The difference here is that by turning on the gps you inadvertently ask for the explanation, whereas you don't ask for mansplaining.

I'm gonna ask a serious question here: how is being condescending a gendered thing?

[–]Jhesus_Monkey 27 ポイント28 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Is isn't. Condescension is not a gendered behavior. Anyone can be condescending. The reason the term "mansplaining" exists at all, is that it is a gendered behavior.

Mansplaining most frequently happens when a man is explaining fairly basic concepts to a woman who is an expert in that field. It's a man telling a computer science professor to "just learn Java and she will love it."

Women do this too

as a woman i find this condescending.

Unpossible. Next you'll claim that women can rape and persons of color can be racist.

Often women are assumed to be wrong or ignorant by default, something that happens less frequently with men. Though it might happen more often to effeminate men since they're assumed to be lower in the social gender hierarchy

mansplaining is condescending with privilege as the motivation.

[–]Catbrainsloveart 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (7子コメント)

It's not about being condescending. It's about men assuming they know more than you.

I'm not a huge fan of the word "mansplaining", as this is something that both genders can do, but in my personal experience it's way more male-sided.

Typical subjects include mechanics, engineering, electronics, IT. In my experience, typical topics that "girls wouldn't know anything about".

I work in IT, and I frequently have (male) customers who try to explain to me how computers work and how to do my job. My mom deals with the same problem, she works in electronics.

Idk if we should have the term "mansplaining"...mainly because it stereotypes all men into this action. I don't think it's a gender thing but more so a jerk thing to explain to someone something they obviously know already.

I've seen both genders do this to people, actually. I also know plenty of men who do explain unnecessary things to everyone (gender not being a factor) and then I know guys who just don't do this at all. Everyone is different and it's not fair to have labels like this because it puts an entire group into a box. Gender equality isn't going to completely happen if we see things in such black and white terms. We all have to team up and support and love each other.

You're right, of course, but I can't help laughing at how hard this sub is downvoting any mention of "womansplaining" while unironically talking about "mansplaining".

For humor purposes, we should keep the word around. It's really hard to find such automatic, blatant, and funny hypocrisy in this world, we should cherish it when we find it.

I actually don't understand the point you're trying to make.

Are you saying it's hypocritical of people here to dismiss the word womansplaining while holding up the word mansplaining?

[–]ElizzaDoAlot -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I wonder why men don't get as bent out of shape when someone says manhandled, which is equally as negative as mansplaining.
