Mansplain man
Ok, I think you have heard me rant about "tech guys talking to tech girls".
Situation
When let say fixing something on a server, a $person asks a guy something like
Question: "Hey, do you remember what parameter of rsync to apply to replicate also the ACL settings?"
Answer
if [ "personB" = "girl" ]; then print{"Oh, rsync is a command for the command line. Maybe you want to try FileZilla? It has a really easy graphical interface."} else print{"Check -A, should do."} fi
Solution
During the years of receiving this retrograde treatment, I was grateful that when I do "man rsync" the output is not sorted and adjusted to my perceived gender alignment and in accordance with the ruling stereotypes.
So I thought that it could be interesting to materialise this situation.
We could collect such marvelous experiences and rewrite the man pages, so if you invoke "man rsync" you get the typical man page. But if you invoke "mansplain rsync" you get the mansplainer version.
Examples:
# man ls List information about the FILEs (the current directory by default). Sort entries alphabetically if none of -cftuvSUX nor --sort is speci‐ fied.
But then :
# mansplain ls ls stands for list. It is a command. It is something that you type in this scary black screen. After you typed 'ls' you can either press Enter (the big key on the keyboard), or you can write something more. But don't bother now about options, you will not need them in most of the cases, better you don't.
I am curious how far would get all this exceptional mansplainer geeks getting mostly this kind of input.
