    Literally just a person talking in a group to other people. How is this a science meme?

      It’s mainly funny, because all the women look bored out of their mind. It makes it look like they’re letting Greg blather on, even though none of his points are novel to them. And Greg has such a massive ego that he doesn’t notice no one is listening to him.

      Obviously, yes, Greg probably is just a person without ego talking normally. But him being the only dude in the picture and the only one talking, the mansplaining interpretation is a little too close for comfort, which makes it funny.

        "It’s mainly funny, because all the women look bored out of their mind. "

        That’s just how people look in most academic conversations.

          I wonder why they don’t leave, why do they subject themselves to this guy’s domination?

          are they weak or something?

          The picture seems to be from Australia, I’m from Germany, so uh, no idea about the USA. 🙃

          And yes, that can be a normal situation, but if we recognize that it’s a joke, we can still see the resemblance and find that humorous.

            yeah, it took it far to serious, let it be a joke. ;-)

            ich hab auch schon so gelangweilt an einem großen tisch gestanden, in einer gruppe von gelangweilten menschen.
