May I “Mansplain” Something for a Minute, Please?

Can you provide a couple of examples of intentional psychological intimidation that a man might typically use against a woman?

"I'll tell everyone you're a whore if you don't sleep with me."

Who here hasn't heard that one?

I meant a couple of examples relevant to competition between men and women. In what instances, where a man and woman are competing, will the man behave as described? And what does that look like?

"She’s not even that good at her job. She got where she is by blowing the boss".

The funny thing is? That's a false. You know what a truth is?
"Oh him? He got the promotion because he has a penis. It's why he's paid more too."

Both of those statements are awful to say about someone.

I get your point, but there’s a great deal of evidence suggesting that your statement isn’t true at all. If you’d like to discuss it sometime, I’ll be glad to offer it up. But if you’re completley sold on your current worldview and no amount of evidence will change it, then no worries.

I have SEEN IT HAPPEN. Men promoted over women because management is a boy's club. Female students in STEM fields ignored. I am not blind to it because it hurts me. No evidence will change statistics - because of view's like yours women will never be treated equally in the workplace. Because apparently you boys lack the ability to treat a person professionally if they don't have testicles.

Again with the ad hominem. Geez! I’m gonna start downvoting your comments if you can’t at least have a respectful conversation.

Most all of my senior staff people are women, actually. My two CPAs. My lawyer. The head of my compliance group. The head of my TPA firm. My Operations Manager. All women. Odd given that I have testicles, huh?

Perhaps the issue in your case isn’t your lack of balls but rather your attitude?

Show this article to the women at your workplace. Print it out and give it to them.

Again, please email your article to your female bosses! Let's see what happens!

That's just something people say. I would not be able to attribute that statement as more likely to come out of either sex.
Women speak to and about each other even worse than men speak to or about them. We've long enjoyed the privilege of extra respectful treatment from men and are loath to relinquish special treatment in exchange for equal treatment.

I've never said that to anyone. Nor would I ever.

Can't say I've used (or heard) that one.
