'Mansplaining'

[teachercd]

Everyone has experienced it.  EVERYONE.

I agree, it is not a difficult concept.

You've never experienced someone talking down to you because you're a woman, so stop.

"But what about"

Nope. Discernment matters.

You've never experienced someone talking down to you because you're a woman, so stop.

But, I have experienced it because I am a man.  

Just like you literally just did to me.  But I will not do it to you.

No, you haven't. No, I didn't. And stop trolling.

The efforts some will put into preserving their world.

It's no surprise a topic like this gets them real triggered.

This is not trolling.  I am saying that everyone has been talked down to before. everyone.  To pretend like it is just a gender thing is crazy.  It is just a human thing.

And I have experienced it because of my gender, you telling me I haven't, well...you see the irony, right?

I agree that you've been talked down to. I disagree that you've been talked down to by a man because you're a woman, which is what mansplaining is. Unless I'm mistaken about your gender.

You are a White Male.... Your feelings don't matter....

Men are the real victims.

Being a little dramatic don't you think?

The title of this topic aside, why does it matter 'why' you're being talked down too?

Because the 'why' of things is important. Context matters as does intent.

So under what circumstances is talking down to someone (with reason) okay?

People should be talked down to when they're being a$$hole$. There are valid reasons for it to happen.

People should not be talked down to due to their gender.

Unless I'm misunderstanding the definition of "talking down to someone", I don't agree. I always thought "talking down" was done without just reason. So my understanding has always been that it's always "wrong" to do.

If I'm wrong on that, then I suppose I agree with you.
