Mansplaining isn't a law to punish stupid men, it's a tool to give women to power to say "No. You shut up now" when men are railroading them.

I'd go broader than that even. Id say it's a tool to empower women to speak in any circumstance.

well if a person just says "no you shut up now" when someone starts saying things they don't agree with because they're a dude, that person is a self centered brat.

Man like. Do you even live in the world? You really think there's no time when someone is out there saying stuff that's stupid or worthless or hostile or ignorant or just dumb? No one ever needs to tell anyone to shut up in your world? This is just one mode of doing that along the lines of gender.

NAYRT

Your problem seems to be that you are assuming everything a man would have to say would be stupid or worthless or hostile or ignorant or dumb.

I think there's probably some miscommunication here because what I mean is that this is a way of shutting people down specific to dudes, not that you should deploy it whenever a dude says anything. Like anon said, it's a tool.

Okay way to miss my point. Yes some things people say are just dumb and not worth anything. But when people just use "mansplaining" as a "shut up button" to whoever is saying a thing they don't like then that person has a problem.

And yes people do use it that way. Any person can be wrong about things. If you have the attitude of "I can't be wrong, because you're a man and I'm a woman, so shut up" they have a lot of growing up to do.

Maybe that exists. I don't think that's what anon you were replying to was saying but w/e

Okay but why are you saying this when AYRT never said anything contradictory to it?

I'm trying to illustrate that there is no wrong place to use the term. It's not a law with strictly defined boundaries, it's a linguistic tool used to make an opening anywhere one will fit.
