Just pretend we're related - brothers and sisters - then no-one will report us for not social distancing.

That'll work, won't it?

Yes, I know it sounds silly today, but back in 2020 during the great plague, a lot of people protested that wearing a mask was against their civil rights.

”Today, I’d like to briefly explain to you about mansplaining. Now I know that you two guys know this but please bear with me while I try to explain it to the girls. Mansplaining is where a man has to explain something to a female in minute detail because he believes that they couldn’t possibly understand it without his explanation. Mansplaining comes from two words: Man, from Latin meaning leader, and Explain which comes from French and means to get off the plane, it is a metaphor for spreading information from a central vessel. Now some feel that mansplaining is condescending, but I don’t want to use such large words that will confuse you. Put simply, condescending is another metaphor and comes from Greek for a man, Con, walking down the stairs of the metaphorical French plane to share with the world that the Greeks are the people who started civilisation, which is the concept that men will work while women stay home and housekeep, and take care of their man. I have so much more to share with you about mansplaining, including some simple examples to help you understand, but I understand that you girls probably need a break to take in all that I have said so far. When we come back I’ll explain why a woman’s physiology means they need more breaks during the day than men.”

Did you just hear - that guy over there - making an attempt at explaining - mansplaining.

Any of you ladies - like to help him out.

Did you hear the one about the guy who was so dumb that he thought the Victorian border paid rent?

thank you davidc

I was a bit apprehensive about posting my ‘mansplaining’ caption, but thought it needed to be long to show what mansplaining was all about. For those who are not aware this means I now get to post the next photo for a caption. I also get to decide when the next caption thread will end and if there is a tie I will decide the winner. The winner then gets to set the next caption thread. It is all meant to be a little fun, but some members do take offence to the chosen photo, so I will try my best to choose a photo that is likely to get up some people’s noses . . . or a pic that has something to do with noses as a metaphor for getting up certain posters noses. Anyway, it is customary for the caption winner to post the next caption thread in a timely manner. I’d like to explain a little more about caption this, including a brief history of the previous 273 winners, but I’ll see about doing that another time. Thanks again davidc for passing on the batten. I’ll try to get a new thread up soon, as is customary.
