mansplaining. . . .again

This latest ridiculous debate over the question of man versus bear has been so blown out of proportion. It clearly depicts why and how the main point of raising the topic was so obviously missed. Pounding home all too well the reasons why misogynistic patriarchy must be stopped and ended.

When majority of women responded that they would choose a bear over a man in the hypothetical situation it spawned viral reactions and debates all over social media. Viewers argued over the validity of either option while strong opinions were raised regarding gender relations.

women wronged

Hollywood dramatizations and blatant fictionalizing of historical and other truths does such disservice to the public in general and to their viewers in particular. Dumbing our world down is such a disgrace. This post takes offence  over how "Agora" the movie got Hypatía so wrong. 


"Agora offers no hint that Hypatía was also an internationally regarded philosopher, and the head of the Neoplatonist Academy in Alexandria. Socrates Scholasticus wrote that she “made such attainments in literature and science, as to far surpass all the philosophers of her own time.”
