'Mansplaining' is also an inherently sexist term, because it implies that the thing in question is only bad because a man is doing it. And there's no real way to combat the accusation because it can just be labeled mansplaining and dismissed.

The entire concept is a dismissive way of silencing men.

And there are some men who are rude and don't listen. I've met my share of women who are the same way. I wonder what the reaction would be if I said something like "you're being such a woman right now." That's effectively what the term mansplaining does.

It's socially acceptable in my workplace (female dominated) for women to say that they hate men. I've literally heard that. "All men are the same." I've been told that. I once heard a woman say she would exterminate all men if she could. I push back because I know I'm a good man, and their ideologies are weak (she'd be the first to go if all men actually disappeared). But I also have the fuck you money to confront these things and go all the way.

Is alienating good men really the solution? No. And as much as some women hate to admit it, they would starve and freeze to death if all men vanished from the earth. Men wouldn't survive without women either. We are equally important and should respect one another.
