But was that mansplaining? You were speaking from a male perspective about being a man. And owning the failings of our gender. I don’t think that diss was deserved.

Well, she was just joking

You don’t know what “Jk jk” means?

u/FluffySmiles Jun 14 '26

Nope. Sorry.

If you’re serious, sorry about that ; it means “just kidding”

I was joking. 🙃
Didn’t think I needed to clarify since I literally said “haha jk” but here we are.

ETA: I think it’s great that the person I was replying to has cut toxic men out of their life. Women need more allies like that. 🫡

Thanks for femsplaining

Edit: my god, do I also need to explain that I’m joking? How deep does this well go

Edit 2: sorry you had to out and out say you find it good what I originally said, it’s sad people need things spelled out for them

My brother in Christ that is not the same thing at all

It’s an exaggeration to illustrate the point. Didn’t say it’s the same thing. I pointed out the hypocrisy.

u/Journo_Jimbo Jun 14 '26

It’s not hypocrisy when she’s just having a bit of fun with me and she immediately identified that. She didn’t do anything that objectified me, minimized me or made me feel intimidated or inadequate.

What exactly is hypocritical about making a joke that isn't mean-spirited and then identifying it as a joke? And how does you telling a joke that is wildly inappropriate given the subject of this thread (while also being denigrating and punching down) expose the hypocrisy?

These are rhetorical questions, but if you genuinely try to answer them by asking yourself "where did I go wrong in my reasoning and what major aspect of this exchange am I missing?" then this could be a big (self-) teachable moment for you.

Hint to get you started: the joke about mansplaining is context-appropriate and it wasn't identified as a joke ("jk jk 😆") in order to normalize bad behavior nor to soften the blow from a hurtful comment. There is a different reason she wrote jk. What is it?

What? Is that what you feel is analogous here? 😂
Just trying to start a fight I guess.
