Mansplaining is explaining something to a woman, as a man, in a condescending or patronizing manner, in a subject in which she ought to know about. For instance, if some layman dinosaur fan tried to explain to a woman with a PhD in paleontology how raptors totally didn't all have feathers (they did), the assumption being the man thinks he knows more than the woman simply because he's a man. Or if a man says "women don't get sexually harassed, stop whining" to a woman who was just in the middle of talking about her experience with being sexually harassed. When you know. She obviously has more experience living as a woman.


Having a credential in something does not make you infallible. Somebody with a PhD in paleontology can make mistakes, while arguments should be evaluated on the basis of their merits rather than on the basis of who made them.

I see the term being flung around carelessly all the time in order to dismiss the arguments of men. The most recent example I can think of is how it is used politically to dismiss any male politician who argues with a female politician. For example, people accused Republicans of "mansplaining" to Kamala Harris. Regardless of your or my political views, this is a circumstance in which theoretically the two sides stand on arguably equal levels in terms of credentials. However, one side is having their arguments dismissed on the basis of their gender.

The term is dangerous because it can be used any time any man argues with any woman to dismiss the arguments of the man. The idea of attaching gender to condescension makes little sense to me. A woman could easily be in the circumstance of speaking in a condescending way to somebody, male or female, that they disagree with as well. The term is stupid because it is an attempt to dismiss an argument on the basis of the gender of who is saying it. As there is no opposite equivalent (nor should there be) it is even dumber; the use of the term assumes that only men can act in a condescending and patronizing way which is not befitting of their knowledge.

I won't claim to be an expert in gender studies or anything. I just know that the reason mansplaining is even a term is that its said men condescend to women a hell of a lot more than the other way around. And, damn, looking around online, it certainly seems damn ****ing true.

In the case with Harris, what exactly was it said the politician was mansplaining to her about. Was it to do with female reproductive rights? Or female pay? Or something like that? If not, it was definitely an incorrect use, and I agree with you. It just does feel like there's an epidemic of holier-than-thou false intellectual men trying to tell women "how it really is", always has, and after I learned about that term, I thought it was great there was a way to explain it now.

People got mad that Republican senators interrupted her while she was firing off questions at Jeff Sessions and others without giving them any time to answer. The Republicans were asking her to allow the people being questioned to answer. I think it was about Russia. It happened awhile back.

There were also incidents in which various Senators were accused of mansplaining to Elizabeth Warren.

I've also seen the term used all the time on Facebook, etc. to attack points of view by men and defend points of view by women. It's not usually used "wrongly" by those critical of the term, but by those employing it.

I still honestly think that the term is stupid, and that anybody is easily capable of being patronizing to either sex.

I need Rance to keep mansplaining. It's the only way I, as a man, can understand anything.
