re: What is Mansplaining? I'm confused

Idk what OP is looking for with this chick but let me spit some wisdom to all you young homies.

You need to find a girl that has a story very similar to that and instead of telling you how she was intellectually violated she needs to say she spit in the guys drink while he went to the bathroom, because that’s as close to swapping spit as he was gonna get. And because she thought it was funny.

My wife has a story like that and she’s the best person I know.

Sounds like she likes her opinion on the world, but not anyone else's, especially a man's opinion (Bernie Sanders, notwithstanding)

My advice, not because she leans liberal, is to stay FAR away from the likes of the overly opinionated. Every one forced to be around opinionated people are miserable. This is fact.

What is Mansplaining?

That's what they call it when a dude shaves his pubes.

Here's a woman using it IRL

Mansplaining Senator

She sounds like a fricking idiot.

Being right and getting bitched at for it

I think most people just use it to describe neckbeards that talk over women.

Now, on the rare account that it is politically charged, the interesting thing about "mansplaining" is that it is almost always directed at liberal men by liberal women. Lots of the most politically opinionated women (really only talking academia here - as always in the culture wars, real people need not apply) have a deep, deep distrust of men sharing their same opinions. Have they encountered a bunch of guys that play along to get that nut? Do they so fervently believe in an unassailable male privilege that no man could understand marginalized classes on any objective level? We may never know.

In a way, the "Broggressive" - straight, white, smokes a lot of pot, majored in Philosophy but will probably go to law school - is the mortal enemy of a dyed in the wool leftist (I'm talking anarchist/tankie/Trotskyist) woman. This guy will co-opt and repeat her talking points on oppression while unironically wearing a Brooks Brothers polo and $200 shoes. He will demonstrate traditional markers of success in his life and is therefore likely to demand it of the movement. This is in direct opposition to the modern LGBT, BLM, homeless, and third wave feminist movements. Since the world will gravitate to him, he must be shut down. Hence, mansplaining becomes the go-to reason for shutting down debate on hundreds and hundreds of tumblrs and blogspots the world over.
