I've just encountered man-typing

OK, I'm just being snarky.
I'm at a conference. There's a man at the same table as me who told me yesterday how he deliberately stands to be assertive/aggressive and then moves into people's personal space to intimidate them when they're having a difficult conversation. so, quite an assertive person in general.

Today, he's typing. Not listening to the speaker, but doing his emails etc. He is typing SO HARD that the entire table is wobbling. There are 5 other people at the table, and none of us are typing/writing so hard that the table shakes.

(and yes, I should be listening to the speaker, but he's annoying me so much I have to put this somewhere)

He's just used a Mike Tyson quote to back up his point. He and I are not the same kind of people, clearly.

Sounds like a prick.

Assert dominance by chucking his device out the window, quickly followed by him.

Yes we had a woman at work who typed like that. She had extremely long nails that clacked away loudly. I'm not sure how she could type at all, her nails were so long.

Looks like he's left early! Now I can work in peace.

I don't see how this relates to feminism tbh. Might be better in AIBU.

How can you type so hard the table wobbles?

Maybe a table upgrade is needed?

Pie Man sticking up for the menz again.

Can't be the man that's wrong. It must be the table!!

PeanutButterSmoothie · 12/02/2023 04:23

The phrase 'menz' is pretty cringe tbh.

I think you mean aggressive, deliberately intimidating people isn’t assertive.

Feminist forums seem to get a lot of infiltration from men who want to stay in charge of the conversations women are having amongst themselves.
