How can the opinion of a white man on the experiences of, say, a black woman have merit. That's what Adrian is talking about?

There are times when personal experience alone is called for, yes, but X-splaining so seldom refers to this. More general ethics & opinions.

I can have an opinion on men's rights issues even tho I am not a man. I can engage with men's arguments on this & evaluate them.

Learn from their POV on being men; *have* an opinion; do NOT preach your opinion abt men to men and expect it to be well-received.

Acknowledge that your opinion, automatically, by virtue of a lack of POV, cannot trump the opinion of someone who lives the POV every day.

That entirely depends if experience is what is being discussed. Most of the time it isn't.

If someone with a penis talks crap about the effects of circumcision, I can contribute some facts to the matter & have something to say.

Again.. expanding the argument. Contributing facts is NOT brandishing an option.

This is my argument. If urs is that mansplaining only refers to men telling women what its like to experience things only women experience

It is what I am talking about. The thread about mansplaining and whitesplaining.
