LOL.
Here’s Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau mansplaining why this woman was wrong to use the term “mankind” instead of “peoplekind” in her question at a town hall meeting:
He wasn’t joking: Justin Trudeau interrupts woman during Q&A when she used the word “mankind.” He recommended that she say “peoplekind” instead. pic.twitter.com/mG61BlDcVU

I joked about this earlier but I just wanted to note:
The insistence on this kind of language seems to be a signal within the liberal camp that if you join without knowing all the code words, you will have to sit down and shut up
It's a fascinating form of classism https://t.co/g7XN6YBifu— PoliMath (@politicalmath) February 6, 2018
And he does it in a really condescending manner as well. Why? https://t.co/sPorYPX5Y1

Our bad. We mean “peoplesplaining”:
Trudeau wasn't 'mansplaining' – he was 'peoplesplaining'

“Maybe in order to understand mankind we have to look at that word itself. MANKIND. Basically, it's made up of two separate words 'mank' and 'ind.' "What do these words mean? It's a mystery and that's why so is mankind." – Jack Handyhttps://t.co/ZWmpTrcgo2

The US-right-wing pile-on re Trudeau's "peoplekind" is pretty misleading.
He was lightly ribbing a woman who was rambling about the power of women, "God the Mother," and how the world needs womanly love. Fox excluded her response to him: "There you go, exactly. Yes. Thank you." pic.twitter.com/Wl4QIumWrA
