That time—today actually—when random guy mansplains The Handmaid’s Tale to the author of The Handmaid’s Tale. 24 comments
It's not a gendered thing, it's an arrogant asshole thing. I've seen authors of scientific papers having been told what their papers ACTUALLY show. And people with doctorates in a very narrow and esoteric fields being told THE TRUTH about their personal area of expertise It happens frequently enough to fill me with joy for the epic self own. @jd Oh my f••king word. Islam, is it then? One of the three Abrahamic religions, as I recall A lot in common out at the far right, misogynist ends of all three Abrahamic religions, as I recall cc @BruceMirken |
@jd Her name was right at the top, next to a checkmark, and he didn't think to learn who wrote the book he thinks he knows so much about. I'm in awe of the arrogance.
