  • I mean, even if you think you know them, that's still an assumption.

    But let's grant you that, because congratulations, you've answered your own question! That's exactly how you can use the term "mansplaining" without being a bigot. By knowing that that's what they are doing.

  • I get how condescending to someone because they are a woman is bigoted

    Right, but you've also claimed it's impossible to believe that's happening without being a bigot.

    Your logic concludes that any women who thinks a man is being misogynistically condescending to them is a bigot.

  • Them:

    Definition of "Mansplaining"

    You:

    Isn’t that misandry to assume the man is a sexist

    That explanation requires prior knowledge or post hoc knowledge

    They didn't make any assumptions, nor did they explain anything that "requires prior knowledge" -- because they gave a definition of a term, not a scenario. Your questioning only makes sense if they were talking about a scenario. It makes no sense as a follow up to a definition.

    Anyways, that's just meta noise.

    Correct, both are based on assumptions that are as offensive as the assumption that they’re mansplaining or a dei hire or whatever.

    My point is that you can’t use either without yourself being bigoted enough to come to a conclusion based on bigoted assumptions so how are they substantially different?

    You're free to call women bigoted for how they feel about their lived experience regarding condescension from men. Just as I'm free to judge that as incel behaviour.

  • Yeah and I'm asking them to use their definition in comparison

    To be clear, no you weren't. Hence the confusion.

    But since you've clarified: obviously using any term to unfairly accuse someone of being or doing something is a bad thing. Is that a real question?
