        @femfreq or you could just refer to it as "patronizing", which is something a lot of people do in general.

        @femfreq Should be "on her part, because she's a woman." Assuming ignorance and being patronizing isn't necessarily sexist.

        @femfreq @felltir think I do that to people generally, regardless of gender. I just have lousy communication skills.

        @femfreq explain how this is something that you should attribute to men. Can women not be patronizing?

        .@femfreq If you truly want men to respect women, then branding a type of negative behaviour as a "men against women" thing doesn't help.
