If I need a very basic explanation of something, I will ask for it. It probably won't be what atheism or feminism is.

I should be more patient. Usually when someone gives you the wikipedia summary of a issue, it's coz it's info they've recently acquired.

men do it more than women
-
What makes you think that?
-
Because historically men used to be more educated and education to women came after so they used to explain to women things they didn't know
-
Simplistic. A more nuanced view of history gives a different picture.

Even if men WERE proven to do it more, couldn't it just be a sign of them trying to impress women, rather than proof of them being "toxic"?
-
I think the many false accusations are exactly that tho not consciously, more an evolved trait of displaying knowledge which is power.
-
Definitely thinking evolved, like an extension of ancient innate peacocking. But if men cite "evolution" they too often get the eye-roll.

It seems to come naturally to a lot of men.
-
Not in my experience. The person driving me mad right now is a woman & this is just as often the case.
-
Yes we all know someone like that.

Working academia, I actually fear being accused of this so it actually changes the way I interact with (hyper progressive) women 1/?
-
So, the accusations that men treat discourse with women different than men actually becomes a self fulfilling prophecy 4 me at least 2/?
-
But in my case it's having to tread on eggshells and try to directly confront or disagree with someone rather than the opposite claim 3/3
-
Correction: I feel like I have to avoid direct confrontation and disagreement to avoid being accused of 'manslaining' -fin

I've always thought the word a rather transparent attempt to imply women aren't capable of being condescending or patronising.
-
Of course, we are incapable of being condescending, young man. You shd hv learned that in primary school. Do you know nothing? *sniff*
-
I know everything, I just have an absolutely terrible memory :P
