It’s called mansplaining because overwhelmingly it’s done by men to women. It’s really funny how people like you decide that talking about any pervasive negative component of our society is sociology mumbo-jumbo. Next you’ll be pointing to the invalidity of our arguments because they are feminist! Meanwhile, it’s not necessarily either one — it just is. This is a thing that takes place very commonly — it’s a part of jousting for dominance in the hierarchy. Do you really want me to list you the 1,050,000 links of articles, studies, personal accounts, and other data about mansplaining? I can — but you went to a good school. I’m sure you know how to look shit up and interface with new ideas.

You are attempting to dominate, because you have yet to actually engage in any meaningful way. I don’t even know what you specifically disagree with because you’ve never said. You’ve made various disparaging remarks, but so far have yet to talk about what you do believe in (other than that racism and homophobia aren’t really a factor in those people’s lives -they’ve just imagined it all). But even so, you haven’t told us why you think that, other than to point us towards various people we should read. We didn’t initially cite you supporting quotes because you claimed to be familiar with the scientists in question. Turns out, you really weren’t, but that wasn’t our fault. You have cited nothing; no studies, no data, no reasonable insights or perspective. We’re just supposed to knuckle under because we see how awesome you are and how stupid and ill-informed we are. Puhleeze……

Perhaps you should look into taking a debate course. Medium is a place for exchanging ideas and experiences. That doesn’t mean that everyone plays nice or that everyone ultimately agrees, but it is set up as a place of discussion; not just for ego slap-fight ala Twitter. You might want to try having an actual intelligent discussion with someone one time and see how you like it.
