This Dudes Twitter Perfectly Mocks How Men Talk About Women
This Dudes Twitter Perfectly Mocks How Men Talk About Women We love when women support other women, but support from ur male coworkers, mentors, familymembers and friends is also incredibly important.One of those male allies? The Man Who Has It All, an anonymously run Twitter account that highlights the ridiculous ways men talk about women. The accounts creator gender flips lifestyle advice for his 176,000 (and growing) fans. Hes even turned it into a hilariousbook From Frazzled to Fabulous How to Juggle a Successful Career, Fatherhood, Me-Time and Looking Good.(Source Twitter)(Source Twitter)In an interview with The Huffington Post, the creator of manwhohasitall said his goal was to reimagine the crap messaging from various publications and advertisementsgeared towards working mothers. That messaging is typically full of ridiculous stereotypes, and when its aimed at men instead of women that ridiculousness is amplified.Recently, manwhohasitall started a new Twitter thread with a se emingly straightforward question(Source Twitter)Twitter users answers were, as expected, hilarious. Heres one of our favorite exchanges from the thread(Source Twitter)(Source Twitter)(Source Twitter)Another exchange did a particularly great job of highlighting issues that women in STEM face every day(Source Twitter)(Source Twitter)(Source Twitter)And this Twitter user used Donald Duck to drive her point home(Source Twitter)Of course, its no secret that women are frequently excluded from the workplace, from mentoring opportunities and even from projects that theyre in charge of. According to a recent study by Heather Sarsons, a PhD candidate at Harvard University, when male and female academics collaborate on research, the male co-authors get more recognition and credit than their female peers. The result? Less upwards mobility for women at work.Remembering the journalistic clich that one is an example, two is a coincidence, and three is a trend, columnist Justin Wolfers wrote for Th e New York Times. Theres a simple unconscious bias at work here.Maybe thats why manwhohasitalls tweets resonate so much their humor pinpoints the biases women deal with on an everyday level. Turning it towards men forces us to evaluate our perspectivesand thats a good thing.Dont get me wrong, Im absolutely fine with dads who work, the account creator said in character. It boosts their self-esteem and gives them an identity beyond just dad.
