For me techbro behavior and mansplaining are problems when they show up in the "right" gender. Actually mansplaining by folks coded female/feminine would probably feel subversive as often as not, that is to say "a problem" in a good way -- which I guess is why the parodic Betty Bowers figure came to mind when I was casting about for an example.Dale Carricohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811055279887722298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956838.post-52708416383696966512014-06-12T07:44:49.455-07:002014-06-12T07:44:49.455-07:00Women can be as nasty/power-hungry as men (within ...Women can be as nasty/power-hungry as men (within the narrow parameters allowed to them culturally, which are inevitably issues coded female/feminine, hence the mother-in-law stereotypes & realities). Is that a surprise - or a problem but only if such attributes show up in the "wrong" gender?
