can be frustrating. My latest pet peeve are the foodies. No matter
where I go, what group I'm hanging out in, the discussion of food
absolutely dominates. They'll talk about which pizza place is the
best in town for like, an hour. Or they'll talk about risotto for
a half an hour then move on to some other obscure dish. It's
exhausting. It's even worse when the foodies start mansplaining
beer to me. I've been home brewing longer than most of these
people have been alive. But they'll yap to no end about it while I
remind my self of Gellmann amnesia

<p>(apologies to Gil for (also) not helping to answer his original
plea for help with archive.org and lost-data retrieval, and kudos
to Glen for offering the Gell-Man reference, new to me)<br>
</p>
<p>Let me offer some mansplaining about mansplaining:</p>
<p>My favorite 3rd wave feminist (my numbering scheme, starting from
1 not 0) is Rebecca Solnit and I credit her both with the
mansplaining adjacent precedent in an essay ( circa 200x) titled
"Men explain things to me" where she recounts the experience of
attending a cocktail party invited by a friend (in San Francisco I
think) where the hostess introduced her to a man who had just read
the (first?) book she had published on Edward Muybridge. The man
was head over heels in love with the subject and the book but
didn't listen to the introduction well enough to realize he was
being introduced to it's *Author*, and proceeded to explain
everything he had learned from the book about Muybridge and his
work. My understanding of Solnit is that she is nobody's fool an
anything but a wallflower, but being "third wave" not known to be
a "firebrand" styled feminist. I don't know if she deliberately
kept paying out rope to hang himself with or not but by the time
she extracted herself from the conversation, I think she never
interrupted him (effectively?) enough to correct or inform him on
the nature of his travesty of the moment. <br>
</p>
<p>I do believe that "mansplaining" as a verb grew popular out of
that incident/recount (maybe not, "all anecdotes are wrong, few
are interesting, none are useful?")<br>
</p>
<p>She also coined (FWIW, more self-fact-checking indicates she did
not coin but merely amplify) the hashtag #yesallwomen in response
to the #notallmen hashtag of roughly 2013(fact-check sez 2014)...
I was not a hashtag-kinda-guy but knew the idiom at the time...
it was after the (before the name existed?) incel living with
several (asian-american?) roomates (he being pasty-white) knifed
three to death, drove to a sorority house (where he had been
ignored/excluded), shot several women, then went on a
shooting/hit-run rampage until he self-anhillated.</p>
<p>What follows is my contribution to the power demand of AI
attempting to fact-check myself loosely at the expense of the
planet's resources which I purport to want to save for my
grandchildren to continue to exploit a little longer: <i>(I
don't know what the gripe GPT has with my question, perhaps the
very reference to "incel" or "killing"?)</i><br>

<p><font size="2">The incident you're referring
to is the <em>2014 Isla Vista killings</em>,
which took place near the University of
California, Santa Barbara. The attacker was
a 22-year-old man named Elliot Rodger, who
carried out a killing spree on May 23, 2014.
His rampage involved a combination of
stabbings, shootings, and a car attack, and
was driven by his deep frustration and anger
over his inability to form relationships
with women, a theme he frequently expressed
in his writings and online videos.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">Rodger started by stabbing
three of his roommates to death in his
apartment. Afterward, he drove to a nearby
sorority house, where he attempted to enter
but was unable to. He then shot three women
outside the house, killing two of them.
After this, he continued driving through
Isla Vista, shooting at pedestrians and
running people over with his car before
ultimately taking his own life.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">In total, Rodger killed six
people and injured 14 others. He left behind
a manifesto and several YouTube videos
outlining his grievances, largely focusing
on his personal struggles with social
isolation and rejection by women. The
incident sparked widespread discussions
about mental health, misogyny, and the
influence of online communities that foster
extreme views about gender and
relationships.</font></p>
