It is just a conversation as he says, but let’s not beat around the bush, it is purely sexism.
Not so long ago, someone in our local Facebook group had someone elses parcel.
I wrote “Have you had a look to find the address and pop it round? This is what I do when I get someone elses parcel”.
The first response from the poster was “Yeah, no thank you for the mansplaining please”.
I feel I would have been banned from the group if the roles were reversed and I responded to a woman with “I don’t need advice from a woman”.
And he’d be correct. It’s usually used in an attempt to shut down male opinions when operating under the arrogant assumption that a man couldn’t possibly know more about something than a woman does.
Am I going to have to mansplain to him what mansplaining is?
He’s got the definition of mansplaining wrong but I don’t think I’ve seen anyone use the word correctly for years (‘gaslight’ has fast gone the same way) so it does feel pretty pointless now.
I personally find a lot of women use the word when a man explains anything, condescending or not. The term is so overused.
I’ve even been told I’m mansplaining when I’ve literally been asked to explain something.
The usual woke nonsense, blaming every one of the worlds woes on the straight white male.
I find a lot of women misunderstand the term “mansplaining”.
I often have to describe what it means to them in great detail.
Not sure if this is related but I have noticed that some women really hate any form of help from a man, they seem to assume they’re being treated different. What they don’t realise is that most men help each other out all the time, give each other a hand up, hold a ladder, help lifting something heavy. I’ve been in the fire service and it was certainly true there.
Terms like this often have a place but, given how stupid the average person is, when they’re taken up en masse they’re rarely actually used when it’s warranted.
Mansplaining is a stupid term, I prefer the term “guys who talk down to people”. Those people certainly exist, I’ve know some guys who talk down to people, especially women, because they think they are better than them.
But I’ve also known plenty of women who talk down to men in the exact same way. I don’t understand why some people decide to gender it by calling it “mansplaining”. That’s just daft, people of any and all genders can be arrogant know it alls who see themselves as above other people.
