There are a lot of sad journalists out there — almost as if they’d taken a side in the Brett Kavanaugh nomination — and at least one of the female ones said she would really appreciate not being mansplained to Friday, thanks.
We are a country where two presidents who both lost the popular vote have now placed four justices on the Supreme Court. Democracy in action.

You have correctly identified the fact that the U.S. is not a direct democracy and was never intended to be.

Thanks for mansplaining my tweet back to me on a day like today.

It's a beautiful day in the manspleighborhood.
A beautiful day for a mansplainer.
Won't you be mine?

Won’t you be…. my mansplainer?

Wait. So correctly explaining the way our founders structured the electoral college is now considered mansplaining. Damn you, 2018. https://t.co/OwuPbYP6c2

Or just pointing out that what you are saying is incredibly dumb https://t.co/VmIjECiri8

EVEN BETTER. Someone tweeted that basic constitutional reality at her and she called it “mansplaining.” What, only white men can read the Constitution?
Julia Ioffe is a freaking national treasure. Never stop tweeting, Julia. You’re amazing. COMEDY GOLD. ??????? https://t.co/RRiR9mnppn

She demands equality for women & then claims she's too fragile to handle words.
Feminists, go figure ?
