic but how do we know said reflectors weren't placed by machine? Not a tinfoil-hat-wearing conspiracy theorist, but how does this prove men landed on the moon and not just rovers?

zylithi · 2017-07-07T21:03:35+00:00

Oh man, this lady is the combination of two types of fuckwheels I hate the most:

Moon landing deniers
Feminazis

Because, you know, the US totally spent $110 billion dollars and employed 400,000 people to build toilet seats and birdbaths.

Can we just round up all these lardbrains and put them on an island?

Shut up about the moon.

SHUT UP ABOUT THE MOON!

angels_fan · 2017-07-07T22:45:39+00:00

Well, to be fair, that's not very solid evidence.

Those reflectors could have been set there by an unmanned probe.

Not that I think the moon landing is a hoax, just that wouldn't be my go-to debunking fact.

z3anon · 2017-07-07T22:47:18+00:00

Luchadorgreen · 2017-07-07T23:00:42+00:00

Hilarious thing is that guy is Manboobz follower. He knows anout this thread amd tweeted that it was all about firing weapons...probably some far-fetched implication that the MRM is violent or some shit.

TheBiomedic · 2017-07-07T23:34:45+00:00

claiming 'Mansplaining' is just a childish excuse to shut down any discourse and preserve a flawed world view

Worst thing is "HE IS NOT BATTLING/ CHALLENGING HER" but backing up her position ' Her:"We landed on the moon" ! Him: "right w/ u against conspirationists, here is rational proof that backs ur position". Her "stop mansplaining"! ... like even agreeing is forbidden. Great way to say your sole presence corrupts the floor you walk on...

TrippyTriangle · 2017-07-08T08:00:39+00:00

These kind of arguments need to be called out for the bullshit they are. The arguments come from postmodern philosophy and gives the philosophy a bad name. The postmodern philosophy isn't antilogic like deep liberal minded people are.

U2_is_gay · 2017-07-07T23:54:10+00:00

Mansplaining is a real phenomenon. Unfortunately it's been co-opted to mean men who talk.

jeff_the_nurse · 2017-07-07T23:55:53+00:00

Hey, calling out women is oppression.

Bartleby_TheScrivene · 2017-07-08T02:08:45+00:00

Mansplaining: explaining shit to someone who knows more about it than you. IE telling a mechanic about timing chains when you only just picked up a wrench a week ago because she's a woman and obviously doesn't know what a timing chain is

Not mainsplaning: telling a retarded woman that she's retarded and here's why.

tludwins539 · 2017-07-07T19:13:11+00:00

If you want me to stop mansplaning then you need to stop womanquestioning.
