I don't think we should gender minor annoyances (like "manthreading").But overuse of "authoritarian" is also bad.

Its only applicable when telling people what to do.

"Authoritarian" implies a political program. It implies fascism. It is not interchangeable with the word "bossy."

No, I don't think so. Its useful to describe a controlling, censorious attitude in social justice now. Opposite of libertarian

We need to be able to discuss conflicting attitudes re: freedom now. Whether ppl shld be free to say what they want or not.

Yes, but where did she suggest people shouldn't be free to (ugh) "manthread"? Where did she call for them to be stopped?

@barrydeutsch Where did I say she did? Its part of the whole 'mansplaining' 'manspreading' thing. Trying to control how others behave. - 14 more replies
