After “mansplaining”, a group of “man”-prefixed words appeared to shame men for their bad behavior. There is “manspreading”, the habit some men have of taking up too much space in public places, especially spreading their legs when sitting on public transit. There is “manterrupt”, coined from “man” and “interrupt”. The latest “man”-word is “manslamming”, coined recently by New York magazine to describe “the sidewalk M.O. (modus operandi) of men who remain apparently oblivious to the personal space of those around them.”
在“男人说教”一词之后,一系列“男人”为前缀的词语应运而生,用以讽刺男人们的不良行为。比如“大爷式占座”,比喻男性在公共场合占用过多空间的行为,尤其是在交通工具上张开双腿而坐;还有 “男人(man)”和“插嘴(interrupt)”组合而成“男人插嘴”;以及最新出现的“男人式碰撞”,它来自《纽约客》杂志最近的一篇文章,用以描述“男人走人行道时只看自己周围的个人空间(如果你不先让道,他们会直接撞过来)”。
These words tend to catch on because they describe behaviors that men usually adopt unconsciously and that women find annoying or sometimes offensive, says Megan Garber in The Atlantic. According to Garber, these words point to forms of privilege that men think they are rightfully entitled to. These words are descriptive as well as prescriptive. Garber says: “They both describe a behavior and strongly advise against it. They hint at that the troubling fact that privilege tends to be highly apparent to everyone except the people who enjoy it.”
