"mansplaining" can be applied to both genders

2019-04-16 05:06:36 UTC  

I mean, from my perspective, I suppose.

2019-04-16 05:07:00 UTC  

not just man

2019-04-16 05:07:15 UTC  

Again it isn't the same thing

2019-04-16 05:07:28 UTC  

By definition, “mansplaining” only applies to men, Alexandre.

2019-04-16 05:07:36 UTC  

yeah ik

2019-04-16 05:07:49 UTC  

but why does it have man in it

2019-04-16 05:07:50 UTC  

It’s in the term “man” which then has “splaining” tacked onto it.

2019-04-16 05:08:00 UTC  

If you are saying both women and men can explain to each other well duh yeah

2019-04-16 05:09:23 UTC  

is there a word that only applies to women

2019-04-16 05:09:34 UTC  

that has the same definition as mansplaining

2019-04-16 05:09:40 UTC  

Hmm nope

2019-04-16 05:10:24 UTC  

so its only directed to men

2019-04-16 05:10:38 UTC  

and they are the only gender that talks over a women

2019-04-16 05:11:37 UTC  

I don’t agree with the concept of “mansplaining” due to how easily it can be applied to any situation. “Mansplaining” inherently assumes a man’s intentions as being negative or sexist. That leads to the issue of potentially demonizing men. The most ironic case is when a man talks down to a woman, and then another man comes to the woman’s defense. The defending man has good intentions, but since he is talking for the woman and “mansplaining” to protect her, he is therefore somehow also bad, even if he knows he has more experience dealing with the aggressor and knows how to talk to him. Things like that are my issue with the concept.

2019-04-16 05:11:45 UTC  

Jesus, I made that long

2019-04-16 05:12:12 UTC  

lol

2019-04-16 05:12:15 UTC  

I agree

2019-04-16 05:12:35 UTC  

Just don't explain for women

2019-04-16 05:12:37 UTC  

Problem solved

2019-04-16 05:12:54 UTC  

yeah but women also explain over men

2019-04-16 05:13:23 UTC  

Smh

2019-04-16 05:13:26 UTC  

and feminists are only directing it to men

2019-04-16 05:13:33 UTC  

Because that is what men do

2019-04-16 05:13:38 UTC  

Kek

2019-04-16 05:13:41 UTC  

wtf

2019-04-16 05:13:47 UTC  

so every men does that

2019-04-16 05:13:50 UTC  

and no women

2019-04-16 05:14:04 UTC  

Looking down at the other sex or simply dismissive due to the fact of them being female

2019-04-16 05:14:11 UTC  

You just found the issue I have with this, Alexander, as proven by Soldz’ comment.

2019-04-16 05:14:24 UTC  

I'm just explaining the word <:hahAA:358306291070009345>

2019-04-16 05:14:31 UTC  

yeah

2019-04-16 05:14:40 UTC  

And you also demonized men in the process.

2019-04-16 05:14:52 UTC  

“Because that is what men do”

2019-04-16 05:15:02 UTC  

Which just proves my point.

2019-04-16 05:15:06 UTC  

Unfortunately.

2019-04-16 05:15:15 UTC  

so a woman can talk over men

2019-04-16 05:15:21 UTC  

but a man cant

2019-04-16 05:15:30 UTC  

talk over women

2019-04-16 05:15:34 UTC  

Honestly, sure, I don’t even have an issue with that.

2019-04-16 05:15:36 UTC  

That's not what I said
