CreepyPM Time: Let Me ‘Splain That For You Edition
Let’s take another visit to the CreepyPM subreddit, where innocent souls post screenshots of the perfectly horrendous private messages they’ve gotten, sometimes on dating sites, sometimes not.
In this case, the recipient is a young black woman on OkCupid, the sender a white man more than twenty years her senior and 13 years out of her specified age range. He decides that the best way to overcome this age gap is to … mansplain and whitesplain to her about the history of Planned Parenthood.
And then there is perhaps the most awkward segue in the history of internet dating.
In the screenshot below, he’s red, she’s blue.
Directed by M. Night Shyamalan!

Anyone seen the latest Dead Philosophers in Heaven? Very apt for splainy misogynists generally.
New Dead Philosophers in Heaven! That comic doesn’t update nearly enough.
I know. We need MOAR!
Especially poor old Nietzsche copping it again.
