Mr Clever accused of "mansplaining"


Eldorado

Recommended Posts

"It was meant as an innocuous joke to amuse young children.

"But on Monday Mr Men found itself at the centre of a sexism storm when a feminist academic condemned a gag as an example of "mansplaining".

"The claims centre on a conversation between Mr Clever and Little Miss Curious, and a pun about the Forth Bridge in Scotland.

"An exasperated Mr Clever explains the Unesco site is so-called because of the Forth River, after Little Miss Curious asks “what happened to the First, the Second and the Third Bridges”"

If I'd been writing the newspaper story on his, I;d have chosen the headline "snowflake spotted in Stirling" :D  

Seriously, she's a dumb ignorant nobody and thankfully that's her 15 minutes of fame all done.  It's shown her up as a fool.

But I too want to know what happened to the First, Second and Third rivers!

Who are these feminists and how do they find all these things to get outraged about? They must have a worldwide intelligence network.  Don't these sad, pathetic people have anything better to do than get Outraged about everything?
