Isn’t mansplaining more of a general term these days? I hear both men and women mansplain regularly
I found mansplain on Merriam Webster, and also on Wikipedia. The Merriam Webster article says “of a man,” and the wikipedia article says “for a man” at the start.
Usually for these things I’d be all for abolishing the gendered nature of the word, but I feel like it would dilute the original meaning. So if anything, instead of gender-normalizing ‘mansplain,’ I think we need to add ‘womansplain,’ which is something I’m very guilty of doing to my partner whenever he’s cooking because I keep forgetting that it’s something he does very well.
But also, my reply still has merit here, because that individual was obviously weaponizing ‘mansplain’ to try and gender me, a woman, when what they likely wanted to convey was that they found me condescending. They shouldn’t be appropriating a gendered word to say something else they mean, so… uh. Sorry for all the extra words. I took my ADHD medication today and language discussion fascinates me.
Great for you. But what its definition is and how it is used obviously differs, as you as a woman is mansplaining mansplaining 😄
I do find you incredibly condescending. I do not believe that has anything to do with your gender, however you are being very condescending.
Also I use mansplain regardless of gender. A lot of people do. I don’t know why this offends you. It sounds like you’re looking for something to be offended by (see, THAT is a condescending tone. See how that sounds? That’s what you do.)
lmao
