Two great pieces by Jess Zimmerman: Men, Get On Board With Misandry and Opinions Are Like Orgasms: Men Will Get Theirs All Over You.

(Some additional background from the Geek Feminism Wiki: 'Splaining and Resources for Allies. Finally, Feminism 101 also has a useful FAQ.)

This post was deleted for the following reason: Sorry, this is a bit hodge-podge, with the first post very briefly explaining ironic misandry (this might be a good basis for a longer post), and the second sort of making a quick cheap joke about mansplaining = ejaculate, and we've had quite a few "mansplaining" conversation already. Think about another way to go with this? Contact us if you have questions. -- taz



 
At the risk of ejaculating an opinion into this thread, I would say that both Medium pieces were fundamentally unsatisfying. Need to be essays, not blog posts. Like, I have never heard of this person before. I also challenge his/her definition of masculinity. Because what s/he is talking about is not masculinity, but misogyny. So a bit longer blog post in each case would be good, just to flesh out the writers ideas and opinions. Like, how is this person different than, say, Roxanne Dunbar?

(I also think that since this is MetaFilter, I think this is a safe place for me to say that I have not heard of someone from a subculture before.)

Ooh, irony! Everything is better with irony!

Note: above comment may contain irony. Or not. I don't even know anymore
