    I think it can be disposed of. It's very easy to say someone is being condescending due to sexism when there is evidence of this.https://twitter.com/Dix_Lel/status/912615608616980481 …

    I agree that most of the time, accusations of "mansplaining" are unfounded. However, that shouldn't turn the word into a non-usable one.

        It's non-usable because it's sexist. Created entirely to attempt to shut down men through shaming them for something they aren't.

        Socjus is about systematically inferring the most damning motivations to provide a unending stream of things to get outraged about

        Pretty much. If we actually fixed these problems a lot of people would be out of a job. They can't have that.

        It's always about an ethereal system over our heads or some unfalsifiable subconscious evil... A huckster's dream

        It's literally a new word. You wouldn't say picture of self, you'd say selfie. If you don't want to use it, that is PERFECTLY fine. /1

        "doesn't deserve word status" That's not how language works. I agree it's a weapon though.

        Yep. Keep it to individual criticism. You'd hope people who complain of being subject to mass harmeful unfair stereotypes would know better.
