Why did you admit that he tfree32 got you?  That is actually big of you, most people here never admit that.

It was such a good insult I was powerless to resist.

I can understand that!  I have been on the receiving end of them as well.  Big of you to admit it!

Nobody has demanded anyone apologize, only (asked) them to open their eyes. Whatever justification is needed to keep them sealed shut, some will manufacture. Don't be one of them.

Great find!

How about misandry

 

By the way, in a world actually defined by its pervasive misandry, you're probably not reserving the question "but what about misandry" for when misogyny is being discussed.

Starting with this post and working the way down his remaining posts.. Why is this allowed to continue? It's certainly not contributing anything to the discussion of the topic.

 

This happens in almost every thread you post in for P&R teach, so it's not like it's randome banter that happens. It's deliberate, and it seems like you're trying to poke people and get a rise out of them.

I was wondering why that poster admitted that they were "gotten", it almost never happens.  Usually it just goes back and forth over and over.  Shoot sometimes posters will actually show stats or video evidence of things and people still say they don't agree.

Yep... that's what I just said...

I've said probably more than 10 times in this topic that it's often misused and that's one of the major problems with it.

In your scenario, the woman thinks she has a clue but after talking to her about it, the man realizes she doesn't and explains it. That isn't "mansplaining." He's not explaining because he thinks she's ignorant due to her being female. He's explaining because she's made him aware that she doesn't understand - by talking to her, or at the very least he disagrees with her understanding of it - because he talked to her.

People misuse words incorrectly all the time. This particular word has the potential to be used incorrectly a lot. But that doesn't make any of the scenarios you've presented examples of what the word means. None of them have been what the word refers to.

Just curious, is it mansplaining to point out what horrible grammar this is.  One either misuses words or uses words incorrectly.  One does not misuse words incorrectly.

Why would it be mansplaining? You read something I said and corrected it. You didn't walk up to a woman and explain grammar to her out of the blue because she's a woman.
