Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 30, 2018

For feminists, when a man opens his mouth, it’s either microaggression or mansplaining. A guaranteed method of never getting married. Cut him off every time he opens his mouth, make sure he regrets everything he says… and then wonder why he never wants to see you again.

However, anyone who says ‘Let me tell you (ladies or men) what’s best for you’ is not communicating. That person is either talking down, or dictating to…

That statue would be guaranteed to be covered in more than pigeon poop.

Cause of death remains unclear and open to speculation but eyewitnesses claimed many NJ state birds were present at the scene, and they didn’t mean goldfinches.

I’m a man who has been trying to be a feminist for the last 35 years. I say “been trying” because no man can presume to understand the female’s situation in so many circumstances around the world in life that is loaded in favour of men.

If a few feminists, in their frustration, come across as too aggressive, I say that women have earned the right over millennia to do that. Or, let’s all say – “hey, women can never be at the same level as men”!

So, a negative gender specific term is not sexist‽

Aretha Franklin said it best: R.E.S.P.E.C.T. May she rest in peace.

Not so much unknown; just the guy most forgotten through mighty concerted and constant effort.

anyone can have an opinion. no-one forces you to listen

But what happens when a woman is constantly explaining things to her husband (because it happens)?

Wonder what the guy by the tree is reading – Something philosophical, no doubt

It is not mansplainig if you asked him howto anything

Because women, of course, never unnecessarily explain things.

Father Knows Best.

You can’t complain if you constantly tell him what do to, what to wear, how to act and/or how to think. Or you can but note – Dante put hypocrites in their own section of the 8th level of H*ll, which is how bad they are.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned the “manspread”. ;-}

I’ve also seen it the other way around. Watched an older couple in the grocery store the other day while the husband picked an item off the shelf to put in the cart and the wife snapped “You DON’T like that!”

Husband: “Yes, I do!”

Wife: “And I’m telling you that you DON’T, so put it back!”

You’ll notice the park bench is now empty, in his honor. Nice touch, Wiley !

38 years of marriage. Ups and downs. Neither is always right. We have respected each other. We both know the relationship is more important than any one single incident or discussion. We love each other and care for each other. Neither one of us “Cut him(her) off every time he(she) opens his(her) mouth, make sure he(she) regrets everything he(she) says..” If you love each other you listen.

“Here are my genitals, kick me.”- Rowan Atkinson, Black Adder

so… to be truly equal, us men need to quit buying dinners, drinks, vaca- trips, everything so that the girlsplainers can have equal time.

Where are the angry college students trying to topple that statue?

Coincidentally, those were his last words…

My Father always use yo say “I’m the King of this Castle because my Wife says so.”

And he died right there on that spot after uttering those very words.

I am a librarian. I do not mansplain, and I do not whitesplain. I PhoenixNYCsplain, and it gets done to anyone who is being phenomenally, world-class, “i-want-a-photograph-of-Jesus-and-recordings-of-Bach-playing-his-own-music” stupid (I didn’t get those, but colleagues of mine did. I got the guy who needed a book to teach him how to make a sandwich).

Seems they needed to add the little fence to keep doggies from doing their business on the statue.

That’s not a jogger in the background. That’s a mansplainer who just told his wife how to vacuum the carpet.

He might have Lived Longer is he wasn’t also a Manspreader.

One day, while he was Mansplaining, a foot “Slipped” and he bled to death after refusing to allow a Woman Doctor to treat his injuries.

Calling the doctor a “Jumped up Nurse” may also have had something to do with it.

Needs more bird splots.

We won’t discuss how he died. (:-)

“If a man says something and there is no woman present, is he still wrong?”

You betcha!

YOu think you do. You don’t.
