On my way out of the gym yesterday I encountered a couple of binmen winding each other up about the football. One of them decided it was necessary to stop and explain to me what they were on about :D.

A great example of mansplaining. That's when a man explains something very obvious to a woman in a manner that he thinks is helpful but is actually patronizing. Just in case you didn't know, luv.

A rare case where stereotypes about gender are actually relevant to the situation thus the word actually fits. Too often it's used without that being the case.

Although these are funny (I've posted the porn film historian myself), I have to point out that it's not as innocent as it may seem. Having been interviewed and cited by media myself, I can tell you that it's not these people who come up with the labels, but the journalists and/or editors. The interviewees are not consulted about this after the interview, and usually only get to see the finished product when it's out. I've been labelled various things without my consent, and I'm pretty sure these guys had no say in whether they would be called "bread scientist" or "shredded cheese authority". I'm sure Cauvain would describe himself as a nutrition scientist, and Scheuerman could be anything from a cheese vendor to an insurance accountant who knows a lot about cheese.
