I have a problem with Rick Perry's worldview in general, but not his comments about Wendy Davis in particularhttp://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/06/rick-perry-versus-wendy-davis.html …

@ryangrim Isn't "mansplaining" a term so loose it can be used against any argument a man makes with a woman? -
@jonathanchait if the man's argument is that it's unfortunate she doesn't know something, that's pretty fairly mansplaining -
@ryangrim But almost any argument presumes the other side doesn't know something. That's why there's an argument. -
@jonathanchait@ryangrim mansplaining is when men try to tell women things about their own lived experiences. -
@irincarmon@rachelsklar@jonathanchait@ryangrim FWIW in other realms "lived experience" is not trump card (eg. religious epiphanies) -
@irincarmon@rachelsklar@jonathanchait@ryangrim I say that bc I hate term "mansplaining," not to defend Rick Perry in any way -
@jeffbercovici@irincarmon@jonathanchait@ryangrim It's a pretty perfect term though, definition of "lived experiences" notwithstanding. - End of conversation
