Mansplaining: A New Evolution or Just a Misunderstanding?
Written on
Chapter 1: An Unusual Incident
In a bizarre twist reminiscent of a zombie mastering door handles, a man named Christopher Manson has taken it upon himself to condescendingly explain a diagnosis to Bradley Wasser. Despite the inaccuracy of Manson’s explanation, it has sparked discussions in the community about whether this interaction qualifies as mansplaining.
Wasser had shared a post on Facebook stating, “My doctor diagnosed me with Ligma. I'm asking for patience during this challenging time and would appreciate any support from my friends here on Facebook.” Shortly after, Manson responded with an unsolicited explanation: “Ligma represents a reversal of traditional gender roles, where the wife often takes the lead while the husband assumes a more passive role. I don’t shame anyone’s preferences; I just want to clarify in case you misspoke.”
Section 1.1: A Wife's Perspective
Bradley’s wife, Jamie Wasser, commented on the situation, saying, “It wasn’t very humorous, but I was proud of him for not responding in a negative way.” Initially, Bradley intended to react but found himself at a loss for words due to Manson's misguided tone and odd interpretation of the fictional ailment. “Something felt off,” Bradley admitted. “He was so confident yet so disconnected, which left me feeling uncertain about myself.”
Subsection 1.1.1: A Friend’s Input
Simone Voight, a close neighbor and friend of the Wassers, chimed in with her own thoughts. “Did you mean to direct this at a woman?” she asked Manson. “I’ve never witnessed a man mansplaining to another man. LOL XD.” Bradley reflected, “Simone really grasped the essence of the situation. It was unfamiliar territory for me, but she recognized it immediately—too bad she received death threats afterward.”
Section 1.2: Expert Opinions on Mansplaining
Sociologist Brent Hayward defines mansplaining as “the act of a man explaining something to a woman in a condescending manner.” We aimed to gather more insights from Hayward, but our female intern abruptly left the interview. If anyone has heard from her or knows her whereabouts, please refrain from sharing.
At press time, we managed to get a hopeful remark from biologist Janet Simmons. Her take was succinct: “What’s Ligma?”
