I got confused. I kept thinking "manscaping" each time i read "mansplaining." Wondered what all the fuss was about.

It isn't wrong that way. I use my pair of smooth criminal to silence women constantly. Hard to talk when they are laughing.

Being a condescending prick isn't gender exclusive.
demosthenes89
No, but the whole point of mansplaining is pointing out instances when it is related to gender.

I used to admire Persson. >:-(

No. He is presenting his opinion about mansplaining. Trying to prevent it by calling it mansplaning would actually show his opinion right.

Mansplaining is not sexist. Men correct everyone... other men, children, and women alike.

Personal experience, if someone says you're "mansplaining", then they are too wrapped up in gender bullshit to just call you condescending..
Bwentos
Why don't we just say, that a man was condescendingly explaining something? Everyone can be condescending.
Thereisnosafeword
Because then SJWs would have one less thing to bitch about / be oppressed by.

Its like how the inuit have 10 words for snow, we unfortunately need 10 different ways to precisley explain how someones being an ass

Man/Woman-splaining is specifically talking about when they're condescending cause the other person is the opposite gender

Manpologies: men apologizing to women to in an effort to guilt them into doing something (probably nefarious).
dinosaurakadinosaur
is everyone retarded already?
Beleg7
No, accusing someone of sexism isn't sexism. And due to western history, men have access to subtle forms of sexism that women don't.
51CorgisInABar
Like?
Beleg7
Like assuming a position of authority over a women based exclusively on gender. ie: mansplaining.
51CorgisInABar
That seems available to both genders to me
Beleg7
Sure, anyone can attempt anything. But there is a general unconscious assumption that men who do it are being assertive, displaying...
Beleg7
...leadership, etc. It is rarely recocognized as such when men do it, because it is culturally expected. Women have the opposite situation.

Can you give more examples of his tweets? (I don't use Twitter and don't even know where and when I would be looking for it.)
demosthenes89
As a female, the fact that you guys don't believe in mansplaining is very eye opening, and not in a good way.
Zahnradfee
That's the nature of it. *sigh* They can simply ignore all research and amassed experience. I had a similar thing yesterday. >

I agree.

both Notch and Ricky Gervais need to pick their social media battles better

I'd say that was a pretty good battle to be in. Saw the whole thing unfold. It was beautiful to see people bitch about how right he is.

Notch has kinda gotten very far into certain weird places since he left the public eye now that he has no reason to care.
KrisTheKrisp
What sort of weird places O.O
FwdSlashRoot
I haven't been able to find the tweet but I heard from friend he advocated fucking your life up with hard drugs because it's your body.

It sounds like perhaps you misunderstood what he meant. Advocating the right to do that, and advocating ACTUALLY doing that are different.

51CorgisInABar
Presumably, when a male human corrects someone on something they were wrong about and does it in a way the other person dislikes.
51CorgisInABar
Otherwise known as being condescending.
demosthenes89
No, it's when a man is condescending to a woman because he assumes that as a female she doesn't understand.
demosthenes89
For example: guy tries to explain to me something about driving a manual, assumes I can't drive stick because I'm female.
TheDudeOrHisDudeness
so by this logic, when a woman assumed I (as a man) don't know how to cook and tried to explain sth basic... that would be femsplaining?
Zahnradfee
Exactly. ... https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/womens-blog/2016/sep/13/mansplaining-how-not-talk-female-nasa-astronauts

As a female I promise you I am condescended to by men 100% more than by women.

9/10 times women approach me as a peer, and equal until proven otherwise. Men are way more likely to talk to me like a child.

Yes, women can be assholes too, but you can't just pretend that sexism doesn't exist.

SgtChowdown
man/womansplaining is when someone is being a condescending ass because the person they're talking to is the opposite gender
SgtChowdown
it's not "whenever a man/womans says a thing!!" it requires 1. condescension and 2. sexist reasoning
JoeVandergraff
The problem with this, is condescension is subjective. You can be explaining something to someone and they can decide its condescension even
JoeVandergraff
If you're not trying to be condescending yourself.
codenamenothing
What the fuck is mansplaining?
katieisawizard
Talking over or talking in a belittling way. Often men do this to women, hence mansplaining. https://youtu.be/t7GUjKv9qSI
SgtChowdown
when dudes explain something to someone of the opposite sex as though they're a moron with the implication it's cause they're a woman
bluedude152
Its a trend of men explaining basic concepts to women as if they dont already know. There are some terrrrrible examples
Zahnradfee
Not a trend. This was even worse in the past, I guess.
SgtChowdown
this is the converse of womansplaining, which is when a woman does the same to a dude with the implication it's cause he's a dude
NOINOON
Gender based condescendence works both ways. AKA no shit sherlock?

Basically, it translates into "the person who just said me is a sub-sapient defect and you should pay them no attention."

It would be ironic if mansplaning was actually a thing.

Men explaining things they don't understand to women is a measurable, widespread phenomenon. If you don't see it you're not looking.
sirbenedictjbreen
People explaining things they don't understand to other people is a widespread phenomenon. Sex has nothing to do with it you twat.

In other words, any attempt to refute mansplaning would itself be mansplaning. Well that's convenient.
baronridiculous
Mansplaining is a measurable thing. To refute it, do a study and show there's no measurable difference in interruption rate. Good luck.
