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.

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.
@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.
@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.
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."
@JillianMHurley that's not fully correct since you've to consider that...
Oh.. Never mind.
They should invent a blue pill for it.
WILD applause ! 👏
@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)
There's a medication for that. It's called the STFU pill.
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.
