a country that is not named burma, regardless of what some nations say. myanmar was originally burma, a once proud kingdom that fell to the british and was a colony til the wwii era. it experimented with democracy, but american actions in vietnam drove this country toward communism in the 1970s, which evolved in the 1990s into a corporatist military junta. myanmar is a very efficient military state that has fended off countless coups. however, it is one of the world's 2 'secret societies,' along with north korea. foreigners are rarely admitted and no one really knows the power structure of the gov't.
myanmar is the focus of u2's famous song 'walk on,' which references political prisoner aung san suu kyi, a democracy activist.
Like mansplaining. When a man summarizes what a woman has just said in a way that asserts his perceived superiority.
Judy: peanut butter should really go on both slices of bread so the jelly doesn't soak in.
John: yes, peanut butter in a sandwich really needs to be on both pieces of bread. Otherwise the jelly will soak the bread.
Judy: John, you just manmarized what i said. That really took away some of my influence in this conversation.
Jerry: wow John. That was really disrespectful.
