Bollocks. A man was just forced to resign for saying women talk a lot. The word 'mansplaining' remains acceptable.https://twitter.com/skybits/status/878163952961716224 …

"It shouldn't be gendered". I suspect you and your intellectual opponents think and say that lot... but maybe for different reasons.
-
Yes, I expect so. If we'd object to a man saying women talk too much, reasonable to object to mansplaining.
-
Let's object to: 1) saying something's "mansplaining" if it's not; and 2) saying "the women are talking more than the men" if they're not.
-
I'll object to gendered generalisations. Don't call condescending talk mansplaining or volubility womantalking.
-
Or because mansplaining is abt men being more direct & informative whilst women are often more circuitous & exploratory...
-
calling a failure to get to the point 'womanwaffling.' Just ask someone to get to the point.

Nor should most pronouns. Seriously...

Where's the outrage that my high school's pronoun changes (masculine or feminine) depending only on whether we call it "lycée" or "école"?
-
Sorry. French class memories. School is "une ecole". High school is "un lycee." A phallic banana and manly moustache are feminine nouns...
-
Anyway. For the record, my preferred pronoun is I'd-rather-get-right-to-your-point-so-call-me-he/she/it/thatidiot/etc...
-
...and I'll try to start with the assumption it's not a personal insult, even if it clearly is.
