Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s easy ride to 24 Sussex hit a rough patch after he was accused of breaking a cardinal rule of social media law: Thou shall not “mansplain.”

Trudeau has come under satiric fire prior to a Thursday night’s “Justin Unplugged” event. The Liberal leader is asking for $250 from the “ladies” to “really get to know the future prime minister” over cocktails at an exclusive Toronto club.

The Andy Warhol-inspired event poster features pictures the floppy-haired Liberal delivering his best smouldering gaze, surrounded by questions in a fanciful font: “What is the biggest issue facing women?”, “What’s your favourite virtue?” and “Who are your real life heroes?”

The poster is tagged “What would you ask Justin,” with a suggested hashtag: #askjustin.

The online reaction was less than kind for the son of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau, who was accused of “mansplaining” –a term used to describe a man condescendingly explaining something the (female) listener already knows. (Think every co-ed softball game ever.)

“The only thing missing from this creepy, patronizing and unbelievably ridiculous picture are scented pages and locks of Trudeau’s hair as door prizes,” wrote lawyer and columnist Kathyrn Marshall on her blog.
