I have been asked to stop using the word MANSPLAINING.
It probably is time to be more politically correct.
In the future I will be using the clinical diagnosis CORRECTILE DYSFUNCTION.
You’re welcome.

@JillianMHurley Can't see I've seen much in the way of "womansplaining", per se, except in one area: childcare. DEFINITELY some "mom-splaining" going on. Guess it's the stereotype of the bumbling, stupid dad that's been far too prevalent in pop culture the past 20 years, but when you have a man--no woman around--out in public with his kids, keeping track of them, feeding them, changing diapers, etc., it's startling to think some strange woman will come up and either start trying to help or explain to the man what to do.
One reddit story (AITA) had a man lash out at a woman at a store who was about to take over changing the diaper and touching the kid... in the middle of the first wave of the freaking pandemic! I would've responded the same damned way he did and applauded him had I been there... what is it about strangers thinking it's okay to touch someone else's babies? Guess they're the same type who think it's okay to touch some pregnant woman's belly and start talking to the bump. Probably one of a thousand reasons why I'd never wanna get preggers. I'd be inclined to punch them in the face if they tried.
Sorry, went off tangent--VERY sore spot with me.
