i will never forgive the internet for what it did to the word “mansplain”

mansplaining is a very specific phenomonon wherein a man who is NOT qualified to talk about a topic assumed he knows better than other people who ARE qualified, purely because of sexism.

sharing a fun fact you learned isnt mansplaining. infodumping isnt mansplaining. adding your relevant personal experience to a discussion isn’t mansplaining, (as long as you remain respectful of others’ experiences as well, but that’s always true). correcting someone who is objectively wrong and spreading misinformation REALLY isn’t mansplaining.

stop telling men that all of their interests and attempts at socializing are insulting and unwanted, your gender essentialism is showing.

people in my REAL LIFE i have had to convince i like to hear them talk, really:

  • trans men talking about their oppression
  • trans women talking about their oppression
  • autistic men infodumping
  • perfectly kind cis men who are answering a question i literally asked, or getting passionate about one of their interests

people who AREN’T self-conscious about this:

  • men who actually fucking mansplain, oh my god the whole POINT is that they dont care about other people’s thoughts, why do you think whatever this fucking campaign is would bother them
