Mantle eruption

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manterruption (also: Manterrupting ) is a suitcase word from man (English: man ) and -terruption (English short form of interruption to the verb to interrupt , to interrupt ). The term is associated with the interruption of a woman in a conversation by a man . The term goes back to an allegation that allegedly primarily the male gender would interrupt the female in a conversation. However, this thesis is controversial, since so far only a non-statistically representative application called "WomanInterruptedApp" has served as the basis and thus it could not be proven whether it is a sexist problem.

Emergence

One of the first mentions of the term “manterrupting” dates back to January 14, 2015, in the English news magazine Time . The English newspaper The Guardian also adopted the word in a report a few days later. However, the establishment of the word " mantle eruption " only took place 2 years later by the Brazilian agency BETC Sao Paulo, which wanted to draw attention to the supposed problem that women are interrupted by men with a campaign for International Women's Day . To support this campaign, an app and a YouTube video were created.

media

The term and the topic is mainly present in the media world, for example an article about "mantle rupture" in the workplace was published in the British newspaper The Guardian and an article entitled Hillary Clinton Will Not Be Manterrupted in the English-language daily newspaper The New York Times (English for "Hillary Clinton is not interrupted") published. In the German-speaking countries, the topic was mainly taken up in the Austrian press, among others the Austrian medium ORF , the daily newspaper Kurier , Die Zeit and Der Standard reported on manterruption.

criticism

The term has been criticized as sexist because of its stereotyping of the male gender . Furthermore, due to the lack of facts, it is accused that the mantle eruption is an insignificant accusation against men.
