That doesn't address the quality of hanging a TV. The things you mentioned are superficial. Being good at hanging a TV is structural. The only way one would know if another was good or bad at it is if the TV eventually fell off the wall or was loose, which one could not see from a FB post.
Bud, there's a term around men over explaining things because it's such a thing: mansplaining. There's also a real big trope in many relationships about men trying to solve problems instead of saying "wow that sucks". This behavior is so ubiquitous that it's in sitcoms and has been for as long as TV has existed.
Too much what? The point I was making was a singular plural unit, just like an amount of (singular) refried (plural) beans.
Too many refried beans.
That didn't involve you learning how someone can hang tvs better than you on Facebook. Having hung a TV or two in my day, I don't know how one can learn to respect another's ability there based on social media
Quick edit: I'm also super annoyed at op to tie it to 'positive masculinity' while describing the quintessential male trait - they like teaching or displaying their abilities. Go grill or work on cars with a group of men and see what happens. It's a fucking trope. This nonsense wholesome schtick is gross.
Who notices that someone is better at mounting tvs? How does one notice this? What is this made up scenario?
This graph is quite confusing and not beautiful. Months? Years? The words and numbers font correlate.
Once we can assume the "common person" is well versed in post structuralism, we can have that chat. Until then, I'm good with a pragmatic approach to linguistics.
