THE PATRIARCHY STRIKES AGAIN!!!

>One operator said she took calls almost exclusively from men and many talked for a 'very, very long time', stopping other callers from getting through

>Men have been calling a dedicated mansplaining hotline to ask for tips on how not to be sexist – as well as to mansplain to call-handlers why the scheme is a bad idea.

>Unionen, Sweden’s largest union, ran the advice line throughout last week. It encouraged women to call up when male colleagues gave them unsolicited and patronising lectures on things they already understood.

>It was part of a campaign to highlight and stamp out the insidious and damaging practice of mansplaining, which the organisation said can lead to unequal pay.

>The hotline advised upset and frustrated callers, who had been victim of a mansplainer, on what action they should take next, and tried to help them move on.

TL;DR: Sweden's largest union opened a sexist "mansplaining" hotline for the sole purpose of letting misandrists whine about their male boss/co-workers. Men took exception and started calling the line to complain.
