Mark Ruffalo the Mansplainer: men “have to make a safe space inside of our privilege for women to speak up”
The elitism is nauseating.
Mark Ruffalo, actor, portrayer of The Hulk, and SJW extraordinaire went full sexist in a recent interview with Buzzfeed.
Speaking of privilege and protecting women, Ruffalo claimed women need men’s help to speak their minds and share their experiences.

“When you’re privileged, you have a voice, and right now, men are privileged. They have a privilege over women, ya know, that’s just the way it is. And um, and so we have to make a space inside of our privilege, for — a safe space for women to speak up and I hope, I’m hoping that more and more actors, men, will do it, but they are and there are ones that do, it’s just…we need more.”
Please, tell me more about this imaginary man jail where I’ll be free to speak my mind when a man says it’s ok to do so.
Ruffalo’s comments encapsulate the liberal notion that no freedom exists unless a special group intervenes and grants their coveted permission. And that deciding group is, conveniently, always the one doing the explaining. They always know better, you see. They’re always better able to help you and represent your interests than you yourself.
The elitism is nauseating.
Not only is this view horribly patronizing, but Ruffalo seems wholly unaware that he’s acting as the patriarchal control mechanism new-wave feminism always (claims it) rails against. Bonus, he’s effectively mansplaining what women need.
Needless to say, the response was uniformly unimpressed:
Horseshit. I don’t need a man’s permission or help to speak my own mind or share my stories. https://t.co/GQKiK1AxQN

Translation – women can't talk without the help of men, but I'm such a good person that I'LL be the guy to help them. Just to be clear, they can't talk without me..

Once I'm inside your priveledge, can I get out again or do I have to ask for permission?

Uh, no. I’m an adult woman capable of operating in real world situations without being affording special privileges like this. I don’t need a “safe space.” You can keep your patronizing bullshit to yourself.

Dear random celebrity,
Women are resilient and tough as nails, we don't need you speaking for us. We especially don't need your pity.
Look around the world, Americans are privileged. We've just taken our great country for granted. We need strong people, not weak ones.— YVONNE (@Infidel_Yvonne) January 30, 2018

EXCUUUUUSE ME Mr. Mansplainer. I have never once in my getting to be pretty lengthy life EVER needed a man to make room for me, give me permission to speak my mind or share my experiences.
For that matter, I have never needed a man’s permission or approval for ANYTHING. Stick in your pipe and smoke it!!
Or a woman, for that matter. Men, women, discover your dignity.
Ruffleo is a Condescending Little Twit!
Most revealing about this guy, is his obvious guilt over things he’s done to women.
Wonder how many #metoo women are lurking around, waiting to out this guy as a Weinstein wannabe?
Probably. His kind are unprincipled, or rather selective, and known to project their denial of dignity and value unto others.
They will always have Planned Parenthood… a liberal right and progressive rite denied to men and babies.
That said, the principle that is lost with a Pro-Choice religion, is that men and women are equal in rights and complementary in nature. Establishment of the Pro-Choice Church did more to deny women’s franchise, violate civil and human rights, and normalize the progressive corruption of science, than anything other than the related doctrines of color diversity (e.g. racism) and political congruence (“=” or selective exclusion).
Mark Ruffalo and Don Cheadle. Looks like the leftists are infiltrating Marvel films the same way they infiltrated Marvel comics. I’m sure the results will be the same if Marvel doesn’t nip this shit in the bud.
When was the last time you saw Captain American on screen with his trusty 1911s?
I will respond as soon as I get my wife’s permission.
Ummmmmm…..
All I needed to glean from this was the headline. No point reading any further.
Another insufferable, sanctimonious, self-aggrandizing, self-congratulatory Leftist Hollywood twit, brimming with self-perceived intellectual and moral superiority.
My God, how I earn for a bygone era when actors and entertainers did not believe that they, alone amongst the American populace, solely represented our collective sagacity and moral authority.
I can’t stop laughing!
I was going to snark on the obvious infantilization, but after reading all the responses from women, the only one who needs my help us Mark Ruffalo.
There is so much irony in the Marxist takeover of Feminism. How does turning women into victims to be used as props for identity politics empower women?
It’s the same with their philosophy of the “patriarchy” – 5000 years of men oppressing women is quite a win streak. If I can easily oppress you for 5000 years straight, we are NOT equals.
Who comes up with this nonsense?
His bio shows no college.
He is a 9/11 Truther
He wrote to CBS that they should stop hiring white conservative commenters.
I guess his safe space demands only apply to white women who are liberal. What a hypocrite.
“His bio shows no college.”
In this era I consider that a plus. Nonetheless, no amount of schooling helps when you’re as Grade A Stupid as this Hulk twit.
“…Mark Ruffalo, actor, portrayer of The Hulk, and SJW extraordinaire went full sexist”
How can I resist.
So, tell me again, exactly why did Bradley Manning become Chelsea Manning ?
“In this era – ”
I agree in general, but he is 51. His college era was late 80s.
Obama entered Harvard Law in the late 80s, don’t forget! Guy did more damage in office than anyone else.
I use era broadly, as in those of all ages who are productive at the moment, vs., say, those who contributed to society in the first half of the 20th century, or any other big chunk of time that could never be confused with another.
You know, one would figure that after being exposed for the cult of perversion that is Harveywood, that they’d just sit back and be quiet until most people forgot how disgusting they all are.
Nope, not these psycho’s…one of them has pop their heads up everyday and lecture us about what’s right and wrong while hiding their deviants and pedophiles and passing off their profession as “art”.
“Harveywood”! HA! Perfect!
I have barely heard of this guy, Mark Ruffalo. He must think he’s somebody 😉 I would say to him, “Get bent, douche”. 🙂
This is nothing more than a renewed attempt at PCism.
Well, if women are so brave and upright and courageous and direct and able to funtion effectively in the cold cold world around them then I would expect they don’t need to call out memories on #metoo thirty years later. But somehow I don’t quite believe it. Seems to me very few people actually stand up and say what they mean. Men and women. Now let’s argue about the percentages and how painful it all is and how much we have all suffered.
How hard is it not to rape a woman? I’ve been doing it my whole life.
Not raping women, I mean.
I don’t want to jump to any conclusions as I’ve been wrongly accused And the women were the heroes who refused to convict. Or even accuse. Not by the women.
But it’s precisely that. I know that a strong woman doesn’t need me to speak for her.
Yvonne in the above says women are tough as nails. I’m not going to argue.

But you also clean up real nice and smell good and make me smile when you laugh and just generally make life worth living. I hope I can still say this in the age of Harvey Weinstein. That It’s still possible for a man to appreciate women.
Any woman who knows her way around a Gatling gun has my respect.
Actually any woman has my respect.
Being in the kind of business I was in, I had plenty of opportunity for sex tourism. And I just couldn’t do it. Yeah, you can blow darts out of your [blank]. And your Mom doesn’t love you. She and your dad sold you into that life. But I have to participate?
My parents raise me better. And if you need help, call me. The Sailors of the United States Navy who got laughed at by our Chaplains after every port visit to Pattaya stand ready because, what else do we have to do?
