Question

Article on why Pakistani men are so misogynistic

(anywhere from 150-300)

Answer 1

Answer:

Mega-Mansplaining, a double feature with an extended cinematic ending no one asked to see

I call it Mega Mansplaining because guys, the normal already-sexist kind of mansplaining doesn’t cut it for these men anymore. Back in the day, it would be that a guy would just come and explain something to you in a way that made you feel like you were a brainless fish that had got lost in its own tiny aquarium. You felt like a guppy, an idiot when this guy came and explained something to you that you already knew. But here’s what’s new with mega-mansplaining: this time, men try and explain what other people have already said to you when they sat a mere 3 feet away from you and you nodded to mean you’d understood. Your nod means nothing to a Pakistani man who is determined that he will indeed, explain someone else’s point to you. Confused? I don’t blame you. Let me explain, or mansplain, wow. Cue scenario:

“Hey Amna, so just email me those videos from yesterday but in a PowerPoint so they look structured.”

“Sure Ali, I’ll do that right away.”

(Mega-mansplainer steps in): “Yeah Amna, Ali wants the pictures in a PowerPoint file just so he can see how they’re structured and that’s why you should put them in a PowerPoint and email them to Ali,” (walks off with satisfied nod leaving you seething in rage)
