Social Media Reacts To Mansplaining Canadian PM Trudeau's 'Peoplekind'

I guess Justin Trudeau's mother never taught him it's impolite to interrupt a lady because earlier today he rudely scolded a woman for using the (fairly common) term "mankind" rather than "people-kind." Man or mankind of course is a shorthand for human/humankind. Ironically, the woman being corrected was actually affiliated with the World Mission Society of God, a non-denominational church that is centered around the idea of "God the Mother." The attendees at his speech at MacEwan University seemed to mostly take the whole thing in stride, but social media has been lit up since.

It's true that Canada has been the butt of irreverent South Park jokes for decades now, but in our "post-satire" world, it's hard to outdo reality as far as ridiculous goes.

One thing that came off as incredibly distasteful to right, left, feminist and "otherkind" was the simple fact that Justin Trudeau, self-professed male feminist, was lecturing a young woman on how to "properly" be feminist. I'm no expert in these matters, but in an interview with former feminist Cassie Jaye (filmmaker of The Red Pill documentary) she mentioned how frustrating it is when feminists, male or female, don't want to trust the received experience of a woman. Putting feelings and words in someone's mouth is always rude. As rude as interrupting, so Trudeau did double duty here.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

University of Toronto professor and professional SJW hunter, hot off his "flawless victory" against BBC's Cathy Newman pointed out that this was actually the Canadian PM "at his wisest."

Several other members of the Twitterati took note of the fact that the young woman in question was merely a teen. Once again, I'm nearly out of my depths when it comes to such topics, but this seems like a case of purity spiralling for sure.

Not to mention the fact that this is certainly what is referred to in most feminist circles as "mansplaining."

This wouldn't be the first time Canada's well coiffed, but not always so well-spoken or mannered Prime Minister has put his foot in his mouth to make an embarrassment of himself and even many on the left, including some of those who elected him, seem to be growing tired of the superficiality of Trudeau as "Komissar der PC-Police." Prime Minister "Pretty boy" has been floating on his good looks and what passes for charm these days for some time, but one wonders how many times he might be able to put his foot in his mouth without ruining his image. After all, image is about all that's left to him.

Phil, you can't chastise this guy by saying he was "mansplaining a girl on how to properly be a feminist" and then go and head and refer to the girl as "merely a teen"

"merely a teen". Hmm. Well, you sure got my attention there, maybe take that hypocrisy and use it in your other articles to get other people's attention too

Obviously everyone, and by that I mean the actual organic public and not questionable statistical material, hates trudeau's PC-ness, but at least try and attempt to be unbiased when you write, that is, if your intention is to write anything of quality
