A student says Mr Men should be renamed Mr Mansplain over a scene where a male character explains a simple concept to a female character.
PhD student Shelby Judge, 24, who did her masters degree in women’s studies, said the series should be renamed Mr Mansplain after coming across the conversation between Mr Clever and Little Miss Curious.
her reaction was to say “eugh”, as the scene suggests “girls are stupid and it’s a man’s job to explain things to them”. “The quote ‘it was going to be a long day’ tells girls that men are exasperated with you for existing,” she said.was being used to “enforce these ridiculous antiquated gender roles”. “It’s not so obvious, because it’s meant to be a funny joke but then it’s always at the expense of women — it’s punching down,” she said.
“They don’t need to rely on such tired gender stereotypes for a children’s story about Scotland. Why is that what you want to give as part of your souvenirs?”
