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

Actually, correctile dysfunction pertains only to those instances in which a sense of inaccuracy drives the relevant behaviour. Mansplaining is a wider set of behaviour with various apparent motivations all often difficult to cohesively categorise.

@maegul @JillianMHurley that probably falls under the heading of "testiculating"

@JillianMHurley A new form of #mansplaining seems to be send a link to a video as a way of proving you are correct/ have superior knowledge.

When I said I wasn't going to watch the video and told him where to stick it, he said "I thought we were having a conversation."

No, a conversation is when both parties are interested in pursuing the subject.

@anne_twain Bonus when they send you a link to your own video/paper/book/etc. Have seen this happen a few times (not to me).
@TicklishHoneyBee @anne_twain Double-bonus points to the guy who sent a friend (a trans woman) links to several of her own pre-transition academic papers, with a snippy note at that "your brother is way smarter than you, pity brains don't run in your family." (paraphrased very slightly)
@anne_twain @JillianMHurley Alas, this is not new. :( Pests have been sending links to YT videos forever. I've taken to responding with "yt;dw" or "transcript or GTFO".

@resuna @anne_twain @JillianMHurley "yt;dw" is new to me. Does it mean "It's in #Youtube; didn't watch"?

I'm very tempted to use "#transcript of GTFO" on a relative that keeps sending me (on #Whatsapp) links to #evangelical cults and shows (I'm an #atheist, btw); she's on permanent mute. If she wants to explain how great is her god, she should explain in her own words.

@jcastroarnaud @anne_twain @JillianMHurley Yeh, just cut shorter than that. "YouTube; didn't watch".

@JillianMHurley

One of my favorite G-chat messages of all time was to my boss about two of my co-workers: "I'm sitting here listening to Grace gracesplain to Connor what mansplaining is and why she hates him so much for it."

@t3rrybowman @JillianMHurley Does this mean that all explaining could just have the explainer’s name prefix it and that is the equivalent of “mansplaining”? I had always thought that mansplaining had a broader definition. Or am I misinterpreting?
@MargaretThomson @JillianMHurley the point of the message was that it was high comedy listening to the two of the trying to talk over each other. I knew my boss would get a kick out of it. Connor was the worst mansplainer and know it all I ever met.
@JillianMHurley Don't allow their backpfiefengesicht reduce your vocabulary.

@dr2chase oh! Eyebeam! I could go down a nostalgic rabbit hole there! ☺️
@JillianMHurley and as in my case Incorrectile .. 🤔

@JillianMHurley that's not fully correct since you've to consider that...

Oh.. Never mind.

They should invent a blue pill for it.

@JillianMHurley akshually...this is quite funny. *takes notes*
@JillianMHurley arguably, is it a dysfunction or a mal(e)function?
@JillianMHurley we actually had people angrily unsubscribe from @show when we used the term mansplaining. It was no great loss.
@JillianMHurley I read somewhere that it's only mansplaining if it comes from the North west & Mann region of Britain, otherwise its just sparkling misogyny
@JillianMHurley 😂👍 that’s awesome I’m using this
@JillianMHurley This reminds me that, unfortunately, the German term HERRKLÄREN never caught on.
@cmdrSprocket @JillianMHurley
I feel like German would already have a much longer word for that, maybe Mannverunsichertüberseinenpeniserklären?
@echanda @JillianMHurley This would be definitely the case if a gouvernment agency was involved. 😅
@JillianMHurley That also covers the (very rare) cases when a woman does it, so I'll adopt the term.
@JillianMHurley Help is now available for this debilitating condition! In the form of a little blue pill known as Diagra-M.
@JillianMHurley you were asked to stop using the word "mansplaining"…….. by a man, I assume 🤔
@I will join you in this updated vanacular. 😂[email protected]

Answerphylaxis, an allergic reaction to hearing information you just know is "wrong" because you (without valid reason or knowledge) disagree with it. Symptoms include involuntarily spouting "well actually" and demands that people google irrelevant YouTubers who've been on Joe Rogan's podcast.
@JillianMHurley Hilariously, someone mansplained the nature and function of windows then went on to explain that there wasn’t any need to put window coverings on living room windows, nor to comply with a tribunal order to bring this house up to minimum standards for tenants. In email they said the agent ordered a blind not fit for purpose despite court orders. Later, they replied to my review. #A1Blinds 😂 #CorrectileDysfunction
@JillianMHurley it may or may not be related to “morning wood”

@JillianMHurley in b4 "I don't like this politically correct bullshit!" /s

but really what is it that drives 'mansplaining', is it being socioculturally a 'man' or is it 'having a penis’?

like if you're a trans man with a reconstructed penis, are you now privileged to mansplain? can you mansplain if you're any transman?

(unnnghhhh)

@JillianMHurley I just use splaining because people know what it means anyway.
@JillianMHurley Brilliant! 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

@JillianMHurley

There's a medication for that. It's called the STFU pill.

@JillianMHurley when your enemy takes the low road, take the even lower one
great strategy

@JillianMHurley

Some years ago a community I participated in coined the gender-neutral term "condesplaining"

@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.

@JillianMHurley
I did not see that coming. Guess buddy did not feel it coming either.
@JillianMHurley if the mansplainer was to die, it would probably be because he fell into a well, actually.
