OK, I can't take it anymore. I promised myself I would limit my posts to game advice learned in my youth, but I have to post about the rising use of the world "mansplaining" in feminist circles. It's now bleeding into the larger media.
I saw a commenter on Jezebel use this term and I'm starting to crack from anger. Few other terms degrade men so much. This term seeks to invalidate anything a man says by making it a product of his ego, not his intellect. Considering how boys are now getting the shaft from our educational system, it stands to reason a term like this would come along to remove the dignity of anything a man tries to contribute.
Fuck the bitches who throw this word around.
Here is my solution to this. We need to agree with this term: "You're damn right we're 'mansplaining' because men invented, conceived, built, and delivered every thing you use in this world and we're the ones that need to explain why things are the way they are, because WE built the society."
Jesus am I starting to hate this whole society. I now get why Fred Reed and others got the fuck out. Feel free to contribute other responses to this, because people need to respond.
The other thing to do would also be to NOT help women with technical problems they always ask for help with and say "I wouldn't want to have to 'mansplain' and degrade you. Do it yourself."
