Umm, the last line doesn’t scan. It has too many syllables.
That’s one mansplain for today. Need to do 7 more, and 8 each day for the next 4 days. That’s too hard! How do those courageous professional MRA’s ever keep up?

DMs?
You forgot concern trolls.
Last year has seen a lot of online harassment of ndn activists too. Seems that /b/ is now the model for activism. Or that other thing, asshattery.
thats awesome
