    Saying they’re mansplaining is sexist.

    Then so is saying they’re being misogynistic. Simple as.

    I’ve asked you repeatedly to square up the difference, but you just keep dodging.

    I could, and you could have linked the comment. What’s your point?

    My point was obviously that you shouldn’t have needed a link or screenshot in the first place.

    You still dodged the question

    No I didn’t.

    why do you think a specifically sexist term from it’s very inception isn’t sexist

    I don’t think that.

      Correct though misogynistic isn’t explicitly derogatory while mansplaining always is.

      I’ve explained it in multiple and just above as well.

      And my point is you didn’t answer the question in your linked comment either.

      Yes you did.

      So saying someone is mansplaining is sexist in the same way femsplaining is, they’re sex specific derogatory terms for things that need not be gendered.

        Correct

        Correct about what, exactly? This?

        Then so is saying they’re being misogynistic. Simple as.

        Because if so, then you’ve contradicted yourself.

        misogynistic isn’t explicitly derogatory while mansplaining always is

        So what? Plenty of derogatory words exist, that doesn’t mean using them inherently makes you a bigot/sexist/misandrist.

        And my point is you didn’t answer the question in your linked comment either.

        Yes I did. I even screenshotted it, and linked you to it, but for some reason you’re incapable of taking it in. Very odd indeed.

        sex specific derogatory terms for things that need not be gendered.

        If it wasn’t gendered, then it wouldn’t be misogynistic and therefore wouldn’t be mansplaining. It’s a specific form of misogyny, which is gendered.

        Also, what’s femsplaining?

          That particular statement, I didn’t think I’d need to explain direct responses.

          Not at all, they can be misogynistic and you can misandrist, they aren’t mutually exclusive.

          When it’s a sexist term you’re going to be assigned to be sexist just like I’m not stopping to ask the person dropping hard r’s if they think they’re racist. I don’t need to their actions say that much.

          You didn’t. You tried to explain how it isn’t sexist when it is.

          Correct, and then it also wouldn’t be a sexist slur. So femsplaining = not sexist? Uh huh, can’t wait to hear you explain that one away.

          https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=femsplaining

          The mras response to clearly sexist slurs which is go figure, a clearly sexist slur. Who would have guessed?

            When it’s a sexist term

            By your definition, misogyny is a sexist term. Maybe that’s what you’re missing in all of this.

              It is, it’s just not a derogatory term. It can be used with the right context to be an insult but “mansplaining” or “femsplaining” are always derogatory just as they were intended to be.

                Just so we’re clear, you believe that using the term “misogyny” is discriminatory or abusive behavior towards members of the opposite sex?

                  It’s by definition discriminatory because it’s a statement of discrimination no one said anything about it being abusive. It’s not just not necessarily derogatory whereas mansplaining always is.

                  What even is your argument at this point because at the moment you’re hedging more and more every statement.
