    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?
