Fide Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Splaining - a valuable tool for minorities to highlight incidents when they're lectured or annoying as f**k and massively overused statement du jour? Discuss, P&B, discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieThomas Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 The "annoying as f**k" one. This is why we've got fascists all over the shop now, too many milksops worrying about hurt feelings when they should be out on the streets kicking Tories to death.

DutchBorderer Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I once told a female classmate from the Czech Republic that she was mansplaining to me (the definition holds that mansplaining is not necessarily done by men). Nutter was trying to get me to write out a full script of what I was gonna say in our joint presentation, never seen someone so angry yet so defeated. Sure, no one from that class talked to me the rest of the semester, but it was worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 http://www.dictionary.com/browse/splain Quote -splain 1. a combining form extracted from mansplain, and meaning “to explain or comment on something in a condescending, overconfident, and often inaccurate or oversimplified manner, from the perspective of the group one identifies with,” Sounds like most of my posts.

Nah that's definitely the fault of liberals who make giving fascists a platform to spout their nonsense their number one priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stubbs Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 The badge wearing Left have completely jumped the shark in the last five years or so. The caveman in me feels like going full Breitbart when I read or hear these absolute fuds going on about their victim status constantly. Obviously when you're not a total manchild you can still see the wider context and appreciate that these folk are an irritating lesser evil and not a reason to become a seething sexist. Nevertheless, the world would be a much better, more tolerant place without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I feel as though mansplaining is an actual thing, but much like all of these terms, it has been overused to the point where it loses all meaning. There definitely are men out there who actually patronise women more than they do other men, but a massive chunk of the instances are just women (or men) bringing up "mansplaining" as soon as a man disagrees with a woman. For example, you often see left-leaning women on social media mention mansplaining every time a man disagrees with them, even though the same man will also be simultaneously disagreeing with men on the same or similar topics. I'd consider myself very much left of centre in my politics, but it infuriates me that a lot of left-wing activists direct their efforts at the wrong people. It's a boy cried wolf scenario - if you complain about something too much then you end up diluting your point. For example, you see a lot of ire directed at well-meaning people for using an incorrect piece of terminology with no malice, when that should really be aimed at the actual baddies in the world who are actually posing a direct threat to what they believe in.

Ad Lib Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 The problem with the word mansplaining is it's not very original, is overused and isn't very inventive. I always preferred the (tongue firmly in cheek) alternative from one of my friends at University. She said to another mate, mid-conversation "don't mantronise me". Still chuckle at that.
