was anyone else aghast at the mansplaining going on to the Appellate Court Judges [View all]

by the T lawyer?

I listened to the proceeding, not knowing that T was sitting there egging his creepy lawyer on. I only heard the voices.

But I began cringing in the first few minutes.

That guy- he was just so obnoxious. And the Appellate Judges so politely responding- the whole thing seemed to me to be dominated by a man telling women how to reason- and they did not respond back with any force. Only the normal nuanced and rather respectful discourse women have with know it all men all the time, very single day of my life, which thankfully has been long.

Not that I dreamed of them ramming the idiocy of his arguments back at him- as many men in that situation would have. But, overall, l was left wondering how it would have played to the general public had one of them laughed at him, or chastised him for bringing preposterous arguments to the court. With some verve.

Instead, it all came across as the usual man telling the women what to think.

What else surprised me was that nowhere anywhere did I see one thing written about this in the popular press.

I have been really busy lately and only now am sitting down to share these thoughts with you. But did anyone else react to that interchange in the way that I did?
