<\/a>By Bethany \u201cBST2\u201d Armstrong<\/strong><\/p>\nGoogle\u2019s Dictionary says mansplaining (\/\u02c8man\u02ccspl\u0101niNG\/ ) is \u201cthe explanation of something by a man, typically to a woman, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing.\u201d \u2013 I\u2019d remove \u201cregard as\u201d because it\u2019s straight up patronizing.<\/p>\n
Merriam-Webster explains \u201cMansplaining is, at its core, a very specific thing. It’s what occurs when a man talks condescendingly to someone (especially a woman) about something he has incomplete knowledge of, with the mistaken assumption that he knows more about it than the person he’s talking to does.\u201d \u2013 I\u2019d add \u201cor the assumption she\/he\/they give a fuck about his tiny penis energy opinions\u201d<\/p>\n
The Urban Dictionary version comes close with: \u201cWhen a man explains something to a woman in a patronizing tone as if the woman is too emotional and illogical to understand.\u201d. \u2013 I\u2019d add \u201cIf he cannot dominate her with his dinky winky and he tries instead to subdue her with his minuscule wit\u201d
\nI would call it \u201ccovert bullying under the guise of helpfulness\u201d or \u201cI\u2019m scared that I may not be as good as you mentality\u201d. It could also be called \u201clook at me! I\u2019m an intellectual!\u201d It should never be called \u201cfunny\u201d or \u201csmart.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mansplaining pits him vs. her and him vs. them. It encourages men to look for the flaws in women and other gendered individuals, however minute they may be, and not the bigger picture.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s the shit of bullying, whether it be racists, misogynists, or Karens, it\u2019s a learned behavior, a reinforced behavior. Everyone snapping at each other like dogs over the bone of their souls, not realizing it was just a chewtoy, a distraction from the thing they should be mauling., what is REALLY hurting. Mommy issues, Daddy issues, poverty issues, go to fucking therapy and sort it out. Bullies straight up suck but mansplainers in particular piss me off. Probably because I\u2019m smacked in the face with their insecurities\u2026<\/p>\n
If your sentence starts with: \u201cwell actually\u2026.\u201d \u201cNot ALL\u2026.\u201d \u201cEveryone knows\u2026\u201d you\u2019re mansplaining and you need to shut your insecure infant ass the fuck up. Whether you are accurate or not doesn\u2019t matter, you\u2019re a feedback fascist. Your social IQ is so fucking low, your pseudo-intellectualism is repellant. No one with any self-respect is going to give you a blowy or any real validation. Sort yourself out mansplainers.<\/p>\n
Well actually\u2026 (see what I did there?) I\u2019m going to do the sorting. This has been a documented issue in America for well over a century, you guys have had plenty of time to figure it out.<\/p>\n
First to take some baseline data, a short quiz. Answer honestly.<\/p>\n
What is the best response to this statement? \u201cWe need to hold men accountable for child support.\u201d<\/p>\n
Is it:<\/p>\n
A: Not all men fail to pay child support.
\nB. Well I take care of my kids\u2026
\nC. There are women that fail to pay child support too!
\nD. I agree or keep silent. I don\u2019t always have to have my opinion known and validated at the expense of others.
\nIf you didn\u2019t answer D, go fuck yourself. Next question.
\nIf a female expert on a topic gives a fact you don\u2019t agree with, do you:
\nA. Argue\u2026. vehemently.
\nB. Criticize any flaw in logic or invent a flaw if necessary.
\nC. Mock her directly. Find any imperfection or mistake ever made by her and put it on blast.
\nD. Ask for clarification on the points you don\u2019t understand. Admit, at least to yourself, that you are not the expert and take the opportunity to learn from someone superior in that particular subject while realizing not being a master of every topic does not make you weak or invalid.<\/p>\n
If you didn\u2019t answer D\u2026 Jesus what is wrong with you?<\/p>\n
Enough questions. Take a deep breath. The next time you see a woman make an error, think about how you want to be perceived. A covert bully? A misogynist? A know-it-all? A rude piece of human feces? I hope you\u2019d rather be an ally to the women in your life rather than participating in something that brings them down. A gentleman in the truest sense\u2026 If that is you, if you answered D or now want to, then call out yourself and your friends with a \u201cnot cool bro\u201d or whatever and let\u2019s end this bullshit.<\/p>\n
