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 …

The term is and should remain acceptable. But maybe it shouldn't be acceptable to misunderstand or misuse it? http://www.tomdispatch.com/blog/175584/rebecca_solnit_the_archipelago_of_ignorance …

"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.
