Every single one of them look like their eyes are about to roll right out of their heads.
I mean, at most meetings I shift between holding back rolling my eyes, and forcing them open so I don’t fall asleep.
Literally just a person talking in a group to other people. How is this a science meme?
When you work at a university the marketing department is always a meme.
Fuuuuck, they cover the walls of our science buildings with those now. It’s like, how much are you spending on this shit, but you can’t fix the fucking HVAC in the building?
It’s mainly funny, because all the women look bored out of their mind. It makes it look like they’re letting Greg blather on, even though none of his points are novel to them. And Greg has such a massive ego that he doesn’t notice no one is listening to him.
Obviously, yes, Greg probably is just a person without ego talking normally. But him being the only dude in the picture and the only one talking, the mansplaining interpretation is a little too close for comfort, which makes it funny.
"It’s mainly funny, because all the women look bored out of their mind. "
That’s just how people look in most academic conversations.
We can’t have a dude explain things to girls because girls can’t be interested in what a guy has to say. Girls good. Guys bad.
I’m more intrigued by what appears to be a ghost arm behind his right shoulder.
It’s the hair of yet another lady sitting in the background.
Okay, the building name is the chef’s kiss.
I thought he had a huge ponytail
Nice! Amazing what a few extra pixels can do.
Looks like the back of someone’s head to me, but the picture is kind of blurry
Fats his fabulous raccoon’s tail.
Dude must drive a
T-topR-top trans-am
a ghost arm behind his right shoulder.
The arm of the student who literally died of boredom.
I choose to believe the more wholesome version that this is their gay, autistic, and genuinely endearing friend who got started on his special interest without realizing that nobody else cared, and his friends otherwise like him enough that they’re trying to figure out how to move the conversation forward without hurting his feelings after they all lost interest minutes ago.
“So during Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Spock is passing through decks in the Enterprise, and we see one called Deck 78. Now you see, this class of Enterprise only has 23 decks, and so unless we assume someone misnamed this deck, how did this one get here? Some fans have speculated that maybe maybe Q put it there as a practical joke to confuse the audience, but why would Q use the number 78 specifically? This could be a reference to the episode All Our Yesterdays in The Original Series which is production code 78. In this episode, Spock reverts to being emotional like his primitive ancestors after traveling back through time, and this could be hinting to the idea that he secretly feels emotions for his half-brother Sybok who’s the antagonist of the movie.”
Go on…
After successfully docking with his long-lost step brother, the Enterprise ventures off after Q, anonymously masquerading as 78 Christmas trees each one representing the different layers of love that Spock feels towards the 23 decks.
How is that more wholesome than “person speaking in a group”?
The interpretation in the rest of this thread is that this man is being a sexist, condescending douchebag to his peers. I hope “overly enthusiastic about your favorite subjects” is better than that.
Fair enough. But it doesn’t look like either of those, it’s looks like a tutor or study group and they’re literally just having a conversation. I guess I’m not surprised some people on lemmy don’t know what a conversation among friends looks like.
I dunno, the one in the top right looks like she’s seriously reconsidering her life choices…
Yeah i said “a tutor or study group”
Why can’t there just not be people deciding he’s being condescending for being straight and tutoring some girls?
Because if you don’t create division, how will the billionaires get even more rich?
Those women are waiting for him to finish so they can correct the numerous errors in his scientific reasoning.
It’s true. He’s the student trying to work through his proposal.
Is that a Risk map? Is he mansplaining the Siam Camp strategy?
Settlers of catan
The comments in this posts have everything I hoped to not see again once I left reddit for Lemmy 😭
Like I’ve been mansplined before and it wasn’t fun. And no, women are less likely to do that because of societal reasons, not genetics 😂. I’m not even sure if some of the comments come from scientists, with the amount of confusion over social/genetic causes.
Anyways, if you think someone needs help with something, always ask. And when talking to someone, ESPECIALLY if it’s a colleague/classmate, don’t try dumbing down the conversation unless you know the person you’re talking to won’t understand it.
Tbh my only gripe with this post is the assumption that because a man is explaining something to a group of women, it’s automatically mansplaining. Although I guess it’s a joke so whatever.
Yeah it’s not meant to be taken seriously. It’s because of the girls’ deadpanned expression that it was just twisted this way. Nobody actually believes that this picture is mansplaining. Just a funny coincidence.
It’s been available for over 10 years at PragerU
Ffs I hate PragerU. The website “All Sides Balanced” quotes them as if they are a reliable and genuine university that does research, when in fact it’s a right wing propaganda machine that spews the already derided laissez faire economics and climate change denialism.
Yep. Had a friend who thought it was a genuine university, I kept trying to explain how wrong that was… 😅
Jesus, this comment section is the sort of shit I’d expect from Reddit, lighten up, people!
It’s this big…
What envious lesbians see when women listen to a man.
I hate that I have to political aline with these people
Who are these people?
Edit: interesting couple of answers here
Australians.
Southern Australians.
People who just assume that the add is sexist because a man is talking to women.
Its one of the images where people are looking for something to offend them.

I never help a female coworker who needs assistance or guidance cause I’ll just be accused of mansplaining. So I let them drown and get called an asshole who doesn’t help so you lose either way.
If only there was a way of helping without being condescending or immediately assuming oneself to be more knowledgeable or capable on a topic with nothing to base it on other than physical appearance.
Perhaps you could even ask if they want help first. Crazy idea.
let’s not get too extreme here
What’s wrong with asking?
you tell me, since you said you’d rather not help at all
I’ll just be accused of mansplaining
Have you actually been accused, or are you afraid of being accused? Because in reality, most people don’t give two shits about the idea of “mansplaining”.
