    Men are more likely to 'information-impart' but not especially to women & to assume sexism is nearly always narcissistic & paranoid.https://twitter.com/greenrd/status/912244266453405696 …

    I've no doubt that they genuinely describe behaviour that some women have experienced from sexist men

        It just makes it more difficult for women if men are also made paranoid &feel they must start censoring their speech/tone when talking to us

        It's just not a norm for men to talk down to women & assume they're ignorant. Anyone doing this would just look like a twunt.

        Many older men, at least in US, are isolated esp after divorce. Many seem to be ill-equipped to make new friends. Maybe related to this.

        Yes, this is the argument made. They're likely to have less of an emotionally-supportive social network than women.

        Many do not know how to, or are not interested in, having an actual conversation, but it isn't just when speaking to women.

        It can often change when talking to women tho. Then men seem to feel more able to speak of feelings & relationships & explore them.

        Curious how old you are. Men in my generation and older assume women don't know stuff all the time. They also treat women like they are 1/2

        But why can't we just be who we were created to be? My wife tells me about her issues and because I care I try to fix them.

        In traditional provider role, men expected to have answers. Tendency to impart info a display of capability of taking care of family?

        My husband and I mansplain things to each other all day long. LOL. It isn't a "sexism against women" thing it's a "how guys just are" thing.

        But if Greg or his husband were explaining things to you the way they do to each other, might you perhaps mistake it for mansplaining?

        So, condescendingly expain something, to either a man or a woman, due to sexism? Yes, absolutely, if that is what you asked...

        No, that's not what I asked. I asked if a non-sexist explanation might be mistaken for a sexist one because the explainee is a woman?

        Yes, it can happen, though, admittedly, it is a more rare occurance.
