"The problem is not that I don't understand the global banking system. The problem for these guys is that I fully understand the system and I understand how they make their money," Warren said in response in an interview with The Huffington Post reported on Friday. "And that's what they don't like about me."Warren has found herself in the crosshairs of the banking industry thanks to her work helping to craft the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and railing against the amount of influence Wall Street has in the halls of Congress.
In December, for example, Warren gave a searing speech bashing CitiGroup's connections to Congress and attacking a provision that rolled back parts of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law.
"You know, there is a lot of talk lately about how Dodd-Frank isn't perfect. There is a lot of talk coming from CitiGroup about how Dodd-Frank isn't perfect," Warren said in that speech. "So let me say this to anyone listening at Citi I agree with you. Dodd-Frank isn't perfect. It should have broken you into pieces."

(135,425 posts)When big strong men tell the scatterbrained little women how things work, that's "mansplaining."
It is a way to describe, in a single word, a dismissive, contemptuous, and patronizing attitude.

(135,425 posts)If a male in a position of authority is trying to make a woman without power feel inadequate by talking down to her, that is the definition of the term. It encompasses a lot of aspects/dynamics in one compact word.

(31,849 posts)she did shred his "mansplaining", so much as his "bankersplaining."
I doubt Dimoa's response would have been different if he had been responding to a male.

(29,322 posts)JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon says he considers himself barely a Democrat at this point.
I would call myself a barely Democrat, at this point. I didn't support anyone last time around: I'm on the New York Fed Board; I'm not allowed to. But I am a Democrat, yes, Dimon said in an interview aired Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press.
Anti-business behavior by some Democrats has disturbed him, Dimon said.
Ive gotten disturbed at some of the Democrats anti-business behavior, the attacks on work ethic and successful people, Dimon said. 'I think its very counterproductive.
