Topic	Do you think the term "Mansplaining" is sexist
Pogo_Marimo 04/09/17 2:18:57 PM #14:	It's a sexist-driven term because there is already a word for explaining the phenomena without attaching needless and unfounded gender implications to it i.e. condescending. You can even say "condescending and sexist" if sexism is overtly present. By coining a separate phrase all you are doing is institutionalizing a victim complex based on presumptuous and denigrative generalizations about male behavior. It's like calling it "black chatting" when a black person talks in a theater. If that sounds wildly accusative and offensive, it's probably because it is. --- // BEAUTY IS NOT LOVE - LOVE IS NOT MUSIC - MUSIC IS THE BEST - WISDOM IS THE DOMAIN OF THE WIZ--WHICH IS EXTINCT // http://www.last.fm/user/Pogo92 <cite>Pogo_Marimo posted [p:876858077] in Do you thi...
