Men who explain things.

(I allow men to explain things to me that I already understand, far too often. They should stop it, and I should stop allowing it.)

[Edit: To those men who are explaining linux text editors to me, I didn't mean you. I *don't* understand this, and I appreciate the help. It's coincidence that I ran across this article at this time. :-)]

men
generally perceive more people--and especially women--as being such.


Well, that's kinda the point, no?

My father is like that. He doesn't care if the audience is men, women, or children. As long as they allow him to have the role of "He who gives knowledge". And 99% of the time, the knowledge he gives did not come from years of effort by him, but something he passively acquired by watching the Discover channel on TV.

It's as if other people only exist for pontificators to bolster their egos by spewing words at people.
