Or people who bristle at sweeping generalizations and assumptions
Well that too, but the 2 types of people I just mentioned are the cause of the sweeping generalizations and assumptions.
This thread is what happens when people take themselves too seriously.2 -

Actually, no. Well, yes, but in the case of mansplaining, our sensitivity is irrelevant. An example - I replied to a man today in a mansplaining way and he replied that I didn't have to say it like that. When I told my hubs, he laughed, and said I picked that up from him. So men are offended by the way men speak in general. Right?
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the definition of "Mansplaining". In this case, the "Mansplaining" was done by a woman. So, ironically, we have "Womansplaining" in a thread complaining about "Mansplaining".
No, it wasn't mansplaing. But let me mansplain to show you why it wasn't.
Note the second sentence - "well yes" is an admission that in fact, women may be a bit more sensitive. Are you following me so far? Ok, good. So later in that sentence after that (still the second sentence, but after the "well yes") (remember now, the "well yes" is critical to you understanding this) I said that our sensitivity is irrelevant. Mansplaining is not an issue of female sensitivity but male unconscious condescending tone. See? So the real irony is not the woman mansplaining, but the woman explaining mansplaining to a man regarding the sesivities of women and the man being sensitive to this and calling it mansplaining by a woman who then has to manaplain why it wasn't mansplaining.
Now, I was thinking you could use a little tea, maybe take couple of deep breaths, you know how you get when you argue on the internet with strangers honey.
Sooo....was that "honey" consciously or unconsciously condescending?
Consciously, since I was mansplaining. But a man would just sprinkle that in to taste.
Does doing it consciously make it acceptable then, or is that only if you have a vagina?
Sounds pretty double standardy to me.
Not that I would expect anything less from a thread with this title.2 -

Manscaping? Patriarchal usurpation of feminine beauty standards, an acceptable contemporary expression of masculine vanity, or just emo?0

There are some people who brew their tea by having a temperature gauge on the water, putting the water into a second pot, having special cups for each type of tea they use, brew loose leaves out of a special box and pours with their wrist just so. And there are those who pour hot water in a mug and drop a tea bag into the water, add sweetener and move on with their lives. Each would think the other is doing it wrong, unless one was a rare bird that understood some people do things differently than they do and each has their own purpose for doing it that way. Long way of me saying, get over it, I am, but if you can't, I'm sure you have a reason not to, but I have better things to discuss.
I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to get over, but way to bow out dismissively in a typical "your type" fashion.1 -

I'm kind of hoping the Mayo/Miracle Whip thread will turn out like this and the hairy thread. It's just as trivial.1

I'll have to check that out. I care as much about that as I do these topics...which is to say "not at all."1

Well, I hate both, so I really should go over there and start a war. .0
